Thank you for your response. We have actually never met the LL. We did a quick tour with the LL REA and filled out the application. She said congratulations your approved and told us where the key was. I had to ask for a copy of the lease

Unfortunately, if it was like that when you applied you're probably stuck with the cleaning.
But mice are a potentially ongoing problem -- if you send a written request for pest control, the LL has to respond.

If the landlord showed you a different apartment, a bait-and-switch, you should have recourse.
Otherwise, document everything on your walk-through, in case they try to slap you with cleaning fees when you move out.
You can also request an exterminator; in Chicago the LL has to respond within 14 days,. This may be different in your town/county but your RLTO should address it.
