In most states if you break your lease you are responsible for the rent for each month the unit is vacant, up until it is rented out or until the leases expired, whichever comes first. Furthermore your landlord will be allowed to keep your security deposit.

Can someone with a Power of attorney for someone who inherited his mothers property evict without notice if he sells property in Ohio?

The person in the property (the tenant) will have a lease. This is a legal document which sets out how the tenant may be evicted (but can not ignore the federal or state laws that may also apply). This lease is between the tenant and the landlord (whoever the landlord may be) and it will normally specify a period of notice that the landlord MUST give the tenant if the landlord wishes to evict the tenant. So look at the lease and get an attorney if you are worried.

Depending on the state laws. Ohio is NO. Unless written into the lease as a clause clearly indicating the loss of life factor, then the end of the life is the end of the lease. The use cannot continue once the original lease holder dies. This is not necessarily true for property leased for a business. The business assets may be required for lease fulfillment then but NOT for lease of residential.
