The landlord insists that the deceaseds belongings be removed immediately. What shall I tell him?
The deceased’s belongings are assets of the deceased’s estate and the landlord should be advised to find out who is authorized to administer the estate and can undertake the responsibility of removing the effects. Landlord and tenants’ rights and obligations are covered in the Residential Tenancy Act administered by the Residential Tenancy Office. The landlord should refer to this legislation to determine under what circumstances he may deal with the deceased’s belongings himself.
