Fewer older residents in Copiague live alone, about 22%, yet a death can still go unnoticed when someone lives apart from family or has few visitors. Only about 20% of homes in Copiague are rented, so most calls come from families, owners and estates handling their own property.

A typical unattended death cleanup job includes:

  • Final inspection of the cleaned area before it is handed back
  • Discreet scheduling around the family, the landlord and other tenants
  • Sorting of personal property and keepsakes for return to the family
  • Odor removal and air treatment in rooms, vents and nearby areas

Who pays when a tenant dies in a rental?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup 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.

Does homeowners insurance cover unattended death cleanup?

Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
