Mouse or Rat ?

My guess is mouse but I'm certainly no expert. I'm going to go do some research, haha.
ETA: I'll stick with mouse but I still don't know. I know you're creeped out and I don't want them in my house but I think they are cute.

Yes, we're all creeped out ( neighbours) since we've been invaded with these animals. The board have called in a rat expert who is going to set up cages to trap them. The board also want to get rid of the cats that have set up home in the residence.
It all started when the downstairs neighbours put a composter in his garden. He's the one that owns a shotgun so everyone is afraid to say anything.

Oh that doesn't sound good. I actually had a mouse problem a few years ago. Still don't know how that happened when I had cats at the time. I used the humane traps and managed to fix the problem. It took a few weeks. Luckily it hasn't been an issue since.
My daughter is going through it now in her rental. She can't wait to find a house. Hopefully the market will open up soon.

Hopefully, she'll be able to set them free elsewhere. Naturally, who's going to pay the bill…….. ?
House hunting can be so daunting. Anyway, I'm sure she'll find something within her budget as houses seem cheaper in the US compared to over here.

It looks like a mouse to me, I think they're cute as well. When I had indoor/outdoor cats and lived in the mountains, they would catch mice (and sometimes birds) and bring them in the house. Then I would have to catch the ones that were still alive and put them back outside. 
We recently had rats living in the garage, but the dogs killed them.

You're all so clever to know what it is by looking at it. I thought that it was a rat as it was quite huge (the photo makes it look small) and because of it's tail. All the mice that I've ever seen had tiny tails.

Haha, yes! That will be your job, lol. Let me know what he says.Shall we ask it ?
"Excuse me, Mr. Rodent, sir...are you a rat or a mouse?"

I would have said rat, from the length of her nose, but it's harder to tell when not in person. If you see droppings, it's obvious. Rat droppings really reek.
I hope non-fatal removal methods are going to be used.

I'm thinking they're a native species of rat, maybe, as opposed to the introduced rats and mice who more often wind up in our houses.
