PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TO DEFENDANT'S NEW MATTER
AND NOW, comes plaintiff, Kathleen A. Curtis, by and through her attorneys, The Law
Offices of Paul Bradford Orr, and files the following answer to defendant's new matter:
1. Paragraphs 1-12 of defendants answer do not require response because they are
merely denials of the averments in the plaintiff's complaint.
2. Denied. Plaintiff has stated a cause of action for conversion. In addition, under
current case law punitive damages are available for landlords' conversion of
tenant's personal property by throwing it away. The defendant threw away
plaintiff's property acting with reckless indifference to plaintiff's legal rights.
3. Denied. No answer is required because the averments are merely denials of the
averments in the plaintiff's complaint. By way of further answer, the plaintiff's
actions were in accordance with an agreement reached with the defendant. In
addition, a breach oflease does not constitute a defense to the defendant's actions.
4. Denied. To the contrary, plaintiff merely left the apartment to stay with her
boyfriend for three days. Defendant has regular contact with the plaintiff at work
and never inquired if plaintiff had abandoned apartment. Also plaintiff left the
property in the same condition in which she received it.
5. Denied. By agreement the plaintiff had until the end of November, 1999.to vacate
..
"

the premises. Plaintiff was still in the process of trying to vacate the premises
when the defendant took advantage of the plaintiffs absence to place her
possessions outside to be picked up as trash.
6. Denied. Plaintiff placed the key to the apartment on the kitchen counter next to
the sink, as was agreed.
7. Denied. No answer is required because the averment is merely a denial of the
averments in the plaintiffs complaint.

ANSWER AND NEW MATTER
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes,
and makes the following Answer and New Matter to Plaintiff's Complaint:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Denied. To the contrary, Plaintiff asked Defendant to retain the damage deposit
as the November rent and Defendant refused to do so and advised the Plaintiff that
November's rent was still to be paid, that Defendant would not accept the damage deposit
as November's rent, and that Plaintiff would be in breach of the lease if she did not make
the rental payment due on the first of November.
8. Denied. In late November, Defendant inspected the property prior to showing it
to a prospective purchaser and found that the Plaintiff had abandoned the property and had
removed all furnishings and assets of any value and left only trash and refuse behind. In an
effort to make the apartment presentable to the prospective purchaser, Defendant removed
some of the trash and refuse from the apartment and placed it near a motor vehicle which
the Plaintiff had left parked in the alley behind the apartment and placed any items which
appeared to have any value on the porch behind the apartment. Plaintiff subsequently
returned to the apartment and removed any of the items that she wished from the
. apartment and porch, and left behind the items which she did not want. Defendant denies
that she deprived Plaintiff of any assets of any value or any assets which the Plaintiff in fact
wanted.
II
,"", . -".'-.,' -~-,
C,y',-
.
o
9. Admitted.
10. Admitted.
11. Denied. Defendant's conduct is reasonable and prudent under the
circumstances. Plaintiff is the party who abandoned the lease and left the apartment in a
dirty and unreasonable condition.
12. Denied. Defendant has not converted any of Plaintiff's property, has not retained
any of it, and made it available to Plaintiff at all times.
WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint and enter
judgment in favor of Defendant.
NEW MATTER
By way of further answer and offset, Defendant avers as follows:
13. Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a cause of action, particularly with regard to
the Plaintiff's demand for punitive damages.
14. Plaintiff breached the lease between the parties by failing to pay rent as due.
15. Plaintiff breached the lease between the parties by abandoning the apartment
and leaving it in a dirty and unfit condition.
16. Plaintiff had full opportunity to recover all of her property from the apartment and
Defendant did not exclude Plaintiff from the apartment at any time during the term of the
lease.
~ 17. To this day, Plaintiff has refused to return the key to the apartment or to
, otherwise restore full control and possession of the apartment to Defendant, its rightful
owner.
18. Defendant has not removed or converted any of Plaintiff's property.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests this Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint and enter
judgment in this matter in favor of the Defendant.
