What an experience, my friend. Thankfully, I've never been subjected to such. Just the thought of so many of those little critters sends a chill up my spine. I'm not sure I would have been able to endure one night. My longtime (estranged) friend, in the area where I live, and I had secured jobs in a community about an hour from where we were both staying at the time and decided we would like to live closer. We scoured the newspapers for places to rent, and found a trailer to rent about 10 miles from where we worked. It was not the most physically attractive place to crash inside or out, but we figured that since we would mainly only be crashing out there, we could tolerate it. For some reason or another, we found ourselves not going back to the trailer for a few days. When we did manage to make it back, we discovered that our stuff had been taken. We asked the manager about it, and were told, "Well, we didn't think you were coming back." They had a young male child and apparently decided to help himself to our stuff. We decided that if this type of action was tolerated that perhaps we should indeed leave. We got our stuff and went back to where we had previously been living. I'm surprised you got your money back, mikey. There was no lease?

Mikey, you have all my sympathies!! I had never encountered cockroaches until I moved into a very old apartment building with a whole bunch of units. It only takes one tenant, one time, in a very long history of renters, to bring in or attract one cockroach. Then, for the entire life of the building, no matter how often the exterminators come, there are roaches somewhere. The rent was cheap where I was living, I was young, flexible and very foolish, and there were a whole lot of other advantages, so I endured them for a little while. They were really very well behaved and mostly kept their distance. Then I calculated the cost of having food delivered instead of cooking (if you turned the stove on they all rushed out of it and were very scary), and decided that I was spending so much money on avoiding them that I could save some by moving. So I did. Anyway, gross!!!!!!!!!!
