Merely, a week or two after death most surviving family members begin to explore their plans for making the adjustments needed and assessing what resources are required and similar thoughts.Never send insincere condolence cards or sympathy notes.

Thank you for the condolences, I appreciate the advice @Aaron Byrne.

Both paid on time and are/were excellent tenants.Since the accident just happened, I have not spoken to the family, I have texted with the room mate though to offer condolences and let him know we are here if he needs anything.My plan is to call my lawyer in the morning and get his advice on how to handle.  

My sincere condolences.  

Bowland,First and most importantly, I offer my condolences on the passing of your loved one, Robert O Bowland.

My sincere condolences @Paul Sandhu to your guest's family and yourself. 

Today, I think that the wrong approach.My preferred approach is to never feign syrupy condolence (because it comes across as insincerely and inappropriate from a stranger).

(Driving a tenant to the airport, helping a tenant dispose of their pet after it died, moving a mailbox to better accommodate a tenant need, replacing regular toilets with a chair height (ADA height) toilet for those who would benefit from such, sending a condolence card at a time of personal loss.)Move in packet with information about the neighborhood and contact information for reaching communicating with us.Move in gifts that will help them settle in.

I decided that if I am going to pay significantly more for housing, it should probably be my own home at this point.My plan is to slowly build a rental portfolio starting with a 2 bed 2 ba condo; live in one room rent the other out.

My wife never ever made one comment to me with the exception of a short condolence.
