How do I get rid of rats?

I'm renting a room in NYC, & I just saw a rat, & now, I'm scared to go 2 sleep. My room is very clean, & the people won't let me get a pet or rat poisoning.

Answers:
If you are just renting a room from someone in their house they may have good reason for not wanting you to use the poison in that the rat or rats could die in the walls and smell real bad and getting them out can be an issue but they should either allow you to get rat traps and bait them with peanut butter or they should do something to get rid of the problem themselves, if they wont allow you to do either I would with hold the rent or move out.
