My tenant, Dennis, passed away in the hospital yesterday evening. Some kind of advanced liver disease. The social worker and Dennis' companion will be coming by at some point to deal with the belongings. I will inquire with the social worker later to see what the deal is. I don't believe the companion has a stable home, and he has also been in and out of the hospital (for what, I do not know).

Dennis' companion is in hospital at the moment and is likely to be for a couple more days - he thought he'd be out Monday, perhaps. I will make a point of going downstairs and taking ample pictures of the state of things in the interest of documentation.

Yes, yes it does.

That sounds really emotionally-complicated to deal with. My sympathies/condolences; please assume I'm saying something useful and supportive here.

Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that and sorry that there will be a bit of deal involved and wish you loads of spoons to cope with it all.

That's unfortunate.

As a landlord, are there any laws about how one is supposed to deal with this situation?

I am sorry for the complication and hassle, and also sorry for the death of someone nearby if not really close. In response to deguspice's comment I checked, and we have a copy of Nolo Press' "Every Landlord's Legal Guide". "Death" was not in the index but tomorrow I can look at it more thoroughly to see if there's anything useful on the subject, or we could lend it to you if it would be helpful.

Ah, I'm sorry. For him, him, and you.

Documentation can never hurt, though...

Ouch. How complicated, if not exactly unexpected. There seems to be a lot of death going around right now. :/ Good luck dealing with all the complications and fall-out thereof.
