If a tenant dies and there are no other tenants in the apartment, the landlord can get rid of any unsafe items right away. The landlord must keep other belongings safe for 30 days so that the tenant's relatives or legal representative can arrange to deal with them. The legal representative is usually the person who is named in the will or by a court to look after the property (estate) of the person who died.
Assuming the magisterial district judge sides with the landlord, the landlord must wait 11 days before filing and serving an order of possession. The tenant then has 10 days to vacate the premises. Finally, on the 11 day, the landlord can change the locks and evict the tenant with the help of a sheriff or constable. In the end, eviction takes about six weeks from filing the complaint to changing the locks and removing the tenant.
