My long-term tenant’s health seems to be failing – what should a landlord do?

Hello, I own a number of properties with long-term, hassle-free tenants. One of them has been rented to a retired chap for 15 years with absolutely no problems.

The rent has kept pace with the market. He keeps the house in excellent condition, and I have responded immediately to any issues. We consequently have had a good relationship, though increasingly I have been hands-off as things are so stable.

I sense he is becoming ill, I know he has had some spells in hospital in the past year.

Do any landlords out there have any tips on how or what I should do to pre-empt the situation when he suddenly becomes ill or, unfortunately, dies?

What will happen if he dies and the rent stops being paid?

Any lessons from lived experience of this kind of situation would be very well received.

Thanks,

Marcus
