Permits landlords to take actions after death of tenant in certain situations.
This bill establishes clear procedures for landlords to handle property left by deceased tenants when no executor, administrator, or estate representative contacts them within 21 days of the tenant's death. It requires landlords to send certified mail notices to estate representatives, cosigners, and previously known occupants before disposing of property. Landlords can legally dispose of tenant property after the 21-day waiting period if no contact is made with an estate representative. The bill also states that landlords who proceed with property removal after being contacted by an estate representative may face liability for bad faith, including treble damages and attorney fees.
