The person is not the same legal entity as the estate-- the estate cannot take possesion --- the landlord can't sue a dead person -- this isn't a real case just a moot exercise for fun

It would be a tough case for the landlord to win . A tenancy is a contract, not an assett.
The contract is between the landlord & the deceased so the landlord would struggle to claim against the estate.

Being dead does not get you out of a lease, the estate is responsible for ALL debts and obligations of the dead person. So yes, the landlord can sue the estate for the remaining rent.

The obligation of the tenant concerning money such as rents survives upon his death and it is chargeable to his estate. Thus, the landlord can claim for the unpaid rents against the estate of the tenant.

yes, the estate assumes the debt of the decedent. the unpaid landlord can always run after the estate or his heirs. his heirs assume all the property, transmissible rights as well as the debts of the decedent limited to the estate of the accused.
