Call me a jerk, but chances are that person probably had a chance to buy life insurance or something like that to make sure his/her family was taken care of in case of that. Is it the land lords fault that the family didn't consider this scenario and have things in place? I mean I'm sorry, but at some point in time people have to be held accountable for the descisions they make. If I decide to have children I will make sure that if I pass away things be be set up so that my wife and kids don't have to take to the streets. If the father passes away the better answer might be to ensure surviving families receive at least the full insured EI earnings of the deceased wage earner unitl all dependant children attributed to that person reach the age of 18.
It also works the other way too, when my father passed away in July, my mom is left with a second house that needs repairs etc and to collect rent. Yet when the tenant runs rampant and is months behind on rent theres next to nothing she can do except up the rent to try and squeeze him out. Yet you paint that picture and most people think the rent increaser is some rich old heartless broad, and the tenant is another poor old guy struggling with the cost of living.
