2nd floor flat, lots of stairs, no cat flaps, no option for a cat rope/stairway. And they're not allowed by the landlord.
Cannot help with the landlord bit -apart from explain that he'll have to get rid of the mice for you?- but when we lived in our previous flat we were on the second floor.
Around 10pm I'd open the front door, and James (the cat) would then walk alongside me down two flights of stairs, and then wait whilst I opened the fire door- he would then shoot out for the night.
I'd let him back in at half seven the next morning.

Worked well for both of us.
