Answer:
Unless there is a clause in the lease providing otherwise, the general rule is that a lease is not terminated by the death of the landlord or the tenant. On the death of the landlord, the tenant would therefore continue in the same relationship with the person who takes over the landlord’s interest or ownership in the rental property. However, if you are a tenant-at-will, the death of the landlord automatically terminates the tenancy.
