To: Fanno Creek Village <fannocreekvillage@affinityproperty.com> Hi Nas, I am following up on my message this AM. I got home a while ago from a day away. The air inside the apartment was horrendous in the living room, kitchen, dining room and of course the front bathroom. I opened up all the doors and windows and turned on the exhaust fans. In this weather that is not a workable strategy for even the short term. Again, thank you for your help. Thank you, Cynthia Dorell Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

I agree with you that it is not a good idea for me to stay in the apartment with the smells and potential health hazards. Do you know when I can be moved out? Hopefully that would be to the one bedroom apartment in Fanno Creek Apartments. Thank you, Cynthia Dorell I.

I have the same bad smell strongly at the kitchen sink and the smell has seeped into what I thought was my "safe space' in the far bedroom and bath- despite that bedroom door being closed. This was detected even though the bathroom door by the front door was closed all day and the exhaust fan on in there on for hours. I have also opened up the apartment to fresh air quite a bit today and I have three "true hepa" air filters running throughout the apartment.

I have barely used the front bathroom for several weeks due to the bad smell. At first I wondered if somehow there was mildew somewhere that I couldn't see. I scrubbed, sanitized, and checked repeatedly. I closed the stopper in the sink and tub to prevent any smells from coming up- but the smells were still present and getting worse. I went out last night for a few hours and when I came in through my front door the nasty smell hit me right away despite the front bathroom door being closed. I went into that bathroom and the nasty smell was overwhelming. I removed almost everything that I had stored in the bathroom for fear it was picking up that terrible smell. I don't have a great place to put what I stored there so it is on my bedroom floor which impedes the use of that room. I have family members visits scheduled and I won't be able to accommodate them as I should with one available bathroom. I don't want to expose them to this nasty situation. The smell leaks into the main living space as well. I have concerns about the safety of living here and feel I may have to be moved while the remediation in my attic takes place. I don't want my belongings tainted by this smell. It is really unfortunate that this problem 2 got to such a serious condition before you started working here. Eraticon told me a long time ago that have rat"colonies" in the attic. Thank you very much for your help, Cynthia Dorell 13828#10 Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

The smell has generally been the worst in the front bathroom, but have also noticed in other places including under the kitchen sink and it radiates out from there possibly. I tried to wait to try to get more information, but this morning was especially bad. I read in this article that rodent related smells can come down from the attic. I opened up my apartment for at least an hour this morning to let outside air in to try to make the smell dissipate. I am really beginning to think it is pest related and I am finding it increasingly unpleasant to live here. Thank you for all your help, Cynthia Dorell 13828#10 "When Odors Cross The Threshold Scents from pests don't stay politely contained to the space where they originate. Once strong enough, they drift into living areas, hallways, and even attach themselves to clothing or upholstery. The way these odors travel often depends on airflow patterns, temperature changes, and the design of a property. An attic infestation, for example, may become noticeable on the floor below when warm air pushes the scent down 3 through vents or cracks. Similarly, an issue inside wall cavities might release odors into multiple rooms at once, making it challenging to isolate the location by smell alone. Over time, these odors can create an atmosphere that feels unclean or unsettling, even if the rest of the property is spotless. The human nose adapts to persistent smells, so residents may stop noticing them as strongly—while visitors detect them immediately. This is part of why pest odors can persist for long periods before being acted upon, allowing infestations to spread quietly behind the scenes. Identifying the source early can make all the difference, not just for eliminating the pests themselves but for preventing long-term odor damage. The longer these smells have to settle into walls, floors, or fabrics, the harder they are to remove, and in some cases, complete odor removal may require replacing affected materials altogether. Take Action Against Suspicious Odors Strange, persistent smells—whether they're rotten, musty, or oily— shouldn't be brushed off as background annoyances. They often point to hidden activity that's much more than a simple nuisance. The earlier the source is identified and addressed, the better the chance of preventing further property damage, health concerns, and lingering odors that can take over a space." https://www.aeropestcontrolfl.com/bad -smells-can-signal-pest-problems Sent with Proton Mail secure email. 4 5
