An email from someone concerning Brentwood Park Management:

I just received this gem on my door yesterday (2/8/07).

Attention Tenants:

-Recently we have had a couple of complaints about mice. This is unfortunately something that can be an issue, because it is wintertime and we live in such close proximity to the river and woods. If you have evidence of mice in your apartment, please be proactive in solving this problem. There are inexpensive spring and glue traps at any grocery store, as well as poison powders an sprays. If you have children, there are also natural solutions you can try, such as using concealed mothballs or peppermint oil scents, which deter mice. It is also important to keep your front door closed when possible. You can prevent mice from ever being a problem by making sure ALL FOOD is tightly sealed, and keeping your floors swept, mopped, and vacuumed. Keeping your cupboards and closets relatively clear of clutter makes a huge difference. Please keep in mind that this is simply something you must do, because mice are a problem for most apartments and homes in this area.

-Also, the laundry facilities have become increasingly cluttered and we must ask that tenants clean up after themselves. Please don't leave garbage, clothes, baskets, etc. behind in the laundry room. It is also important to ALWAYS check and empty the lint traps in the dryers, this is a safety issue and will also help to keep the dryers running efficiently.

-Just a reminder for students: Come April 26, we will no longer be a BYU Student apartment complex. We will be BYU approved for families only. We are giving you this notice so that you may have ample time to search for a new apartment to live in after your contract has ended. However, if you do wish to continue living here, you may be able to get approval from the BYU housing office, but this is something you need to do before April. They may give you a waiver to give to us that will allow you to still live here. Families, if you have any friends who may be interested in living here, please let us know! There is a one time $200 referral bonus if someone referred by you signs a rental contract with us.

-We hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable winter! As always, you can call us at (801) 356-6294 with any questions and concerns. Please leave a message with your contact information if we are unable to answer.

Thanks!

There are no laws in Utah County that require landlords to do anything about health or safety issues. Does anyone else think this is a problem?

Do not move to Brentwood. Even though I pay $200/month more than I should to live with mice and general filth I would not recover the cost by submitting someone else to my pain.

As a side note, last winter under the old management there was no mice problem. This past fall the new management neglected to rake leaves or sweep the walks. Could the problem be the management's fault?
