Landlord Demands Rent After Death: A Week Later
9 Oct
Summary
- Landlord requested rent one week after tenant Ken Urker's death.
- Urker's family had cleaned the rental unit, expecting deposit to cover rent.
- Landlord later waived the remaining rent balance for the deceased tenant.
A landlord has faced scrutiny for requesting rent from the family of Ken Urker, one week after his passing on October 1. Urker's relatives reportedly cleaned out the rental property, expecting his security deposit to cover the $1,400 October rent.
The landlord's demand came exactly seven days after Urker's death, which the family found to be insensitive. Despite this, the landlord confirmed Urker had signed a lease extension through December.
Following the family's reaction and the circumstances, the landlord ultimately decided to waive the remaining rent due for Ken Urker.
