Here is the letter of my intent to the LL. Her name will be blocked out for privacy reasons:
Dear ***********,
I am Daniel $$$$$$$. I was your tenant in the rented camper, from September 1st 2016 thru January 31 2017.
This message is for you to decide if you would like to pay me, Daniel $$$$$$$$, the sum of $2,269. This total amount comes from as follows:
$175 per month starting in September and ending in January. (5 months @ $175 per month for rent)
$622, Standard relocation housing for 1st month rent for a 1 bedroom/ 1 bathroom, apartment according to Housing Urban Development (HUD)
$622, standard security deposit for 1 bedroom/ 1 bathroom apartment, according to HUD
$150 for utilities deposit on 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom apartment according to HUD services
At this exact moment , the total amount I am asking for is $2,269.
I plan on renting a motel room, in which you will be billed and therefore the total of $2,269 will increase for the amount of each night I stay and have receipts documenting the occupancy of motel or hotel room.
Other expenses can follow as well so it may be in your best interest to not take this action to Small Claims Court, and settle for the current amount of $2,269.
In the near future, I will have the necessary documents from the city Hall in Dinuba regarding the findings of Angelica Molina, Code Enforcement officer who has deemed the living quarters in which I rented from you from September thru January, inhabitable.
You may contact me with your decision on whether to settle out of court or otherwise take this lawsuit in front of a Judge to decide the outcome. I'
Any information you send me will be forwarded to my legal aid.
If you choose to not to notify me of your decision in a reasonable amount of time, 3-5 days, I will begin my lawsuit against you, ********. In which time, I will save every receipt that will add to the total expense amount.
Starting tomorrow, February 24th, will begin the time period for you to make your decision. March 2nd 2017 will be the last day to pay me the sum of $2,269. <End>
I also sent exact message in Spanish using Google translate. All messages were sent to the cell phone I was given upon moving in. I wrote this myself.
