Hi, my lease is up at the end of the year, and my LL sent a lease, but it's my mom's name. She sadly passed away in April, and I notified them of this then via certified mail. I also sent them a request to put my name on the lease instead, but it's been a few weeks, and I still haven't heard back.
I've lived with my mom here my whole life, so I definitely qualify for succession rights. I worry daily about the lease, and I'm just wondering what I should do. Am I within my rights to simply cross out my mom's name, and put mine, and send it back to them? Is this in violation of anything?
Any advice would be appreciated.
