The answer

If the apartment lease contract is valid, fulfilling its conditions, including the specification of a term, then the death of the tenant does not invalidate the contract, according to the preponderant opinion. Rather, it continues, and their heirs inherit the usufruct because it is a form of wealth. Consequently, the usufruct of leasing the apartment is a right for all heirs according to their shares, and none of them has the right to inhabit it without the consent of the others.
