Questions Families Ask About Cleaning Out a House After a Death in Tribeca / Civic Center, New York, NY

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.

Who decides what is kept and what is removed?

The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.

How do you clean out a loved one's home?
