oh, for gawd's sake, where did you get that idea? I wasn't talking about " the amounts of junk that would fill a dumpster".
Actually, you were:

Old cars and piles of junk are not "silly"; they are major expenses when it comes to getting rid of them.

Exactly. Leaving cans of paint, strips of siding, and pieces of tile are one thing; non-functioning appliances, hazardous chemicals, junk cars, and piles of crap etc. are quite another.
The seller stays in the house that the buyer now owns. The seller has hundreds of thousands of dollars of the buyer's money with which he is paying rent. When he's gone and leaves the house in poor condition the buyer has to chase him down and litigate while spending more of his own money to clean and repair.
No thanks. I buy seller's house, seller GTFO by close of escrow.
Buyer can charge a cash "cleaning deposit" as part of the lease back portion of the contract. Any cleanup required can be paid from the cleaning deposit. So simple.
yeah my brother had that clean out job for a while and he called me one day and told me that some girl was dumping bags and bags of things out in the dumpster . i got clothes , jewelry and shoes out of that dumpster and kept some and gave some away . the things that girl threw away, a nice camera too with telephoto lens it was awesome . I still have the jewelry and the camera . So yeah i can understand why you all would fight over clean outs .LOL .
When I was leaving my apartment way back when, I left a bike by the dumpster. A truck came by and picked it up within 2 minutes. I guess people just drive around apartment dumpsters?
We looked at a 3 acre property that was filled with junk. The seller promised it would all be gone by closing, but since he hadn't even tidied the house for a showing, we figured he was overpromising.
We joked with the realtor that if we worded the contract well, we could probably charge him more for cleanup than we paid for the place. But we didn't make an offer.
