I have had mice problems since I have moved in here last year. The complex would send out pest control who would set out traps but this wouldn’t take care of the problems. Finally after I had gotten real rude and threatened to leave they sent out pest control who put poison down. This seems to have taken care of the problem so far but the thing is I am afraid that the mice will come back. My daughter is walking now and I don’t want to take a chance of her running into a mouse. When I first complained management told me that I was the only one who complained so it didn’t seem to be much of a problem. When I asked other tenants about mice they said that they had seen a few but they didn’t want to cause problems so they didn’t want to say anything. When I first complained and they ignored me I sent a certified letter to them to make sure that they had got the letter so I have evidence of my complaints (also letters from them addressing my problems) but they won’t let me leave.
When I moved in last year I didn’t have a choice because I was starting fresh as a single mother and I didn’t want my kids living in a shelter (Ihad just gotten out of an abusive relationship). Within the past year I have gotten on my feet and I am doing much better now. When I told them I wanted to move before I signed a new lease the manager said ok but then the new landlord told me that I didn’t get a good report from my current landlord so I didn’t get the new apartment. I work 8-10 hours a day which made it hard for me to look for new housing and when I asked the manager why I got a bad report I was told that they didn’t want me to leave because I was a good tenant and I paid my rent on time. She also said I had to sign a new lease or leave. I didn’t have much time left so I signed the lease.The complex has been under new management since about 3 weeks after I signed my lease and they told me that it doesn’t matter what the last manager said because she is no longer there.
LOL! I am scared of cats! My son has a frog and a turtle but I don’t think they will help. When I was in my co-workers apartment (who stays in the building right next to me) we saw one run across the floor. This was last week so that is why I am afraid the mice will come back. She said that she was told that since a field is behind us that the mice will always come from there. I will definitely call the health department if I see another one!
