Conjunction and comma

There is a long sentence having three individual parts joined with conjunctions such as :

The family members those who are living with the tenant upto the death of the tenant, and dependent on the tenant or any person authorised by the tenant.

In the above sentence there is a comma after first part and a conjunction or in between second and third part.
My question is whether conjunction or replaces the entire first and second part or only second part i.e. " dependent on the tenant.

Thanks

First, this is not a correct sentence, because there is no main verb. Did you mean to type this?
