Check with the County Clerk about Probate; if she had a will she has an Executor and you'll be able to get in touch and might get paid by the estate. If she didn't have a will (most likely) then it's going into the Probate Court and will be tied up a long time, you'll need to submit a claim of some kind and might eventually get paid.
If the kids are still there, check on them and make sure they're being taken care of, who's the family, etc, do what you can to help and definitely get names and addresses etc. |

Since the kids are minors, I am sure they will be taken by a relative or The State since they cannot live on their own so no need to worry about eviction. I'd say that you are out of luck on the June rent and you have to just suck that up. If she has any kind of estate, then maybe you will get paid. But who are you going to sue, her kids? Her parent? One months rent is not a tragic loss |

Back rent? Are you heartless? What re you going to do, sue the KIDS for it? I would cut my losses, and be the bigger person. Go to the wake, give the family your condolences, and let those kids know you will help them if need be. You would throw kids on the street? Vacate them, you make me sick. I am sure they will be moving in with family soon since they are KIDS, just be patient.
Man how can you be so heartless? |

A month to month agreement should be quick to get out of. Yes you may have to evict the tenants for non payment, so get that started now. As heartless as it seems, you are not in business to be the guardian of these children and a family member should have stepped in by now - call child welfare to get some help for them to ease your mind about their care - these children are not able to live on their own and are probably not able to coordinate moving on their own.
You could check on line with your state legal statues to see time frame for eviction, or invest a buck and call your attorney- which would be your most prudent move. |

I would just let it slide about the June rent. Perhaps there was serious health issues and thats why she couldnt afford the rent. I'd let it go, you don't want to stick two kids with it. I'm sure the state will step in quickly and remove the children so you should be able to rent again by the 1st of the month. |

If i die the mortgage is still due.... and my estate pays it.
its not cruel its business and my mortgage must be continually paid by the estate until the house is sold or the balance is paid off. No different than in your situation.
Find out who the executor of the estate is and speak to them. The estate owe's the bills currently due. Which includes Junes rent. If you are feeling generous waive the rent for next month as they sort out their affairs and vacate... but i wouldn't feel guilty about billing the estate for each month the house is occupied. |

I would say these poor children need some guidance. Are they living there alone? Have you seen any relatives or authorities checking on them? Turn on the charitable charm and go talk to the 17 year old. If they have no relatives, they may need you to direct them to social services. Don't worry about your rent - do you want them to be homeless? |

I think I would call a social worker at the childrens welfare dept. then ask them what to do sence the children are under age. Then file a clam for the rent money, or follow the instructions they gave me. |

the estate is responsible for any outstanding debts. you will need to file a claim to recover you rent. The kids being minors will be appointed a guardian and they will be responsible for their care and paying of their debts. SEE A GOOD LAWYER |

I am guessing you are not going to recoup the June rent. the kids being minors will have to be adopted by other family members or the state will place in foster home.
sorry for the loss and it's sad then tenant passed, but I realize that having rental property is still a business of yours that you have to attend to for your own good, while showing sympathy to the family in their time of loss, but they should also understand that it's not your responsibility as a landlord to support their family financially. |
