Hi everyone. I've been dealing with this problem for about 5 months now and I'm tired of it now. I came to Florida with my cousin and his girlfriend to help them out financially while my cousin goes to school, but they take such bad care of thier surroundings that it's unbearable to live here now. They have 8 pets, including Ferrets, cats, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, and they leave droppings everywhere in the apartment. I've talked to my roomates about it previously, yet they still will not clean up after them. The pets will go as long as months without their cages being cleaned, and gnats (small flies) with flow from their cages. The odor becomes unbearable, and I've taken numerous pictures of the flies on our walls, the weeks worth of feces piled in the corners of the rooms and scattered all over the living room floor. It's gotten to the point where I will only stay in my room because the place is such a mess.
They also fail to clean after themselves when they eat and get food and stuff all over the counter tops and ranges, which caused a roach problem this summer.
My cousin is the main person on the lease. Also, I found that I am under the contract as someone who is not paying on the lease, and wont be employed for the period of the lease either, if that matters. I'm on the lease from 5/16/05 to 5/31/06. If there's any other info needed, i'll try to find it and post it. Any advice is appreciated!
