Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.
Avoid calling their belongings trash, saying the home is disgusting or telling them to just throw things out. Never move items without asking. Ask what matters most to them, listen, and offer to help at their pace.
Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
Usually not for the buildup itself, since many policies exclude long-term conditions. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
Often a lease or local housing or fire rules allow a landlord to set a deadline for safety. A tenant rights group, a code office or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
Start with safety, then sort, remove and clean in that order. Exits and fire hazards come first, then spoiled food and unsafe items, then deep cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms. The resident decides what stays, and a cleanup team can handle the heavy parts.
