There's some glitching going on when a landlord dies. It never removes the owner. The tenants will get a new landlord for interactions, but in manage worlds, the property is owned by someone. It causes confusion when you try to have someone else become the new one. To fix it you have to sell it in manage worlds. The text says "The  household will no longer be the property owner." with an extra space of where the family name should be.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Rent out a unit and let the occupants die.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The unit doesn't show as vacant and I can't rent it out. The button "fill vacancy isn't there.
    What do you expect to see? The name of the unit and the "fill vacancy" button are show up so I can fill the vacancy.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    My renters died and I got a notification saying that they were being vacated and their unit is now unoccupied. But I can't fill the vacancy and the unit isn't showing as unoccupied (I can still evict but not really, as it does't do anything). As a temporary solution I assigned the rooms to a new unit but I don't want endless emty units.

  • Hello, I got a notification about a fine to pay for unjust eviction, on my toddler phone??? When I check the panel of my sim I still have all my renters, and when I go on the lot, it says the renter is dead but I can’t re rent it, and the renter is written as “XXXXXXX” on the world ???…

    I tried a lot of things but it seem to worsen the thing, right now I have the “XXXXX” renter and another one I made move in in hope of correcting the bug….
