A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
It depends on the cause and the property. Insurance is the first place to look. Without it, the owner, the estate or the family usually pays, and in a rental the lease and local law decide. Some cleanup teams offer payment plans.
Ask what the cleanup involves before anyone sets foot on your property.
