Landlord died randomly and now we don't know what to do?
So my friends have a house and the landlord died randomly, they are keeping the rental money to the side and they have tried contacting the landlords family but they've got no response, now they are worried and don't know what to do and they cannot get permits to do work on the house which it needs because the landlord is dead, I'm going to be moving in with them but they are looking at new places cuz of the dead landlord and no replys. Only problem is they want to move somewhere I can't go cuz my collage is here and my family is here, I was moving out of my moms to live with them and my parents already have plans as to what my rooms going to be and after all the plans this suddenly happens???? What are we supposed o do cuz I'm not going back on my word about moving out but I don't want to go far away, plus I have a job here. Is there any way they can keep their current house or will they be kicked out

First of all - look up the meaning of the word "randomly". More likely you mean "suddenly".
Why would they being doing work on a house they don't own?
This questions sure sounds like it's all about you.
Your friends should set aside the rent every month until they are contacted.
What will happen is the landlord's estate will need to be settled. Someone will eventually contact your friends. Could be the building will need to be sold to settle the estate. But that could take some time. Could be he left the building to an heir - and life for the tenants will go on as usual.
As far as "any way" they can keep it depends on the circumstances when the landlord's family gets around to taking care of his business - and that doesn't happen immediately after a death.
"Kicked out" sounds rather harsh. They may be asked to move - may not. IT ALL DEPENDS.
If they decide to move - they need to still cover the rent and any terms of the lease.
"after all the plans this suddenly happens????" --- Pretty sure landlord didn't up and die just to irritate you or interrupt your life.
As you have nothing to do with this place - yet - what YOU are supposed to do is make other plans. What your friends are supposed to do is put the rent money aside and possibly wait and see what will happen once the family gets to settling landlord's business. If they don't want to do that and they move - then your plans change, don't they?
