The odor is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can release particles when disturbed, so avoid sweeping or scrubbing it. Open a window if you can and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. In most other cases the owner of the home or the person arranging the cleanup pays.
