Often yes. A lease and local housing rules usually let a landlord require a safe, sanitary unit. A tenant rights group or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
Can the odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.

A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
