Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Death of a tenant

Tenant has current lease agreement but died with no next of kin. His apartment was condemed for no human occupancy by code enforcement after ambulance and police call that took him to the hospital. I have a bid of $3,500.00 to remove the trash and debris from the apt. which I have 5 days to do per code enforcement. Who pays for this and what about his rent that will be due in fullfillment of his lease along with his belongings in the apt?
