Who pays for hoarding cleanup?
Most often the resident or the property owner pays, and family members sometimes share the cost. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some local aging services or housing agencies help in some places, so it is worth asking.
Can a landlord require hoarding cleanup?

What mental illness do most hoarders have?
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.
What is hoarding cleanup?
Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.
Does hoarding qualify as a disability?
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Whether it counts as a disability for housing or work depends on the situation and the law. A tenant rights group, a housing agency or an attorney can answer for a specific case.
