"Hoarding" is a mental disorder and a protected class Under the Fair Housing Act. As a landlord you must provide an accommodation by setting reasonable guidelines for the tenants to bring the rental units up to sanitary standards.
That means you must devise a plan of action along with the tenants to remedy the hoarding issue. If you fail to do so, that is a clear violation of the Fair Housing laws.

You need to acquaint yourself with what a reasonable accommodation is and how to apply it for hoarding.
Violations of Fair Housing Act can be into the tens of thousands of dollars and more, so if in doubt, you should contact a local service that can help you deal with the tenants hoarding.
