Hoarders and what's NOT a hoarder.
So, bought a place that has a hoarder. Because they are on housing assistance, we want to give them a chance to clean up before we evict them. Yes, I know they probably won't and how I handle that is not the subject. I'm looking for some guidelines: if you had a hoarder and they sincerely wanted to mend their ways, what would your expectations be? What can I put in a letter to explain to them what I would need to see to make me believe they have repented from their hoarding addiction?
At this point, they have an 18" path through the unit for walking. It doesn't smell (miraculously), and while I have little faith that they'll meet guidelines, I do need to articulate some guidelines for them to fail.
So, what would you tell them they have to do?
Thanks!
