I have named changed and altered a few details.
My tenant who had sole occupancy has died. Their bank account is frozen so obviously next month's rent won't be paid. Their family have notified the letting agency and are awaiting a death certificate.
My worry is something my husband has just said. The family of the tenant have fallen out and some family members are trying to get into the house to take things. The executor has asked to change the locks at their expense. My husband's comment is this is a ruse used by squatters as an open gambit to gain entry without forcing it,
As a background relationships with the tenant were difficult at times but they paid their rent on time.
I am worried as no-one else should have been in the house as the tenant was the only person on the lease and they have no offspring under 18.
Has anyone had experience or can offer advice?
