Rental Lease Says If I Die, The Landlord Can Immediately Bar Entry To Family Or Friends And Take Possession Of My Belongings. What Can I Do To Allow My Representative(s) Inside To Retrieve My Stuff In A Timely Fashion Before The Landlord "disappears" All

Single, older female, mid-70s, low income due to Social Security (but the apartment is not for "low income"). Lived in this modest apartment in my home state of Florida for about 10 years. Each lease I've signed has a clause that says if the tenant dies, the landlord has the right to refuse entry to anyone not on the lease, and that the landlord can take possession of the contents of the apartment and do with the contents as they please.

I've hated that clause, but had no choice. I've not been able to move since I retired due to the expense. (I won't go into all of that right now.) Since I am in my 70s with a few issues, I worry about that clause now more than ever.

I want to hang on to my stuff until I die, and then would like to see either a friend or relative inherit the stuff. I know that involves a will, but I need to have something more immediate that could be filed with the landlord to allow those representatives entry upon my death - not two months later which by that time the landlord could have thrown it all in a dumpster or sold it online.

So is there a legal remedy, or a simpler remedy, to that clause?

I understand the landlord's point of view - they want to rent out the apartment as soon as possible and they don't GAF about my stuff. But is there a civil way to prevent this from happening right away?

I do have an "emergency contact" on file, but that's no guarantee the landlord, who is not known to be - how you say? - nice and considerate, would abide by it. Even if my contact was called, the landlord can still deny that person entry, as I understand it.

So what to do? I wish I could hire a lawyer to ask, but right now I'm tapped out due to a vastly higher rent increase by this same landlord (it's happening all over the country, I know...) I might could save up within the next few months for a lawyer, if I knew there was something that I could actually do to get my stuff to the right people in a timely fashion after my death, and not allow my landlord to do with it as they please.

Or, does a lawyer have to be involved at all? I simply don't know the answer to this problem which I am sure others have had or ran across. Thanks for any advice you might offer.
