I'm Outta Here!!

A couple of days after I moved into my apartment, I noticed the roaches. I guess they were initially driven away by the smell of paint, but they began to return. This was the end of October 2006 and I started using boric acid in my cabinets and around the baseboards and by the end of November I was able to unpack my kitchen stuff. Everything went relatively well after that. I must admit that I was inspired to keep my kitchen spotless because of my fear of roaches. In January, I took a day off from work and was chilling in my living room when a little mouse suddenly ran back and forth across the room. I was terrified and reported it to the manager, who said that there was probably only the one mouse and that they would have someone come up and plug up the holes behind the cabinets, also they would put me on the list to receive new cabinets. I never received the cabinets but this proved to be the first of at least 10 incidents where I saw mice in my apartment. I guess I'll shorten this and say that after the mice, which were never properly addressed, I got 2 kittens and haven't seen any since. I told the first 3 managers (we're on the 4th in the 11 months that I've been here) that I was going to get cats and that I refused to pay any pet fees, since I was forced to get them to try to curb the mice in my apartment. After the mice I noticed the itchy red whelps that were showing up on my back, shoulders, arms, face and hands, They were just like mosquito bites, but it wasn't even summer and I hadn't been outside. During the past year I have become an expert on roaches, mice and bedbugs. I ordered some bedbug powder and spray from an online site and I have to strip my bed and my bedroom at least once a month to keep these little critters away. When I move at the end of October, I will not be taking my mattress and boxspring with me. Since the new managers have come, they have done a lot to make the common areas look more presentable. They have even put some kind of contraptions in the rear of the building which I think are to try to control the RATS that run around there at nighttime. They never did come into my place and remove the cabinets to plug up the holes as they said they would. I took everything out of my kitchen and came home to find that nothing had been done. But that's ok. I just paid my 11th rent payment. Only one month to go and this will be a bad experience left behind!! I wish I had seen this site before I moved in. I also hope that the few people who seem to enjoy living here continue to do so. I even hope that one day this will be a decent place to live. Right now it is not. Good luck to the tenants and the management. Peace!! OUT!!
