Tenant passed away
My tenant (who was also my neighbor and friend) passed away very unexpectedly. The emotional issues are hard enough, but are there any legal issues that I should be thinking about?
One point I'm struggling with is the security deposit. If I'm able to get a new tenant in on the first then I'll return the deposit to his parents. But what if I go a month without a new tenant? On the one hand his family is grieving and I don't want to add any difficulties. One the other hand, absorbing a $2,000 loss will be difficult right now. Please give me your insights both legal and moral.
