HUGE MOUSE PROBLEM
November 24, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
HUGE MOUSE ISSUE. DO NOT MOVE HERE. My husband has been living here for 4 years. Before I moved in earlier this year he had the first sighting of droppings on top of a kitchen cabinet. He patched up the hole only to find huge gaps under the base boards in the kitchen where the construction just left it unfinished and he used steel mesh to fill them. This past week he saw a mouse scurry from the kitchen and when we came home that very night while pulling our bed comforter off we found a MOUSE IN ...
OUR BED. We were beyond distressed. No droppings, no warnings, just a mouse in our bed… we spent the next few hours trying to catch it in our bedroom and eventually did but haven’t been able to rest since. It was unnerving, distressing, and confusing.
Our unit is a few doors down from the trash shoot and during the trash strike our floors trash shoot was broken and remained so for months. We didn’t complain, just took our trash to the overflowing dumpsters outside. I’d literally just renewed our lease a few days prior and we decided for our peace of mind we can no longer live here. I’d also had an unfortunate fumes issue with what looks like white paint on the bathroom sink when trying to clean some jewelry with alcohol.
MANAGEMENT- With only two months left on the lease, we inquired about the potential of transferring to a unit in better condition. Not without a fee. Then we inquired about breaking the lease since we’re literally stressed living here and should not have to. Not without a penalty. While I appreciate them sending an exterminator, he didn’t do anything we hadn’t and my husband spent more money and time patching holes and laying traps then the exterminator did in the 10 min he was here. But according to them, after 4 years of paying Bradlee rent, there is no alternative to this issue except having him try again. At least 3 times to be exact. Meaning we’d need to actually endure another mouse or two before they’d consider us leaving, which again we had no intention of before this.
The best thing about this place is the maintenance team, they’re awesome!
We pay so much money for our peace of mind here all to be lost and matters made worse by management not creating any alternative then to “wait for another sighting to address the lease”. This has escalated so quickly and has been incredibly disappointing, beyond inconvenient for our insanely busy lives (taking calls while teaching classes and at work), costly and sad. Shame on you Bradlee Danvers.
