No, not generally. The landlord or company that owns an apartment block is just interested in getting good tenants in and the rent being paid. Communicate what is going on with your landlord and there should be no problems. You must have checks or receipts that you paid for the rent all this time so this is in your favor.
Only if the leaser agrees.
Likely not. If they got a better offer, or someone had cash in hand, and you had no written contract, they would be prone to take that person first.
I would wait alt least a moth before adding someone new to your lease. But really it all depends on who it is and how well you know the person.
Sometimes when living situations do not work, a person must be removed from a lease. Usually, a person only has to speak with the landlord, and the landlord will remove the person from the lease.
Possibly. If someone pays money in exchange for a place to live, that person is a tenant.

If the lease is in his name and he passed away, then read the lease agreement. Frequently, when a person leases a car and dies, the car goes back to the company that leased it. If you want to do something else, you will need to get with the company that wrote the lease.

There are several reasons why someone might want to swap a lease. It could be because their financial situation has changed and they can no longer afford the payments, they no longer need the vehicle, or they simply want to get into a different car. Swapping a lease allows them to transfer the remaining lease term and payments to someone else, relieving them of the financial responsibility.
If the lease prohibits subletting you will be violating the terms of the lease. In this case the landlord would have to agree to create an entirely new lease listing the other person instead of you for it to be legal. As it is a new lease the rent could be noticeably higher for the new person than it was for you. If the lease does not prohibit subletting you can do this by simply renting your part to the other person, have them pay you and you continue paying the landlord. However this is very rare.
It depends if that person is named on the lease ie. a joint lease. If the roomate is the sole leasee then usually it is to the landlord discretion whether to lease to someone else. You have to inform the landlord of the change otherwise it is a breach of rental agreement. I would suspect that 99% of landlords are more than happy to have someone who lives in the property take over the lease, it saves a lot of time and money in finding a new tenant.
