As a renter, the good times just keep on rolling…

[admin]

There is probably more than one mouse living in my garage and I’m pretty pissed. I first noticed a mouse was in my garage a few months back when I saw it’s disgusting droppings on our boxes of stuff. Eew! Anyway, then I saw one run out while me and my son were utilizing our storage. Ok, so we set some traps and we caught one. It was small-Thank God. So, I thought ok, maybe no more problems. Then I go in my garage today and saw one.

Ok, I talked to the owner in Oct. and told him there are mice in my garage. I explained to him that we don’t have a lot of junk in our garage and it is clean. We have stuff neatly packed in newer boxes. We don’t eat in there, we don’t live in there, we don’t entertain in there. One time I left an empty Starbuck’s frappachino cup in there, but that’s about it. No food. We’ve never eaten in there.

So, how in the f*ck did a mouse/mice get in my garage??

Now, the deviant next door neighbors have had trash stacked on the side of their house, outside of their trash cans at times. Not all the time, but more than I would think is acceptable to the homeowner’s association. I would guess the damn mice came from them.

Ok, so I asked the owner to get rid of them. He says no because according to him, they are field mice and they are just “around”. He told me to take care of it myself.

I’m thinking maybe there’s a crack/hole in the garage foundation? whose fault is it? Is the owner responsible? If so, I’m going to demand he do something about this. I rent in an upscale community, I see no reason I should have to put up with this. If he refuses to fix this, I’m so done with this place. I know some of you on here own rental property, so does the owner have to fix this??

[HLS]

Are you kidding ? it’s in the GARAGE!!
What did the LL do wrong ?

Where I live, there are spiders, mice, rats, bats, coyotes, snakes, ants, hummingbirds, orioles, hawks and an occasional mountain lion in the ‘hood
The species were all here before the house was built.

Only the critters with good taste (or an education) want to live in an upscale community.

I’ve been a landlord for about 25 years. I would tell you to get some traps. The mice were probably in the area before you moved in.

Do you realize how much your landlord is probably losing every month by renting to you ?
I’m a better landlord than most, but won’t put up with “demanding” tenants.

If you want to hire an exterminator, they will set traps or spray and when the critters return they will charge you to do it again.

If you OWNED the house, do you think that a mouse wouldn’t appear ? You going to complain to the lender and demand they get rid of it or you are outta there ?

“OMG” huh?..

OMG my ass. Yeah, you’ve been a landlord for 25 years…I bet. As a landlord, you just don’t want to get up off the money and do it yourself…therein lies your sympathy with my landlord.

A decent landlord would have an exterminator come out.

I am a woman. I don’t like things with whiskers and pointy, long tails. Understand. Thank God my son is 6 feet (only 15 years old too); I guess I did something right. Anyway, the only way I’ll go in the garage now is if he’s with me.

I can’t abide greedy, stingy landlords. One reason why I’m sick of renting.

If I owned property and rented it out, I would do something if one of my renters had a problem like this. It’s the decent thing to do.

This topic is insane! Did you not begin posting here a few weeks ago and admit that you have not been paying the rent for the past few months and also that you couldnt even afford to pay the rent you owed because you spent it all and have no savings or job or child support or alimony or whatever.

This is incorrect and besides the point. I am paying my rent. I do have a job, just not in my field yet and I do receive alimony and child support even though my ex tried to get it lowered.

I did stop paying him for a few months, but we have set up a payment arrangement. Don’t act like the owner isn’t responsible for that, he let his home go into foreclosure without telling me. I was harassed for months by phone calls from his mother demanding I send HER the money instead. That alone is worth me withholding rent.

But, again we have payment arrangements in place; before that I paid my rent on time for over 2 years, therefore it’s a non-issue in terms of his responsibility to make sure the dwelling I am renting is pest-free.

HLS: “If you want to hire an exterminator, they will set traps or spray and when the critters return they will charge you to do it again.”

Ok…then let my landlord dig in his pocket and pay them again. If it’s a two-step process to get rid of the mice so be it. I deserve to live somewhere pest-free.

HLS: “If you OWNED the house, do you think that a mouse wouldn’t appear ? You going to complain to the lender and demand they get rid of it or you are outta there ?”

If I OWNED the house, I would be responsible for paying for the exterminators myself. Since I don’t, I was asking if the “OWNER” is responsible to fix this problem.

And I have no idea why a mouse appeared. Like I said, I don’t eat or keep an unkempt garage. The nice neighbors across the street have a messy somewhat dirty garage and they keep it open often. Her husband does furniture refinishing in there and her children play in there. I don’t think there are problems with rodents in her garage. If there were, I don’t think she would let her children play in there.

That’s why I mentioned the posibility of my garage containing a hole in the foundation somewhere. If so, are you telling me it’s my responsibility to fix that too? Wouldn’t a decent owner hire someone to come out and check for that since there is a problem??

You have got to be the tenant from hell. Good luck buying a house soon as you mentioned in an earlier post. I still cant see how you plan to purchase anything with no job, no money, and probably poor credit as well.

[scaredyclassic]

we had rats in the ceiling. they had got throught he roof. I set some traps and caught 3. There was still at least one when we moved. I billed the owner for the traps (less than 10 dollars). This person isn’t being that unreasonable. The owner should want to get the varmints out of the house not because he particularly cares about the renter but because of all the damage the varmints can do to the house. I dont think i was the tenant from hell for charging for the traps. I footed the bill for the bait. Bleu Cheese. Recommend it highly.

Publicdefender, thanks. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable either. With the rodents running around, I’m scared to use my garage. I’m a woman. We don’t like rodents. Remember? 😉

Anyway, I have already tried the traps. I’d like to see an exterminator come out. I talked to one company and they said they use “boxes” and come out until the mice are gone.
That’s what I’d like to see. If the owner cannot afford it, he cannot afford the property. We are not talking about thousands of dollars here. It all comes down to greed, doesn’t it? I could see if I kept a dirty, filthy garage, but I don’t. So, I don’t see how I caused the problem.

I can’t believe you’re honestly asking this question. Do you want the landlord to wipe your ass for you too? Ok, that one was probably over the top, but my point is the landlord isn’t responsible for any little imperfection in your home. Just like you would feel ill-used if you left a spot in the oven when you left and he kept your security deposit.

I used to rent a place in Lemon grove when I was a resident. During my four years there I trapped 38 mice in my kitchen, and would never have dreamed of calling the landlord thinking it was HIS responsibility.

Marion, it’s not my habit to flame post anyone, but I get a sense from your postings that you are a particularly entitled person.

You’ve left the doors open too long.

Set some traps and get rid of them.

Or call the landlord again, he’ll have an exterminator come and then bill you when the exterminator says to keep the doors closed.

One mouse does not an infestation make…

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.

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.

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.

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.

A mouse in the garage – how AWFUL for you! The next thing you know, there’ll be a fly in the kitchen and maybe even a skunk in the back yard! Better move to a more “upscale” neighborhood…

Oh, except that I get mice in my laundry room in Mission Hills from time to time…no food out there either, I think it’s just shelter from the rain/elements. Go figure, little critters like/enjoy that, too.

Taz, dearest…Perhaps you like the little critters in your garage. You all can dance around and then you can have a tea party together and serve them cheese and crackers…Yum!

I, however, don’t like mice in my garage. As I have already made an attempt to get rid of them, I think it now rests on the landlord.

Here’s what it says from Find Law:

“Landlords Must Fix Major Problems

Your landlord is responsible for keeping your unit in a habitable, or livable, condition. The landlord must keep the structure of the building sound, including stairways, floors, and roofs; keep electrical, heating, and plumbing systems operating safely; supply hot and cold water in reasonable amounts; and exterminate infestations of pests such as cockroaches.

Keep in mind, however, that if a problem is the result of your own carelessness — such as a vermin infestation caused by your poor housekeeping — the repair bill will properly be forwarded to you. If you don’t pay it, the amount may be taken out of your security deposit.”

So the question is, is a small family of mice in a garage considered a major problem that degrades the habitability of the rental unit. MOST LANDLORDS / PROPERTY MANAGERS WOULD SAY NO. As a minor problem, it would be your responsibility to fix it.

Now if you disagree with that, you can tell your landlord and stress to him that you have kept the place clean, you don’t eat out there, but you are worried that this might grow into something bigger. Maybe it will spread to the kitchen or something (where it would be definitely the landlord’s problem). You can also mention to him that you have placed traps out there and that the mice still seem to be there. Still, considering what problems you’ve been having with the landlord and the paying the rent to the mother and whatnot, I can’t imagine that he’d be that enthused to go there and fix the problem right away. Still, if you phrase the argument this way (and maybe send it to them in writing), you will at least have recourse.

Let me tell you something about landlords – they work very hard and actually do not make a lot of money. They have no problem making MAJOR repairs that cost a lot. It’s the hassle that they don’t like. If it’s a minor problem that can be easily taken care of, they don’t like being called in to do it. It ranks really low on their priority list. But if they see you trying and doing something about it, then they’ll respect you for it and treat you well (at least the good landlords will).

As for being greedy landlords, for every greedy landlord out there, I can name at least 10 who have been screwed over by their tenants. =shrug= But landlords don’t get to complain because they own property.

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

The mistake you made was to have a warm place away from the elements. Mice typically move indoors during the winter. It’s not a food thing.

[blue_sky]

From http://fairhousingoc.org/landlord.html

Q. Is a landlord obligated to make repairs in a rental unit?


A. The California Civil Code, section 1941, makes a landlord responsible for maintaining a rental unit in livable condition, unless the tenant caused the damage.


Q. What is a livable (tenantable) condition?


A. A rental unity is NOT livable if it substantially lacks any of the following:
– Roof, walls and windows that do not leak
– Working plumbing or gas facilities
– Water supply of hot and cold running water connected to a sewage disposal system
– Heating system that works
– Electrical lighting and wiring in working order
– Building and grounds kept clean, sanitary, and free from garbage, rodents, and vermin
– Adequate number of garbage cans or dumpsters in good repair
– Floors, stairways and railing in good repair

While I’m not sure your mice are enough to get over the hurdle of ‘substantially lacking’, you could drop ‘Section 1941 violation’ in your next conversation and see what happens.

[drunkle]

you should try to take care of it yourself first. simply because the landlord may decide to raise your rent in exchange for fixing the problem.

[pbnative]

Seems obvious… call an exterminator! Usually the evaluation is free. They’ll tell you what you can do to prevent/fix the problem, and you can take that info to your landlord if you think there is something specific he is responsible for.

Or, get a homicidal cat.

[Bugs]

There’s no such thing as a property that is immune from the occasional pest. Urban – suburban – rural, we live in and share our environment with critters, bugs and thingies of all types. They can wiggle through the smallest of openings, too. There’s no such thing as a house that is secure from the local critters.

If a wasp flew into your home you wouldn’t haul the landlord out to get it, would you? I hope not.

Buy some traps, set them out in likely hidey places – like where you’re seeing the droppings, and double down on your efforts to deny them a food source. This will all be over in the next week, two at the most.

Your other alternative is to be nicer to the men in your life – maybe you can get one of them to do it for you in exchange for……cookies. Yeah, cookies. Men will do most anything for a woman who puts out cookies.

BTW, it’s not too early for your 15-year old to learn how to be the man of his house. He’d probably work for cookies, too.

sdrealtor: “I was wondering why the mice keep knocking on my door looking for cookies and slurpees.”

Sd, since I love to bake homemade cookies you may be on to something…

I could dress up as Minnie Mouse, and take a platter of freshly baked cookies to the mice. It would go something like this:

Marion: “excuse me. excuse me. Mr. Mouse, I’m scared of you, so would you kindly take your family and leave if I give you these nice cookies?”

I wonder if they like gingerbread…

[Allan from Fallbrook]

marion: Uh, I think SDR was implying your lad might be partaking of the wacky tobacky. Being 15 and all, there is a distinct possibility he is… And, quality reefer does attract the rodents, both the two and four legged varieties.

Not that I would know from first-hand experience, but one hears stories.

[Anonymous]

Allen, no way in hell would my son be smoking pot. He’s an innocent one. Of that, I’m sure. The day he ever did, I’d probably jump off a building. We don’t tolerate that in my family.

Novice, thanks for the paperbag tip. I can use that if I use the traps that pop ’em in half.

well, someone tell me if they bleed from the stomach if you use poison. That would be a horrible sight.

[novice1027]

They bleed from everywhere. The poison is Coumadin a blood thinner given to people. When they eat the poison they are in search of water, so you will always find them close to a water source. Sound like an expert? I am, I had an awful winter experience some years back, and at one point they were jumping out of my toaster and my stove in the middle of the daylight. My house is very clean has nothing to do with that. Once they come in from the elements, they are your new roommates! YIKES, I have poison traps in every square inch of my house downstairs and garage.
Usually they just curl up and die in a corner,but sometimes you have the unfortunate experience of seeing them in their death throws, still better than screaming for dear life.
Now that I think about it, I have more rodents stories than one would care to mention, I could possibly start a new thread, lol!!

[EconProf]

BobS
Somehow I doubt many male tenants would complain to their landlords about mice in the garage. They would deal with it themselves.
Marion, you are hurting your gender in the rental marketplace. Landlords have to make objective and subjective calls all the time in deciding on tenants…and your whining has been noted by a lot of owners.

[NotCranky]

Marion, I have a few extra rattle snakes around my property . I am sure one would take care of your problem.No bleeding mice.

rustico: “Marion, I have a few extra rattle snakes around my property . I am sure one would take care of your problem.No bleeding mice.”

Oh, geez. Mice AND snakes. (rolling eyes…) What a nice garage I’d have then.

🙂

[cooperthedog]

OK, this post is completely inane…

If you want your rat/mouse problem solved in a bloodless & humane manner, buy a ratzapper (ratzapper.com).

I also had a problem in the garage, and this device was great. It is a plastic chamber about the size of a loaf of bread, with a metal plate in the back. Put some dog food in, rat walks inside, steps on plate and is electrocuted almost instantly. There is a light on the top which will blink if tripped, so you can just look in the garage periodically to see if it worked. Disposal of dead rat is clean and simple, just pick up the device and empty into the trash. You will never have to touch a rodent, so you could take care of this yourself, while your son is “blazing” through his homework…

Another note, coumadin (warafin) was originally developed as rat poison. It is given in low doses to humans as a blood thinner – so if you ever have to take it to bust up a blood clot, you can indirectly thank a rat!

[Anonymous]

pbnative, you’re right on both counts buddy: I don’t wanna know you, Buddy. Also, you might wanna lay off the cheap, arm-chair psychoanalysis. It sounds pretty silly.

Cats smell horrible and they’re revengeful creatures. I’ve always preferred “man’s best friend”.

Cooper, the contraption you speak of sounds interesting. It sounds like a clean, no-nonsense method of getting rid of these disgusting creatures. Why the dog food though? I always thought mice would prefer something like peanut butter.

Since you don’t like cats, consider a rat terrier dog. They were bred to kill rodents, I believe.

Even though Persians aren’t known for their hunting skills, my two still manage to ensure that I have never had any mice or other rodent problems in my house.

Actually, dogs are much better judges of character. Hands down.

Cats, well…They’re lazy, sneaky, and again, tend to smell bad.

However, they are excellent for overweight women who are too lazy to walk a dog…

My neighbor has a couple just for that reason.

I like the exercise a dog provides, even though I get plenty of that.

Marion –

Since we are anthropomorphizing cats and dogs, one could make the argument that cats are generally “b!tches” and that they don’t interact well with their kind, yet you are getting into some catfights with the other ladies on this board, but you are a dog (person)…

So, Marion, which is it – are you a b!tch or a dog?

Sorry – I couldn’t resist, but your recent posts have taken on a mean spirit…

Also, if you’re looking to utilize this forum as a dating service, just cut to the chase and list your bio vs. dropping the (not so) subtle hints of being in shape, loving exercise, having soft skin, etc.

[Anonymous]

cooperthedog: “So, Marion, which is it – are you a b!tch or a dog?”

Cooper, I would ask that about your significant other, but I already know the answer.

She’s a bitch.

P.S. so is the woman who gave birth to you.

You’re filth.

[cooperthedog]

Marion –

Judging from your well crafted and witty response, I think I really hit pay dirt!

Hopefully you will take a moment and reflect on how YOU feel when being personally attacked, and refrain from doing so to others in the future.

In addition, I AM a dog – “cooperthedog” to be exact – so my significant other would naturally be a b!tch, as well as any woman who raised me… and, since I’m a dog, and by your own “logic”, such a good judge of character, I can say your recent behaviour is lacking…

Thus endeth the meeting of fat cat lovers anonymous. I would like to thank everyone for their participation, whether you are fat or not, whether you have a cat or not.

OMG

LOL

Please make it stop.

CBad, no, I’m not obsessed with weight, I’ve been this size my entire life and have never had to diet. I’m not lazy either and I would say that helps too.

May I ask why you felt the need to “inform” the board that you are less than a size 6?

I don’t have a cat or a dog (but like both) and I don’t eat ice cream. You’re really desperately barking up the wrong tree on this one. There’s no doubt in my mind that I easily underweigh you because as you so frequently share your entire personal life with this board, we all know you are a size 6. I was under a size 6 full term pregnant with twins.

It’s sad, but if a woman wears a size 6 or below, she can’t post that kind of information on a board with women who may not be as fortunate…The claws will come out every time. Unfortunate but true. It beats me why some women have such a difficult time keeping the weight off it this is what all this jealousy is about. However, my size 6 dress size has been mentioned much too often on here for me to think otherwise.

I’ve never had the “hand-to-mouth” disease and I can sit up and eat chocolate cake every day and never gain weight. To a lot of women on here, that info is gonna sting.

Instead of throwing your money away on Jenny Craig, you’re gonna have to bite the bullet and throw out the ice cream I’m afraid…

Marion,

Just so you know, Rich has already banned one “provocative” regular who crossed the line of decorum one time too many. I will agree with you that there’s been an embarrasing display of piling on, but I’ve been around here long enough to know that these people are not vicious by nature.

You have invited the initial derision via the comments you make and the enthusiasm you display in disagreeing with others. You have been an active participant in the escalation of hostilities that has ensued. Even now you are attempting to get the last word in with me, and I haven’t been swapping insults with you.

Surely you have more productive ways to use your time and energy than to swap insults with strangers on an internet forum. In your place I would just walk away and let it go. If someone else comes back to take another potshot at you then your refusal to entertain further hostilities will just leave them hanging.

Sooner or later someone has to be the adult. JMO.

Since we are anthropomorphizing cats and dogs, one could make the argument that cats are generally “b!tches” and that they don’t interact well with their kind, yet you are getting into some catfights with the other ladies on this board, but you are a dog (person)…

So, Marion, which is it – are you a b!tch or a dog?

Sorry – I couldn’t resist, but your recent posts have taken on a mean spirit…

Also, if you’re looking to utilize this forum as a dating service, just cut to the chase and list your bio vs. dropping the (not so) subtle hints of being in shape, loving exercise, having soft skin, etc.

Marion –

Since we are anthropomorphizing cats and dogs, one could make the argument that cats are generally “b!tches” and that they don’t interact well with their kind, yet you are getting into some catfights with the other ladies on this board, but you are a dog (person)…

marion you are SO predictable…arguing your point by attacking me and claiming I’m fat…

but as usual you only embarrass yourself…’cause I don’t like ice cream but I do like to RUN and I’m pretty sure I’d beat you to the finish line in the slim chance I run into to you at any local road races…

it’s been fun marion, but goodbye, i’m done wasting my time w/you…

Taz, yeah, you’re reclining on the couch scraping the bottom of the half-gallon of ice cream, your waist is growing thicker and thicker…your husband comes in and shoots you a stern look, but the cat will not bother you at all. Most importantly, said cat won’t bother your ice cream.

So, yeah, CATS. What’s not to love?…

You don’t have to walk him, you don’t have to give him a bath, you don’t have to exercise him, just easy, easy, easy…

Actually, dogs are much better judges of character. Hands down.

Cats, well…They’re lazy, sneaky, and again, tend to smell bad.

However, they are excellent for overweight women who are too lazy to walk a dog…

My neighbor has a couple just for that reason.

I like the exercise a dog provides, even though I get plenty of that.

pbnative, you’re right on both counts buddy: I don’t wanna know you, Buddy. Also, you might wanna lay off the cheap, arm-chair psychoanalysis. It sounds pretty silly.

Cats smell horrible and they’re revengeful creatures. I’ve always preferred “man’s best friend”.

Cooper, the contraption you speak of sounds interesting. It sounds like a clean, no-nonsense method of getting rid of these disgusting creatures. Why the dog food though? I always thought mice would prefer something like peanut butter.

OK, this post is completely inane…

If you want your rat/mouse problem solved in a bloodless & humane manner, buy a ratzapper (ratzapper.com).

I also had a problem in the garage, and this device was great. It is a plastic chamber about the size of a loaf of bread, with a metal plate in the back. Put some dog food in, rat walks inside, steps on plate and is electrocuted almost instantly. There is a light on the top which will blink if tripped, so you can just look in the garage periodically to see if it worked. Disposal of dead rat is clean and simple, just pick up the device and empty into the trash. You will never have to touch a rodent, so you could take care of this yourself, while your son is “blazing” through his homework…

Another note, coumadin (warafin) was originally developed as rat poison. It is given in low doses to humans as a blood thinner – so if you ever have to take it to bust up a blood clot, you can indirectly thank a rat!

They bleed from everywhere. The poison is Coumadin a blood thinner given to people. When they eat the poison they are in search of water, so you will always find them close to a water source. Sound like an expert? I am, I had an awful winter experience some years back, and at one point they were jumping out of my toaster and my stove in the middle of the daylight. My house is very clean has nothing to do with that. Once they come in from the elements, they are your new roommates! YIKES, I have poison traps in every square inch of my house downstairs and garage.
Usually they just curl up and die in a corner,but sometimes you have the unfortunate experience of seeing them in their death throws, still better than screaming for dear life.
Now that I think about it, I have more rodents stories than one would care to mention, I could possibly start a new thread, lol!!

I can’t believe you’re honestly asking this question. Do you want the landlord to wipe your ass for you too? Ok, that one was probably over the top, but my point is the landlord isn’t responsible for any little imperfection in your home. Just like you would feel ill-used if you left a spot in the oven when you left and he kept your security deposit.

Navydoc your remarks were rude and unacceptable for someone posting as a Navy physician. I certainly hope you treat your patients with more respect. I’m curious, what is your specialty? I think the renter is expecting too much in this case too but what do your degrading comments do to help the situation?

[Navydoc]

You’re right, it was rude and I try not to do that, but for some reason this post caught me as way too unrealistic. I have identified my specialty before, I’m an obstetrician, and I typically have a great deal of patience with women in pain.

As far as unacceptable, it is a (fairly) anonymous blog, unacceptable comments DO occaisionally occur in the spirit of the moment. I’ll behave.

As far as unacceptable, it is a (fairly) anonymous blog, unacceptable comments DO occaisionally occur in the spirit of the moment. I’ll behave.

I can’t believe you’re honestly asking this question. Do you want the landlord to wipe your ass for you too? Ok, that one was probably over the top, but my point is the landlord isn’t responsible for any little imperfection in your home. Just like you would feel ill-used if you left a spot in the oven when you left and he kept your security deposit.

Navydoc your remarks were rude and unacceptable for someone posting as a Navy physician. I certainly hope you treat your patients with more respect. I’m curious, what is your specialty? I think the renter is expecting too much in this case too but what do your degrading comments do to help the situation?

BTW, it’s not too early for your 15-year old to learn how to be the man of his house. He’d probably work for cookies, too.

Wait, there’s a 15-year old in the house. That explains it. Everyone knows that mice are attracted to pot. The kid probably has a stash somewhere in the garage.

There’s no such thing as a property that is immune from the occasional pest. Urban – suburban – rural, we live in and share our environment with critters, bugs and thingies of all types. They can wiggle through the smallest of openings, too. There’s no such thing as a house that is secure from the local critters.

If a wasp flew into your home you wouldn’t haul the landlord out to get it, would you? I hope not.

Buy some traps, set them out in likely hidey places – like where you’re seeing the droppings, and double down on your efforts to deny them a food source. This will all be over in the next week, two at the most.

Your other alternative is to be nicer to the men in your life – maybe you can get one of them to do it for you in exchange for……cookies. Yeah, cookies. Men will do most anything for a woman who puts out cookies.

Seems obvious… call an exterminator! Usually the evaluation is free. They’ll tell you what you can do to prevent/fix the problem, and you can take that info to your landlord if you think there is something specific he is responsible for.

Or, get a homicidal cat.

Q. Is a landlord obligated to make repairs in a rental unit?


A. The California Civil Code, section 1941, makes a landlord responsible for maintaining a rental unit in livable condition, unless the tenant caused the damage.


Q. What is a livable (tenantable) condition?


A. A rental unity is NOT livable if it substantially lacks any of the following:
– Roof, walls and windows that do not leak
– Working plumbing or gas facilities
– Water supply of hot and cold running water connected to a sewage disposal system
– Heating system that works
– Electrical lighting and wiring in working order
– Building and grounds kept clean, sanitary, and free from garbage, rodents, and vermin
– Adequate number of garbage cans or dumpsters in good repair
– Floors, stairways and railing in good repair

While I’m not sure your mice are enough to get over the hurdle of ‘substantially lacking’, you could drop ‘Section 1941 violation’ in your next conversation and see what happens.

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

The mistake you made was to have a warm place away from the elements. Mice typically move indoors during the winter. It’s not a food thing.

“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.”

HLS: “If you want to hire an exterminator, they will set traps or spray and when the critters return they will charge you to do it again.”

Ok…then let my landlord dig in his pocket and pay them again. If it’s a two-step process to get rid of the mice so be it. I deserve to live somewhere pest-free.

HLS: “If you OWNED the house, do you think that a mouse wouldn’t appear ? You going to complain to the lender and demand they get rid of it or you are outta there ?”

If I OWNED the house, I would be responsible for paying for the exterminators myself. Since I don’t, I was asking if the “OWNER” is responsible to fix this problem.

And I have no idea why a mouse appeared. Like I said, I don’t eat or keep an unkempt garage. The nice neighbors across the street have a messy somewhat dirty garage and they keep it open often. Her husband does furniture refinishing in there and her children play in there. I don’t think there are problems with rodents in her garage. If there were, I don’t think she would let her children play in there.

That’s why I mentioned the posibility of my garage containing a hole in the foundation somewhere. If so, are you telling me it’s my responsibility to fix that too? Wouldn’t a decent owner hire someone to come out and check for that since there is a problem??

Are you kidding ? it’s in the GARAGE!!
What did the LL do wrong ?

Where I live, there are spiders, mice, rats, bats, coyotes, snakes, ants, hummingbirds, orioles, hawks and an occasional mountain lion in the ‘hood
The species were all here before the house was built.

Only the critters with good taste (or an education) want to live in an upscale community.

I’ve been a landlord for about 25 years. I would tell you to get some traps. The mice were probably in the area before you moved in.

Do you realize how much your landlord is probably losing every month by renting to you ?
I’m a better landlord than most, but won’t put up with “demanding” tenants.

If you want to hire an exterminator, they will set traps or spray and when the critters return they will charge you to do it again.

If you OWNED the house, do you think that a mouse wouldn’t appear ? You going to complain to the lender and demand they get rid of it or you are outta there ?

Marion,

You certainly are a lightning rod for conversation. Whether intentional or not (and I think not), your posts and comments get responses. Perhaps its the feminine advantage (or disadvantage as this board is dominated by males), but you take everything in stride and have thick skin (probably softer than most of ours).

I too was pretty put off by Navydoc’s comments. As an Air Force officer, I think all military officers try to carry ourselves a little more professionally than that. That stuff flies with the sailors and airmen when we’re out at sea or deployed, but we should probably leave it there too.

I had a mouse problem in a brand new house in Colorado a few years ago. Just kept trapping the little buggers (I was an owner then). I had two raccoons in my garage the other night eating our dog food…they scurried off when they saw me. In no hurry mind you, just kind of trotted away.

[Allan from Fallbrook]

Trojan4Life: Air Force officer? Man, I hope you weren’t a jet jock! You guys used to drop bombs on us all the time! Besides everyone knows that the Army officer corps is the backbone of this fine nation. Now that I have the propaganda out of the way, I’d like to get back to the rodent/vermin infestation issue.

When I was a kid, we had a big Rottie named Thor. Thor would routinely frag cats, squirrels, rabbits and other small, furry woodland creatures. I bring this up because I had the thankless task of cleaning up after he was done. Set some traps, and have Junior do cleanup after the traps have triggered. You don’t have to deal with the unsightly issue of dead vermin, and your 15 year old learns to cowboy up and be a man.

marion, marion, first get some valerian

then get a tin cat from the hardware store – you can catch them live and have your son take them to the field. He probably likes rodents like most kids. Or get a cat to control the mice. If your neighbors are pack rats you could report the problem to the health dept. good luck

If you don’t have pets or young children, you can use rat poisen/pellets. It works better then traps, but you might still have to remove the dead mice. Put the poisen or traps in places where you’ve seen mice droppings. If you see obvious holes in house that need to be sealed you can request that you landlord take care of the problem.

Records clerk, thanks. One reason I wanted the owner to take care of the problem was so he could check for holes. I don’t see where that’s so unreasonable to so many who have replied.

Blue sky, thanks for that info. I’m going to take that to the owner.

I could have my son set out some traps. As I said, we tried the ones that smash them in half, but maybe we didn’t put out enough of them. I thought they were gone. We used the peanut butter like the directions stated.

Now, I’m wondering about the poison traps. Someone said that it’s really nasty because the mice bleed from being poisoned. Is this true?

paramount, I’m a lot of things…

I can’t get cat. I HATE cats. I wonder if a dog would do the trick…won’t be getting a dog for awhile though.

I can’t get cat. I HATE cats. I wonder if a dog would do the trick…

I’ve read marion’s other posts, and I’ve always thought ‘chic seems to have control issues.’ Completely separate of this, I have always thought that people who dislike cats have control issues. I’m feeling so… insightful! Luckily marion doesn’t know me and could not possibly care less what I think.

My rottie let possums and racoons come into the house, so I wouldn’t rely on getting a dog like Thor. Of course some cats aren’t hunters either. But I’ve always had cats and never had rodents in the house, even though there are plenty in the neighborhood (lots of growth around).

BTW, La Jolla is the definition of upscale, and is supposed to be rat-central. Lots of foliage for nesting, maybe? And gourmet trash?

I’ve trapped 3 rats in my La Jolla Shores patio in the past 6 months. (By far the most prolific trapping season I’ve ever had) They were eating tomatoes right off the plants in my garden. I’ll bet they’ve found their way into the garage on occasion as well.

I’ve lived in SD area for over 10 years and never lived more than 7 blocks to the ocean- from Mission Beach to Encinitas and we’ve always seen the occasional rat or mouse nosing around the outside of the house, garden, under the deck… This year there seem to be more than usual, don’t know if there’s something with the weather or what….

We keep a clean place and only 1 time (8 yrs ago) have had one inside the house. I just chalk it up to the price of living in paradise and(to keep remotely on topic) my wife and I would never dream of calling the landlord for a rodent every few years…

I’ve trapped 3 rats in my La Jolla Shores patio in the past 6 months. (By far the most prolific trapping season I’ve ever had) They were eating tomatoes right off the plants in my garden. I’ll bet they’ve found their way into the garage on occasion as well.

I’ve lived in SD area for over 10 years and never lived more than 7 blocks to the ocean- from Mission Beach to Encinitas and we’ve always seen the occasional rat or mouse nosing around the outside of the house, garden, under the deck… This year there seem to be more than usual, don’t know if there’s something with the weather or what….

We keep a clean place and only 1 time (8 yrs ago) have had one inside the house. I just chalk it up to the price of living in paradise and(to keep remotely on topic) my wife and I would never dream of calling the landlord for a rodent every few years…

I can’t get cat. I HATE cats. I wonder if a dog would do the trick…

I’ve read marion’s other posts, and I’ve always thought ‘chic seems to have control issues.’ Completely separate of this, I have always thought that people who dislike cats have control issues. I’m feeling so… insightful! Luckily marion doesn’t know me and could not possibly care less what I think.

My rottie let possums and racoons come into the house, so I wouldn’t rely on getting a dog like Thor. Of course some cats aren’t hunters either. But I’ve always had cats and never had rodents in the house, even though there are plenty in the neighborhood (lots of growth around).
