When the landlord dies, everyone believes that Sandra (Jackée Harry) will become the new landlord, including Sandra. She assures Mary (Marla Gibbs) that once she becomes the new landlord that Mary will have to find a new place to live after her lease runs out. The tenants all go to the will reading and it is discovered that he actually leaves the building to Rose (Alaina Reed Hall). However, when Mary thought that Sandra would get ownership of the building, she called a building inspector to check out 227. He states that 227 is in need of numerous repairs, more than the tenants can afford. (Shortly after the cancelation ofThe Jeffersons, Marla Gibbs now stars in this show.)
