Hmmm...interesting. I was thinking termite king perhaps, some pictures seem to resemble the specimen. The one I found definately didnt jump when I went about cornering it, it just scurried around. Also, it's difficult to see from this picture, but there are two fairly large reddish "pinchers". It really looks like a termite king, I just don't think termites get this big. Ah well, not too worried, just curious, really - it's just a rental apartment ;)

Here is a pic of a termite for comparison, there belly striations also seem similar to me.
