unfortunately, my tenant passed away.   he has left his mother and a child at the property.  Will not charge the rent for this month. Does anyone know what is the correct way to handle this situation? 30 days notice ?  Is there a Oklahoma law to handle this situation? Not sure what to do about security deposit. Dont mind to give it back. but what if property is damaged?

@Alex Gerasimov 

Upon the death of a landlord or tenant, a valid lease creates obligations that survive the death of the landlord or tenant, with certain exceptions. A tenant's estate (his mom) remains liable for payment of rent if the tenant dies; the landlord's (your) estate remains bound to provide occupancy despite the landlord's death.
