Yes. Cleaners treat seats, carpet, headliners, vents and the cabin air path. Airing out alone often does not remove the residue, so burning may return when the vehicle heats up.
Tell the landlord or property manager right away. The lease and local law decide who pays. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
Private help from the first call to the final inspection.
