HomeMy WebLinkAbout97-04985 .' . Realty Services Group, Inc Don Klaiber, Broker, Plaintiff : In the Court of Common Pleas : Cumberland County, Pa No. 97.4985 vs Maud Conn, Defendant Civil Action.Law RESPONSE TO NOTICE TO I'U:AD AND NOW, this 12th day of November, 1997, comes the Plaintiff, Realty Services Group, Inc., and 0011 Klaiber, and tiles this Response to Notice to Plead, a statement of which is as follows: 1. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that defendant lived at the stated address only. It is denied that defendant gave proper notice, left the property in good condition, and that defendant did not owe any rent/utilities. To the contrary, defendant left the property without giving proper notice, damaged and with debris left behind, and had outstanding rent and utility charges due. t?: l( lj I -3 i r - A 2. Admitted WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Court to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant. RESPO~SE TO NEW MArrE~ 3. Admitted in pal1, denied in part: paralllaph responses of I and 2 above are incorporated by reference. 4. Admitted S. Admitted 6. Admitted . . 7. Admitted 8. Admitted, however, deposit was applied to damages, rent, utility charges, as per the Lease agreement and applicable State Law. . 9. Denied- Defendant was sent a Move Out Secunty l)epositletter outlining assessments against the security deposit which details the deductions charged against the security deposit. Exhibit -Il. 10. Admitted in part, Denied in purt - No record exists to either contirm or deny the timing of this event. Records arc kept for only three yeurs as required by the Real Estate Commission and it is too long ago to recall from memory. However, it is admitted that this matter was brought to our attention, and immediate action was taken to provide safety for the dc:fendant and her family and to address the problem. It is denied that the ground openings were sinkholes... rather, the holes were created by a faulty underground storm drainage system from the street, which apparently had a broken line and when there were downpours, the street runoff would well spring up into the rear yards of the two properties which were a<\jacent to the street. When the water would recede, the openings would remain. II. Admitted in part, denied in part. Timing, again, is denied. It is admitted that 2A modified stone was delivered to the property and the openings which were apparent, were immediately tilled. 12. Denied- Plaintiff is unaware if defendant did any work whatsoever with the stone. No agreements were ever made with defendant for either work to move any stone or for any remuneration. Realty Services has a maintenance request line available 24 hours a day for tenants to use to request maintenance or repairs of this nature. No requests were received either telephonically or in writing. 13. Denied- Plaintiff has no knowledge of Defendants' alleged work or of hours alleged to have been spent on this malter. Defendant had no prior approval to do anything at this property, nor did defendant request any services to be performed. During defendants tenancy, no request was ever made for remuneration for any alleged work. 14. Denied.Plaintiffhas no knowledge of Defendants alleged expenditure of money for soil or seed on behalf of owne~. I.ease does not convey this right upon tenant. At no time dId defendant seek approval, either III writing or orally, to expend any money . . for owner, nor did the owner give any approval lor such an expenditure. This mailer was not a safety issue nor un emergency issue. Also, at no time during or aller defendants tenancy did they provide any receipts for expenditures, or seek reimbursement tor material or labor in this Illallcr Further, the Lease agreement charges the Lessee with "lawn care" responsibility anyway. IS. Admitted 16. Admitted 17. Neither admitted or denied- the rear bedruom is nul isolated from the house proper and in any event would have adequate heat distribution by convection. 18. Denied- Defendant alleges insut'licient heat, however, during defendants tenancy, no requests were ever made for repairs relative to inadequate heat in any bedroom. The Cumberland COllnty Housing Authority has no record of any complaint relative to inadequate heat, nor did any annual hOllsing inspection ever list inadequate heat as an item of correction during defendants tenancy, otherwise, if inadequate heat were a problem and not corrected, the housing authority contract with the tenant and the owner would not have been renewed. ( unless the "problem" were corrected.) e..~~, b,'~ D 19. Admilled 20. Denied.No requests were ever made relative to inadequate heat in any bedroom. Nor did the Housing Authority inspections ever require any corrective action be taken to rectify any insufficient heat problem. Plaintiff met HUD housing standards every year of the tenants lease, thus the lease agreement was renewed. 21. Denied-Defendants statement implies that a problems existed. No problem was ever reported as to a heat deficiency so therefore, no corrective actions would have been taken. Defendant has never established that an insufficient heat situation existed. COUNT ONE 22. Re,Iponses of articles 1.21 are incorporated by reference. 23. Denied-PlaintifT did not fail to remedy the yard hole openings problem. The problem was addressed responsibly as referenced by Response paragraphs 10-14. Count One avers that Plaintiff breached the lease for "Iailure to provide heat" in a bedroom. This statement implies that no heat was available by any means whatsoever for this bedroom. To the contrary. the tenant had sole control over the heat thermostat for the entire dwelling and PlaintilT maintains that sufficient heat was supplied to the bedroom in question. Response paragraphs 17-21 provide further testimony relative to this issue and are herein incorporated in this response. In addition, the lease requires the Landlord to "maintain the dwelling unit....common areas.... in accordance with the HUD Housing Quality Standards for the Housing Voucher Program...as agreed to in the Lease." (Par 0) It is a fact that the Housing Authority would annually inspectlhe property to determined if the property were in compliance with the Housing Quality Standards referenced in the lease. If the property did not meet the requirements, the Housing Assistance Contract with the owner would not be renewed. rental subsidy payments would cease. and no new renewal lease would be offered by the Housing Authority to the tenant and the landlord. The defendants were under the HUD rental subsidy program their entire time while residing at this property and therefore the property passed the inspectors evaluation in order to continue forward, year after year. Since the inspector would make the inspection in the presence of the tenant, the tenant would have had ample opportunity to bring to his attention any heat or yard deficiencies. if they existed. NJne were noted by the inspector or the alleged problems would have had to be corrected to proceed with a renewal of the lease. In addition, paragraph (F) of the lease agreement places the responsibility of "lawn care" with the tenant. Therefore, any lawn work done by the tenant would be their responsibility according to the lease agreement terms. We assert therefore, that no breach of the lease agreement took place with regard to either issue nor has the defendant supported their claim as such with any documentation. 24. Denied-Articles 24 A., 8., C.. D., have no merit. Defendants statement assumes a consequence of a breach which did not exist. nor which defendant has supplied any documentation or proof of any deficiency or of any dereliction of responsibilities of the landlord under the Lease agreement. No agreements or prior approvals or rights under the lease agreement permit tenant to unilaterally "work" at the property on behalf of the owner, set a labor rate, or estimate hours allegedly worked. or seek compensation for any of the above. Moreover, it has not been demonstrated that any loss of use eithe:r for the: yard or the bedroom took place. Nor has the de:lcndant suhstantlated how they arrived at a "diminished value" of$50 per month lor each alleged loss of use. In addition, it is evidentthllt delendant had sumcient heat from 1990 to 1992 since no damages for loss of use are being claimed during that period. despite the fact that defendant avers in article 20 and 21 of New Matter, thutthere was an inadequate heat problem to which the landlord was unresponsive. At no time did the defendant notify the Plaintiff of any uninhabitability of any portion of the house due to lack of heat, nor did defendant notify the Housing Authority of any lack of heat problem. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the Court to dismiss Count One. COUNT TWO 25. Responses to paragraphs 1-24 are incorporated by reference. 26. Since Plaintiff responded immediately with corrective action to resolve the yard hole openings and never received any requests either from the defendant or the Housing Authority annual inspections or interim inspections relative to an alleged insutlicient heat problem, Plaintiff is not in violation of the Implied Warrant of Habitability. 27. Denied-the landlord, Plaintiff, was responsive at all times to any requests for maintenance/repairs brought to his attention by the defendant, so therefore, it was not necessary for the tenant to presume any alleged labor at the property. In addition, the lease did not convey any right to the tenant to perlorm work on the property, nor did the landlord authorize any tenant work, nor did the Housing Authority require any work relative to this issue as a property deficiency. In fact, the lease requires the tenant to be responsible for "lawn carc" At no time during thc tenants tenancy did the tenant seek remuneration. Only just prior to filing the District Justice suit did the tenant seek compensation.(Exhibit _ C._J Therefore, Plaintiff should not be assessed for any alleged work performed by tenant. 28. Denied-Defendant did not, nor have they established any loss of enjoyment. EXHIBIT B IU;AI.TY S/o:HVlCio:S (;IHlt'l' '\1 . - .---- -.....---------.....-- .
