With a fondness for black and red ink, a tenant at Oak and Broderick seems peeved with their current living situation, which allegedly involves rats, urine, fecal matter, and an illegal rent increase.

yikes.
it reads like a foul-mouthed and alcohol induced Twitter feed.
Nice spelling.
If your last name is "Lurie," naming your daughter "Lori" is just wrong.
I'm sure it's no treat to live there, but the visual pollution is as bad as any actual pollution.
What is it with mentally unbalanced hippies and their enormous, scatologically obsessed signs?
There was smelly stinky Burger King guy in the Inner Sunset...and the enormous anti-toilet sign at Haight and Masonic, which blights the neighborhood more than an actual toilet would.
What do we want? A font size cap on scatological signs!
When do we want it? NOW!

No, it isn't.
If you don't like the signs/messy tenant dispute. Call the Lori: http://tinyurl.com/dln4mo
I think I'd be advertising the name of whomever it is that is leaving trash out to attract rats into the home, if that's the main problem. Rats/Pigeons/Sharks don't all congregate at the same spot for no reason.
Actually, there's lots of reasons that the tenant might have rats that would NOT be their fault. For example, another tenant in the building might be the slop, and the rats are exploring the rest of the building in search of food. Or maybe there've been rats nesting somewhere else in the building and the landlord chased them out. I can think of several other situations too.
I find it really surprising that the rats are supposedly in the kitchen out where people can see them. No matter how messy it was, normally the fear of seeing other people would keep them out of people's actual living spaces. Which leads me to believe that there must be something wrong elsewhere in the building that would lead to it being this bad.
Or, maybe there aren't even any rats and the tenant is just crazy. Maybe there was a mouse. A mouse that pooped on the floor once and left, but no matter how many times he cleans it, the floor is still too fecal in his memory for the tenant to just move on, and the more he thinks about it, the more feces and urine there was, and the bigger the rodent was, until soon the house is just brimful of nasty. Who really knows?
It is a shame that they must sacrifice the quality of natural light in the home in order to exercise they right of free speech.
Jesus hippy, sort your own problems out. Get an exterminator, or better yet, get a jack russell. "Can't go in putrid kitchen" Was it putrid when you moved in? Probably not. It is now? Did putrid fairies come in and putrify your kitchen? Take some responsibility. Or move.
All of those signs were rejected by No Doubt a few years ago.

I knew I'd seen that somewhere before and now I can place it. I'll take "CDs that you always find in the bedrooms of one-night-stands" for $200, Alex.
I had a "mouse" problem before in a rental. I think we caught about 20 mice in 3 weeks. Gross. The reason we got an influx of mice was the landlord decided to renovate a basement room previously unavailable to us. The construction left lots of exposed holes to the outside until it was finished.
It sucked, but we figured it out without lame "help, we can't take matters into our own hands" signs and got the problem solved. And, for the record. 20 mice > 4 rats.
Short of an electrical fire rendering my apartment completely without power, I can't imagine calling my landlord for assistance of any kind. I've seen his "handiwork" in other apartments and all I can say is "I think I can handle it myself."
I agree, they should suck it up and call an exterminator.
