How do you clean a hoarder's house?

Can a landlord require hoarding cleanup?

Who pays for hoarding cleanup?
Most often the resident or the property owner pays, and family members sometimes share the cost. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some local aging services or housing agencies help in some places, so it is worth asking.
