Can a landlord or property manager hire a cleanup company?

Yes. Owners and managers often book crime scene cleanup to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and an attorney or tenant rights group can explain the details.

Do I need to be at the property?

Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone, with a key holder or property manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether the building must stay open around the work.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.
