What does it mean if a landlord gives a tenant lifetime rights to a house at the time of his death?
It means that there is a written (signed and notarized) document in which the landlord has deeded the house to the tenant for as long as he lives, and that document is recorded like any other deed.
For example, the landlord A could give the property to tenant B "for B's life", meaning that A would get it back when B dies, or A's heirs would get it back if A had died by that time.
Alternatively, "A to B as long as B lives, retaining a life estate for A" would mean that B only owns it after A dies and then A's heirs get it back when B dies. It would be cleaner to put it into the will as "to B for life, then to C." That way A retains complete ownership until he or she dies, B gets lifetime right of ownership and C gets it after that.

Does a landlord have a right to hold back a security deposit if the tenant dies?
Death of the tenant terminates the tenancy. The landlord should handle the security deposit according to the law, which likely means forwarding it to the estate. If rent is owed, the landlord could apply the deposit to the arrearage, and so notify the executor.

However, the landlord has an obligation to try to rent the unit.
