MICE HAVEN!!!!!!!!

From: encesar
Date posted: 2/4/2004
Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2004
 

I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 1 YEAR AND I AM PAST READY TO GO. THIS COMMUNITY IS CLEAN AND KEPT DECENTLY, PARKING IS AMPLE AND MAINTENANCE IS RESPONSIVE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO HAVE MICE RUN ACROSS YOUR LIVING ROOM FLOOR WHENEVER THEY WISH, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU.

SHORTLY AFTER MOVING IN HERE, WE REALIZED THERE WAS A MICE PROBLEM. WHEN WE CALLED TO COMPLAIN, AN EXTERMINATOR WAS SENT OUT WHO THREW STICKY PACKETS IN SOME CLOSETS. THE SITUATION GOT WORSE. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS AND ALWAYS GET THE SAME RESPONSE, THE EXTERMINATOR THROWS SOME MORE PACKETS IN AND HE LEAVES. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS DISGUSTING SITUATION. WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE K-BUILDING ABOUT IT AND LEARNED THEY ARE ALL DEALING WITH THE SAME THING. ONE TENANT REPORTED HER CAT CAUGHT 4 MICE IN THE PAST MONTH, HOW GROSS IS THAT'''''''''''''''

WHAT'S THE WORST PART ABOUT IT' MANAGEMENT CLAIMED THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I PREVIOUSLY WROTE A REVIEW HERE ABOUT THE MICE BUT WAS CONVINCED BY THE MANAGER TO REMOVE IT AS SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATION. WELL, IT'S BEEN WEEKS SINCE SHE HAS KNOWN AND GUESS WHAT WAS DONE' THE EXTERMINATOR WAS SENT OUT. SURPRISE. SURPRISE. WE HELD A MINI TENANT MEETING IN THE BUILDING AND WE LEARNED THAT THEY ARE SO MUCH AWARE, THEY OFFERRED ANOTHER TENANT TO TRADE HIM APARTMENTS!!!! TO LIE IS TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY.

THE THOUGHTS OF MY YOUNG 16-MTH OLD DAUGHTER PICKING UP MICE DROPPINGS AS SHE PLAYS FREAKS ME OUT! THOUGH WE ARE PAID TILL THE END OF OUR LEASE, WE ARE ABANDONING THIS MICE-FILLED SHIP AND GOING ELSEWHERE.

THINK IT THROUGH BEFORE COMING HERE. DON'T LET THE OUTSIDE CLEANLINESS FOOL YOU AS IT DID US.
