Tenant is dying, what to do?
Comments

what a horrible situation to be in, I feel for you and the tenant of course. I would try to speak to him and ask him what he wants if he is lucid, maybe put a note on the front door inside to attract his family to ring you if they visit. it all sounds good on the programmes, invest in property rent out but they don't tell you all the heartache and stress that goes with it. good luck.0

Worth joining a LL association (the fees are tax deductible) for access to their legal specialists; if the tenant dies intestificated it could be a while for things to get sorted0

Check this site out as it gives some information on death of tenants: http://www.easyhousinglaw.co.uk/article/death-of-a-tenant-what-happens-1351596425.htm0

If you have known the tenant for many years, why not visit him in hospital and talk to him about it.
He is probably worrying about the same thing.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

Just in case: Unlike in England, in Scotland, when a tenant dies the tenancy dies too - unless someone is living with them and has succession rights (complicated area..)0

Indeed: You could reassure him you'll liase who whoever he would like you to contact. You might find out (to your advantage..) who nearest relos are and/or executors.... I'm sure you'll ask sensitively....0 -
I am waiting until he has been reassessed by his oncology Dr tomorrow before I visit again, but I am not holding out much hope that he will be lucid, the last time I spoke with him he was legally drugged out of his mind.
That is assuming he will still be alive tomorrow.I am a LandLord,(under review) so there!:p0
