Who pays for odor removal in a rental?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle it through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.
I smell something and I am afraid of what I will find. What should I do?
