I had quite a mess in my Los Angeles home from many years of neglect. I just couldn’t help it as i have a very rare and now seemingly trendy condition. What is this condition you might ask? Well it’s better known as being a Hoarder. In Los Angeles that can be a deterrent since so much of our times is spent being busy and on the go. being a Hoarder in Los Angeles is one of the hardest things for me to admit. When i hang out with my other actor friends they always want to come over to my place to practice our lines and i always have to make an excuse because of all the clutter, junk, trash that is hoarding in my apartment. I have many objects that i hoard like book hoarding, trash hoarding, even animal hoarding. I am done with being  a hoarder in Los Angeles and seriously need Los Angeles Hoarder Cleanup services to help me free myself from this condition. I have been seeing a therapist so hopefully this will help me out as well.

I tell ya, in Los Angeles getting Hoarder Cleanup can be a life changer and will help you clear out that clutter. getting rid of Hoarder cleanup is the best decision i ever made. I plan on starting my life all over again and never having my apartment being a hoarders paradise with trash and such.

So give a call to the great Junk Removal Services group and get your task done on time and under budget.

While removing an actual person from your property can be harder than it seems there are steps you can take to legally save yourself the hassle of having to evict a hoarder because of a foul smell or junk trash on your property. You can always write up a rental agreement that will only last for 6 months and see if the tenant will keep your property in good standing order. Whenever you are dealing with new tenants it is always best to do a background check and make sure that they are trouble free and left their previous lease on good terms. You can request contact details for tenants that have lived on another property before and give that property manager or supervisor a call to see what the situation for them leaving was. This is always a good idea to follow especially when you have a brand new property that has either just been remodeled or newly built.

Another option would be to take legal steps and get the city involved if the hoarder refuses to clean up their junk and get a junk removal company to help out. The city will usually not want to have properties that are not up to code visually and may be hazardous to the actual renter or the community at large. You can Google more steps online because really, i am out of ideas.

Hoarding is not a problem that should be ignored or written off as “being messy” or “being unusual”. Here are five warning signs:

1. Collecting Odd Items, Junk, and Trash 

If a person goes out of their way to collect items that are broken beyond repair, serve no real use, or that are simply trash is a very large warning sign that someone is hoarding. Dragging garbage out of a dumpster or off a curbside and bringing it into a house is not normal behavior for any person.

2. Inability to Throwaway Items

Throwing things away is part of our every day life. We throw away garbage, trash, and broken items every day. But a hoarder often times can’t throw anything away.  They’ll make excuses, “Oh I’ll fix that toaster.” They’ll rationalize, “But this food isn’t spoiled!” And a lot of times hoarders will simply refuse to throw anything away. 

3. Distancing Oneself from Friends and Family

Hoarders often feel great shame about their hoarding behavior. They are often so ashamed of their hoarding they refuse to let anyone into their homes. Frequently hoarders cut themselves off from friends and family. And they’ll also use every opportunity to avoid having visitors inside their homes.

4. Collecting Too Many Animals

Does a person have a lot of cats or dogs? Ten or twenty? Do they all seem cared for or do they seem left to fend for themselves? Animal collection or animal hoarding is a very serious sign of hoarding. Animal hoarding should be reported to your local animal control or ASPCA.

5. Parts of a Home Become Unusable  

Hoarders can fill up rooms and rooms with junk and trash. Are their parts of a house that have been rendered unlivable and un-passable by accumulation of junk? This is a sure sign that you are dealing with a hoarder who has a very advanced hoarding problem.

So what can you do to stop animal hoarding?

The biggest thing you can do to stop animal hoarding is to say something. If you find a relative or friend who is hoarding animals report them immediately to the local ASPCA and your city animal control. People are often reluctant to report animal hoarding because hoarders tend to cloak their sick behavior  with a veneer of love. “Oh, we’re running an animal rescue.” or “Well, if you call the ASPCA all these animals will be put to sleep!” 

Remember animal hoarding is cruel, far crueler than turning those same animals over to the ASPCA. Animal hoarding destroys lives and harms animals. Don’t be silent. Speak out and report animal hoarding today.

When I worked as a professional organizer for a junk removal service we were often called upon to do a storage unit clean out. More than once we would run into multiple units that had been rented by hoarders. More than once we encountered hoarders who were on the literal knife’s edge of destitution. They had spent their last cent on paying rent on storage units filled with junk. And even faced with the prospect of homelessness these hoarders would often struggle with parting with useless junk piled in storage bins.

Storage unit hoarding is hard to prevent and extremely hard to detect. Many hoarders use storage units to hide their hoarded junk so they don’t have to deal with the shame that comes from a junk filled home.  If you suspect that a friend or loved one is hoarding you should seek professional help for them. 

Hoarding is a compulsion to accumulate things. Often things of little or no value. Hoarders often have a difficult time parting with objects even though they don’t use them or don’t need them. Hoarding also causes significant stress and lead to delusional thinking about one’s possession.

While disorganization and “being messy” can be part of hoarding, being disorganized doesn’t  necessarily mean you suffer from hoarding.
