Death of Tenant Ohio

Brock Mitchem

Posted

I have an older tenant that just passed.  She was suffering from dementia and had a stroke.  Her daughter co-signed the lease for her and handled all of the rent payments as the tenant was unable to do these tasks.  They are currently on month 6 of a 12 month lease.  The daughter suggested they pay half January so they have time to remove her belongings then terminate the lease agreement.  I know that she is technically liable for the rest of the lease, but would be alright with her paying for January and leaving us with the deposit which would give us income for 2 months so we can get this rented again.  What should my first steps in the process be?  I just want to be legally sound here so nothing happens down the road.  Thanks in advance.

Brock
