I understand that a former landlord of mine files a complaint against me, but I just found out and he died about 3 years ago. Is that complaint still valid?

What is the status of the matter? By "complaint", do you mean in a Court? Was a Judgment entered? :If so, that judgment becomes an asset of the estate of the deceased person. However, if his family is unaware of it, it may, eventually go away. Your best bet is to speak with a good local lawyer. Good luck.
