How to get permit if your landlord died?

Just because the landlord died does not mean the property is unowned It would belong to the deceased estate and be subject to probate court rules before being transferred to heirs or sold. In the meantime the Executor of the Estate will act as landlord and will collect rent and give permission for any changes to the property. Good Luck

Control of the property would have passed to the owner's personal representative (the executor of his/her estate). You will need to continue paying your rent, but you'll need to find out to whom you need to make those payments. That person would be the one making decisions for the decedent and his/her property. If you don't know who that is or how to get in touch with them, try sending a letter to the decedent's home address- someone who knows that information should be getting their mail. Address it to the "Personal Representative of (landlord's name), and in the letter explain that you are a tenant in the property owned by them and will require instruction for whom to address rent payments and maintenance issues, and provide all of your contact information. When they tell you where to send the payment, make sure to keep copies for your records of both that information and of your payments. Get receipts if you can.

You cannot, plan on moving asap. The building will be tied up in probate for at least a year and you will be out any money you put into it.
