I just found out that my neighbor that I share a wall with is moving out because of "the mouse issue." This is the first I've heard about it. I'm pretty sure I don't have mice. I haven't found any chewed food packaging or what looks like mouse droppings. I do have a cat but I'm not confident he would know how to kill a mouse. I've never seen him chase anything on the floor but I know he will chase flying insects. I also haven't been presented with any "presents." Could he really be keeping the mice from my apartment by just his scent?

Yep, it's not the case where I live. Besides, is there a secret third name it must have for you to call it by when you don't know the resident's ownership status?

    I own and live in a condo, and sometimes call it an apartment., because condo sounds bougie to me. Especially because I happen to know the building was built as apartments and converted later. Lots of people rent condos as well, so they have a landlord, the owner of the unit. Anyway, you can usually say apartment to give the idea it's a multifamily dwelling.
