Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
Stay calm and kind. Ask what they most want to keep, avoid words like trash or filth and never remove things without asking. A cleanup team can explain the plan so the person knows what to expect.
Not always. If access can be arranged, the owner or a family member does not have to stay on site. Clear instructions about what to keep and a way to reach someone help the job go smoothly.
Tell the team about any closing, inspection or move-out date so the plan can fit it.
