Unless it is in the contract or required by law, the property management company is probably not required to tell the property owner if a tenant commits suicide. However, common sense and protection from possible liability would recommend that action. A death would have occurred on that piece of property. The property owner should be notified. The property owner should have a copy of the investigation and a copy of the death certificate. If the property owner never receives a certified letter with a copy of the investigation, it would seem like the management company might be part of a coverup in a death. So, to protect itself, the property management company should send the property owner a certified letter with a return receipt containing the report of the investigation.

Is it legal for your landlord to raise your rent almost 400 dollars if he found out a 4th person was living in your house before he was told?

Well, it's probably in your lease agreement that you have to notify your landlord of an additional tenant. That's pretty standard. Whether he's raising the rent on all the apartments or just on yours because of the extra tenant is the question. As a landlord, he can raise rent if he wishes. He could probably also evict you or the extra tenant too, so it's delicate ground. Read your lease agreement. If you don't find a clause stating that the landlord can raise the rent due to an extra tenant, you might have a case. A call to your local clerk of the court can head you in the right direction for investigating the landlord/tenant laws in your state.

What are the symbols in ballad of the landlord?

In "Ballad of the Landlord" by Langston Hughes, some symbols include the "broken windows" representing the deteriorating living conditions for the tenant, the "leak in the roof" symbolizing neglect by the landlord, and the "slops" symbolizing the tenant's poverty and struggle with basic necessities. These symbols highlight the themes of social injustice and unequal power dynamics between landlords and tenants.

Original tenant dies and her siblings and son are in the house The siblings sign a lease with the landlord Can the landlord terminate the lease after running a background check?

Once a lease is mutually agreed upon (signed by both sides) it generally must be honored. But if the landlord asked the potential new tenant if he has a criminal record, that tenant denies such, and it is found out later that he has one, yes: the landlord can terminate the lease for fraud.
