@Nicholas Moffett, you are the type of tenant I am terrified of.

If mice become an issue (so far only in one house) we will set traps and seal possible openings.I once had a tenant who moved from New Jersey who, I learned (AFTER the lease signing of course) had very bad OCD and was terrified to the grasshoppers outside. 

People seem to be terrified of calling someone on the phone these days, it's all texts and emails.
