Hoarder House Cleaning: Your Questions, Answered for Bret Harte, CA
At what age does hoarding usually start?
There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.
What mental illness do most hoarders have?
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.
Will the resident get to keep their belongings?
Yes. The resident decides what stays, what is donated and what is removed. Valuables, documents, photos and medicine are set aside first, and nothing leaves the home without agreement.
What happens to the items that are removed?
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.
Can a landlord require hoarding cleanup?
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.
Does hoarding qualify as a disability?
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Whether it counts as a disability for housing or work depends on the situation and the law. A tenant rights group, a housing agency or an attorney can answer for a specific case.
