Rent-controlled apartment and deceased roommate.
May 8, 2017 6:52 PM   Subscribe

My roommate passed away recently. I live in a rent-controlled apartment with the deceased and a third roommate. They had both signed a renewed lease this year. The guarantor on the lease is the deceased's family member. We are not sure what to do next. Are we to notify building management? find another guarantor? find a roommate who will take over her part of the lease? I will not takeover the lease. We live in NYC. Please advise.

Contact the Met Council on Housing renter's hotline or the city's HPD has aresources page. These organizations will be able to give you up-to-date, reliable advice on next steps.

New York's rental laws are complex, but especially if you are in a rent-controlled or rent-stabilized apartment, they work in your favor. Good luck!
