Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
A lightly packed home can be a do-it-yourself project with gloves, masks and helpers. A heavily packed house brings lifting injuries, hidden hazards and emotional strain, and a team is usually the safer choice.
Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.
Regular junk removal assumes you point at items and they go. A hoarding cleanout includes sorting for valuables, hazard checks, protective gear, disposal of spoiled or contaminated items and cleaning afterward. It takes more care and more time.
That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.
Not always. If access can be arranged, the owner or a family member does not have to stay on site. Clear instructions about what to keep and a way to reach someone help the job go smoothly.
Call and ask how valuables, papers and keepsakes are kept safe during the haul-away.
