Current Events > why exactly do we have to report to a landlord when someone passes away?

(+) Yeah! (+)

what does it matter so much that someone died as long as we're still paying the rent? Landlord got upset when they weren't told about a death right away.

They need to call a ghost buster to scrub the house

Did the person die inside the unit? That seems like the sort of thing they'd want to know about

Oh you wanted to have someone die while you're renting from us? We need to know because we own where you live.

Who cares what they want to hear about? It's not their business unless it's directly related to the unit.

Why am I not surprised that a landlord acted in an incredibly selfish and dehumanizing way?

Anyway I am sorry about your lost. Take the time it needs to get better and take care of yourself
