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.
What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?
Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.
