Who do you pay rent to? Or do you not pay any rent? Somebody has to own this property and pay the taxes on it. I suggest that you go to te recorder of deeds and see who is now listed as the registered owner of the property. You might also want to check the tax records to see who is paying taxes on this property. Finally, you can check with the Orphan's Court to see if an estate for the deceased landlord was ever probated. if so, that file may contain information regarding the4 executor. You can then contact the executor and make any arrangements with him or her.
