Questions Owners and Landlords in Yazoo City, MS Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup

How should I treat the person who kept the animals?

With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.

Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?

Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.

What is animal hoarding?

Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.

Will personal belongings and papers be saved?

Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.

Can a landlord require animal hoarding cleanup?

Often yes. A lease and local housing rules usually let a landlord require a safe, sanitary unit. A tenant rights group or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
