What happens to Janet's lease after Wendy died?

When Wendy died, the lease she had with Janet does not automatically terminate; rather, it typically continues in effect, and the responsibilities of the landlord are transferred to Wendy's heirs or estate. This means that the heirs become the new landlords, assuming all rights and responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement.

In most cases, a residential lease is an asset of the estate, and the heirs or personal representatives of the deceased landlord inherit those rights. Therefore, Janet would continue her tenancy under the same terms of the lease with the new landlords, ensuring stability and legal continuity in her rental arrangement.

The other options do not accurately reflect the principles of property law concerning lease agreements and inheritances. For instance, a lease does not automatically convert to a month-to-month lease, nor does the tenant have a specific time frame to vacate, and the lease is not terminated simply due to the landlord’s death. Each of these scenarios would need specific conditions or actions to occur.
