I think it's a genuine concern as a landlord. Do you want to have a rotting corpse in your house/neighborhood just sitting there?

Well, you should be able to leave for a week without having to tell your neighbors all about it. It may be different for old weak people who are unlikely to just go to vacation all of a sudden.

While that might be the case, a 'landlord' can't just enter a house or apartment.
