surveyor: “One mouse does not an infestation make…”
Surveyor, it’s more than one mice. It’s a whole family. I’m sure of that. They have left droppings all over my belongings in the garage. I have personally seen more than one.
“If an infestation degrades your rental to the degree that it makes living there a hazard, then perhaps your landlord should call an exterminator and he will take care of the problem.
Otherwise, it is a maintenance problem that is borne by the tenant. Put out a few mouse traps and have your son check them.”
Ok, that’s what I asked in my post. In light of the fact that I keep my place clean with no food in the garage, what could I have done to cause this surveyor? I would like to know what I did to draw the mice.
“I’m a nicer landlord than most and I would probably go and place a few traps for you, but even I would roll my eyes up at such a request.”
You know what, I’m thinking this site was a bad place to ask because those of you who are landlords care first and foremost about your bottomline: How much you can PROFIT. Translation: you’re GREEDY.
