Who is responsible for cleaning out an apartment after a death?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain what applies. The tenant's family or estate usually has to clear belongings by a set date, and a team can work to that deadline.
I am overwhelmed. Where do I begin?
Begin with one call and one room. Ask a team what the steps are, and decide only what you must today. You can pause at any point. If the grief feels like too much, 988 offers support by call or text at any hour.
Can the team find and keep valuables?
Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.
Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?
Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.
Will the neighbors know?
Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord.
What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?
