The mice would chew through everything, effectively making the city un-inhabitable.

For the purpose of this question things you rent count as your possessions. Anything that "feels" like you own it can disappear. (This to avoid obvious loopholes).

@SmokinPuss Leaving the city is a valid option. However moving cities has costs in money and opportunity and its harder for some than others: considering family ties and things that you or your family is a part of. If you are in a time of life when moving cities would be easy then this option is much less concerning.
