A rat problem definately defies the implied "warrant of habitability" that is present anytime you have a lease.
Contact your landlord immediately, by phone, fax, and letter. Give them a deadline (no more than a few days!), by which after you will contact your area Housing Authority and Health Department. I personally would also VERY strongly consider contacting an attorney.
If the problem is not resolved within a "reasonable" amount of time, you have ever right to terminate your lease- which in actuality your landlord has already done by not providing a habitable apartment for you. It would still be in your best interest to retain an attorney, because things can get messy, and it's always best to have professional legal advice so that you don't get screwed.
