No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
