Yes. Landlords, property managers and employers can hire cleanup of a unit or workplace. The team works discreetly so other tenants or coworkers are protected. Ask what documentation you get with the work.
Will the neighbors know?
Crews work quietly and treat 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, not the cleanup crew.
