The Landlord’s Guide for Tenants – Rule # 5
# 5 Mice are attracted to you, not your landlord. Take a look at your living space and how clean you keep it. If you have animals or little kids, you have an uphill battle keeping food away from the mouths of hungry mice. 99% of the time your cleanliness is to blame for mice & other vermin. If you have a problem, set some traps ($1.25 for 4) or some bait if you don’t have animals or children. You are the best solution for getting rid of mice, own up to it.
Rodents are easily preventable in apartments, but you’d be surprised how many people fail to keep their rooms clean enough to keep them out.
Great point, thanks for the comment
