Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle it 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.
They may cover the smell for a short time, but they do not reach fluids in padding or subfloor. Household products also leave the contamination behind. Source removal and professional treatment are what end the odor.
Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord.
