COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Daniel Haas, 717 Lewisberry Rd., New Cumberland, PA,
17070, and avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff owns property at 440 Market St., New Cumberland, PA, for the purpose
of renting the units to tenants; Plaintiff is located at 717 Lewisberry Rd., New
Cumberland, PA 17070.
2. Defendants, Gregory Valla and Marie Weaver, are residing 440 Market St.,
apartment 1, New Cumberland, PA, 17070.
COUNT 1- BREACH OF CONTRACT
Plaintiff hereby incorporates ¶¶ 1 through 02 of the Complaint as if set forth in
full.
On or about 23 August 1998 the Defendants requested to rent apartment number 1
at 440 Market St., New Cumberland, PA..
On or about 23 August 1998 Defendants and Plaintiff executed a lease for the
period 23 August 1998 through 31 August 2000 for the sum of $425.00 (four
hundred twenty-five dollars) monthly, and which provided for a $25.00 late fee if
the rent was not paid within five calendar days of each month's due date (the first
day of each month). A true and correct copy of the lease is attached as Exhibit A.
On or about 23 August 1998, Defendants took possession of 440 Market St.,
apartment 1, New Cumberland, PA.
After the term of the lease expired 23 August 2000, Defendants remained in
possession of the property on a month-to-month basis for the same amount of
monthly rent.
On 11 October 2002, Plaintiff personally served Defendants written notice to pay
rant or quit, and Notice of termination of the lease, using the following language:
"The undersigned does elect to terminate the lease ift]~e rent is not paid within
three days."
After the expiration of the three days, Plaintiff brough~I the matter before the
appropriate District Justice, seeking money damages and possession, and
prevailed. Defendants appealed the decision.
10. On 14 November 2002, after Defendants failed to pay November's rent as well,
Plaintiff personally served Defendants written notice: to pay rent or quit, and
notice of termination of the lease, using the following language: "The undersigned
does elect to terminate the lease."
11. Plaintiff relies on the Notices described in paragraphs 8 and 10, above, primarily
as notices of termination of the lease, since Defendants expressly waived Notice
to Quit in paragraph 17 of the lease.
12. Defendants have neither paid October's nor November's rent, nor have they
delivered up possession of the premises, damaging the Plaintiff.
13. Defendants violate the no-pets clause of the lease agreement (paragraph 7) with
numerous pets, and have refused to cooperate with Plaintiff to control the odors
and property damage that their pets have caused, and are causing. Plaintiff has
noted a cat, a rabbit, a ferret, various other mammals which he cannot identify,
various birds, and multiple aquariums, including a very large and heavy display
tank.
14. Defendants are overcrowding the apartment with boxes stacked nearly to the
ceiling in living areas, and with the front entrance / exit blocked.
15. Defendants violate paragraph I 1 of the lease agreement by storing numerous
items outside, in plain view of other tenants, prospective tenants, and passers-by.
16. Plaintiff was cited by the Borough of New Cumberland to cause to be removed
from the premises a discarded clothes washer, clothes dryer, and large television
set, which the Defendants had deposited outdoors on t]he property.
17. Plaintiff personally gave the Defendants four day's notice, in writing, to remove
the items described in paragraph 15, above.
18. Defendants damaged Plaintiff in that they did not timely comply with the notice
by Plaintiff, compelling Plaintiff to pay to have them removed and disposed of, or
to do it himself to avoid penalties by the Borough.
19. Defendants were notified 22 October 2002 that Plaintiff would need access to the
apartment to make repairs inside the apartment on 261 October 2002 and 27
October 2002. Included in the notice were phone numbers for the Defendants to
call if those dates were not convenient. Defendants did not call.
20. On the morning of 26 October 2002, Plaintiff arrived at the premises with three
contractors to do the work, and Plaintiff was told by Defendant Valla that it was
not available to work inside the apartment on that day, except for four hours, and
that neither would he allow any work to be done inside the apartment at all on the
following day, 27 October 2002.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this honorable Court enter an Order
as follows:
a. Granting judgment for Plaintiffand against Defendants for rent and late
fees for the months of October and November in the amount of at least
$900.00, exclusive of interest and costs;
b. Granting judgment for Plaintiff and against Defendants for $80.00 for the
removal of Defendants abandoned washer, dryer, and television set.
c. Granting Plaintiff possession of the premises.
d. Granting Plaintiff its expenses, including reasonable attorney fees incurred
in connection with this action; and
e. Granting such other relief as the Court deems appropriate.
APPLICATION FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
As per 68 P.S. 250.513 (c), Plaintiff requests release appropriate funds fi.om the
of"
escrow account ... to compensate landlord for the tenant's actual possession and use of
the premises during the pendency of the appeal."
In the alternative, in the event such funds have not been paid by Defendant to the
prothonotary as required in 68 P.S. 250.513 (b), Plaintiff requests judgment to be entered
in his favor and the supersedeas to be summarily terminated
