Foul smell from the unit

[Vinod Palle]

Hello BP,

We recently acquired a condo in Falls Church,VA area through court house for flipping.

The owner/occupant was a old lady did not move out after we purchase the unit.

While we are in legal process to get possession, i received a call from the HOA today that the neighbors of this unit observed a foul smell and called the police to see what is going on.

we are breaking the lock as soon police arrive and get into the property.

The smell could be from the leftover food or could be anything.

To prepare for a worst case, i am trying to understand how to deal with the situation and get some affordable master cleaner referrals.

Thank you,

Vinod.
