Previously, when I mentioned compensation for the damages we have suffered as a result of the bedbug infestation, you said something about not having received a claim.

I have begun assembling the elements for such a claim.

So far, I have identified the following real property which needed to be disposed of as a result of the infestation:

- Twin-sized futon, total, 4. $139 apiece at the place I buy my futons, in San Francisco. 4 x $139 = $556
- Queen-sized futon, total, 2. $199 apiece at the place I buy my futons, in San Francisco. 2 x 199 = $398
- Tax on six futons, $81 - total is $1035
- Shipping for six futons, from San Francisco to Fortuna, to be determined

Also needing replacement:

- Two twin-sized bunkbeds, with ladders
- One queen-sized folding futon frame

Also needing compensation for:

- Six folding cots
- Six sleeping bags

Yet to be calculated:

- 7 to 8 months of bed bug infestation
- concealment of this material defect from the tenant
- 8 months of ongoing harassment by Richard Henson for investigating the origins of the above infestation
- 1 criminal assault on the premises by Richard Henson, puruant to the above investigation
- 1 neighbor losing his mind, smashing out all his windows, and brandishing a weapon - because of bed bugs

I haven't contracted with any lawyers yet but if I do they will be adding their bill - and so there is a strong incentive for the owners of the property to not wait for that to happen before entering into good faith negotiations.

While we are trying to settle all this I would appreciate it if you would hold off on evicting me for non-payment of rent, as this would only precipitate the involvement of lawyers.

Indeed, because there were not two proper applications of bed bug poisons in a proper sequence, it seems possible that the owners are in default for having failed to provide a habitable place of residence AND for having failed to properly remediate the infestation.

At this point, I contend that the owners owe me AT MINIMUM, $1035 - and that any rent I owe to them should be subtracted from this balance.

~richard
