Catherine Mulder took to TikTok to document her experience of moving into her new apartment in Austin, Texas back in July where she\u2019d found not one but two unexpected roommates climbing out of her toilet. \u201cY\u2019all, I literally just moved into this apartment,\u201d she told the 2.6 million viewers. \u201c25-seconds ago, put those keys in the door and unlocked it, I went to flush the toilet because I didn\u2019t have the water turned on, heard a loud thud\u2026and this dude came out of the toilet.\u201d She turned her camera to show a rat standing on her toilet seat. As she was recording, a second rat emerged from the bowl and Catherine shrieked. \u201cI\u2019m out, I\u2019m out,\u201d she said as she grabbed her keys to leave. She captioned the video: \u201cPaid $2300 for some trauma &#038; bonus roommates lol.\u201d Catherine offered an update in early August as she revealed she\u2019d called the leasing office and had a maintenance man come over to the apartment immediately. He soon found rat poop on the toilet seat. \u201cThey weren\u2019t sure they were going to be able to get emergency pest control in,\u201d Catherine explained. \u201cSo, that day, they flushed the toilet five times and closed the lid. I didn\u2019t stay there at all that weekend, for obvious reasons.\u201d After speaking with the management, the solution they gave her was to dump dish soap down the toilet and flush it every hour to keep it too slippery for the rodents to climb out. However, the story didn\u2019t have the happy ending viewers were hoping for as Catherine explained that, although the apartment management has been cooperative, she\u2019s not completely sure what the next steps will be. The good news is that there had been no rat sightings since the first day she moved into the apartment. Viewers are urging Catherine to move out of the apartment Viewers of Catherine\u2019s videos did not like what they were watching and urged her to get out of her lease. One person commented on the video and said: \u201cGirl you gotta end that lease cause them rats are gonna keep coming backkkk and it\u2019s gonna be harder to leave farther into your lease.\u201d Another wrote: \u201cNah lease would\u2019ve been terminated within them 20 minutes with a full refund upfront.\u201d \u201cThe anxiety as you\u2019re sitting on the toilet nope nope nope,\u201d a third person wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woman panics after finding rats in new apartment and viewers can\u2019t believe it thecatherinemulder\/TikTokTikTok user Catherine Mulder was shocked when she found two rats climbing up from her toilet after moving into her new apartment in Austin, Texas.
