If it's not the landlord ending the lease then who fucking cares? This just gives tenants the option of leaving if another person who was contributing to the rent dies, instead of being on the hook for the rest of the lease.

There's no reason to extrapolate anything from this, anymore than the "landlord fails to repair" clause means that all landlords are going to conspire to stop fixing buildings.

There's plenty of real shit going on; we don't need to go grasping at straws.
