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.
Will the neighbors know?

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?
