My tenant passed away. I learned from his neighbors that he had been accommodating his brother for two years. Can I still get my property back?

It depends. On the tenant’s death, the lease can be transferred to certain individuals expressly covered by the law (art. 14 law n°89-462 of July 6, 1989). Thus, if your tenant’s brother was dependent on the latter and lived with him for at least one year on the date of his death, he can request the transfer of the contract to his benefit.
