Dead animal smell - is tenant or landlord responsible?
Tenant notified of a bad smell, like dead animal. Who is responsible for discovering what’s causing it & fixing the situation? If it’s the landlord’s responsibility, who do I call? Thanks in advance for responses!

I dont know.... I get a dead animal removal request every month it seems but after 5 days the smell just goes away...mother nature takes its course...
