The lease and local law decide, but landlords commonly get biohazard cleanup done for the building. A renters insurance policy may cover the tenant's belongings. Talk to the landlord and your insurer early.
Biohazard cleanup is the removal, cleaning and disinfection of anything that can spread disease: blood, bodily fluids, tissue, decomposition, human and animal waste, raw sewage, sharps and drug residue. It covers crime scene cleanup, unattended death cleanup, trauma scene cleanup, suicide cleanup, hoarding cleanup and infectious disease disinfection.
A cleanout of belongings can take from a day to several weeks depending on how much is in the home. If a death left biohazards, the biohazard cleanup comes first, and sorting or hauling follows once the area is safe.
Many policies do cover cleanup after a death in the home, but some exclude certain causes or situations. Read the policy or ask the insurer which parts apply. Call the insurance company before cleanup starts, and keep photos and receipts for the claim.
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, odor and chemicals may be present, and the work is easier to do safely with people and pets elsewhere. The crew can say what is safe for your situation.
Tell the landlord and the renters insurer right away. With renters in about 39% of homes in Bardstown, many rentals have a process for this. The building is usually the owner's job, and belongings may fall under the tenant's policy.
