Is a daughter, divorced from her husband before the death of her father, entitled to live with her stepmother in the apartment rented in her father's name?

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.
