The following was reported: The supervisor at (company) illegally distributed brodifacoum to the landlord. The landlord said in a hearing with the residential Tenancy branch that the supervisor gave him several bags... I met (name) once in the hallway with the manager who asked me in front of him if I would allow poison bait in my suite. I did say "No." I was already sick from the poison in ER at the hospital. There was never any attempt to do an 'assessment' of my apartment as it says (company) does on their website. There was a 1 foot by 2 foot hole in my kitchen wall from the landlords plumbers who did not reconstruct the wall when they were done where mice inevitably had access into my suite. I asked them to repair the hole and no one did. The landlord gave poison to a tenant who put 15 blocks in a pile under my floor near a hot pipe! He and the (company) supervisor sealed the poison into the tenants ceiling, that was my floor, and the mice could only get out into my apartment. There were dead and dying mice everywhere!

The following was reported: Upon entering the washroom, fumes from the poison and the dead poisoned mouse were making my eyes burn, tear up and it made me choke. Supposedly, the severe stomach and head aches that I had were symptoms of the anticoagulant that was making my capillaries bleed through the veins and it is also why cuts and scratches would not heal and kept bleeding.
