Hi,

The tenant agreement is one to one contract right?

But I found this item:

"This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors-in-title and assigns of the Landlord and Tenant."

Why rental agreement is family to family contract? I found this wrong. I never see any rental contract like this before.

Should this be removed from the contract?

My parents are renting a house. I am not supposed to be engaged their matters because I don't sign. If my parents sign such a contract, do I have to find a lawyer?

Thanks in advance.

my understanding is that it allows the landlord's heir to take over should the landlord pass away as according to the will. The contract is still in force even though the original owner passes away and ensure the contract do not die with him/her. This ensures the tenant cannot be evicted just because the new owner takes over. As for the landlord this ties the tenant to the duration of the contract even if they pass away. The heir either continues to stay for the duration or pays the remaining sum. I am not a lawyer. You can bring your contract to a conveyancing lawyer to check through
