ORCHARD APARTMENTS,
Plaintiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 98 - 246 CIVIL TERM
v.
PATRICIA WATSON,
Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PLAINTIFF'S PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Plaintiff owns and operates an apartment complex. The
complex was built using private funds and receives housing
assistance payments from the Department of Housing & Urban
Development under a program commonly referred to as the
Section 8 program. The Plaintiff is directed by HUD to seek
qualified low income families to house in the apartment
complex. Tenants are required to pay thirty percent (30%) of
their household income to the owners as rent, with the
remaining amount of the rent being paid by the federal
government via housing assistance payments.
Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written Lease
Agreement on December 12, 1994. The initial term of the Lease
was for a period of one (1) year, after which initial term,
the Lease continued on successive terms for one (1) month
each.
The Lease Agreement provided, and the tenant agreed to,
the following terms:
13. The Tenant agrees not to:
b. Use the unit for unlawful purposes;
c. Engage in or permit unlawful activities
in the unit, in the common areas or on the project
grounds;
f. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this lease, the Tenant, members of the Tenant's
household, guests of Tenant and other persons under
Tenant's control shall not engage in unlawful
activity, including drug-related criminal activity,
in the Tenant's unit or on the project premises,
and such unlawful activity shall be cause for
termination of tenancy. "Drug-related criminal
activity" means the illegal manufacture, sale,
distribution, use or possession of a controlled
substance as defined in section 102 of the United
states Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S. Code
section 802. Criminal conviction under Federal,
state or local law shall not be precondition for
termination of tenancy.
The Defendant also agreed to abide by Paragraph 13(i) of the
Lease Agreement which stated the following:
13. (i) Tenant shall not create or permit
any disturbing noises in or about Tenant's dwelling
unit by himself, his family or guests; nor shall
he, his family, or guests interfere with or
materially diminish the rights, comforts, or
convenience of other Tenants or surrounding
neighbors. Neither the Tenant, his family, nor his
guests shall engage in any activity that would
consti tute an offense against persons, property,
pUblic order, or pUblic health or decency, or that
involves fraud, deception, firearms, or other
weapons.
The Lease Agreement also provided, in part, in Paragraph 23(b)
that the Lease could be terminated for:
,
''I
,
,
Criminal activity that threatens the health,
safety, or right to peaceful enj oyment of the
premises by other tenants or any drug-related
criminal activity on or near such premises, engaged
in by a tenant, any member of the Tenant's
household, or any guest or other person under the
tenant's control.
:'
Plaintiff contends that on or about October 30, 1997,
probation officers and officers of the Lower Allen Police
force discovered and seized marijuana and drug paraphernalia
from the Defendant while the Defendant was in her apartment.
Marijuana is a controlled substance as defined by Section 102
of the United States Controlled Substance Act, 21 U.S.C. 9802,
and under the Pennsylvania Controlled Substances Act, 35 P.S.
9780.101.
J
,
,
The arresting police officers and the Dauphin County
Probation Officers will testify that the illegal drugs were
stored in a 35mm film canister found in plain view in the
Defendant I s bedroom, located on the second floor of the
Defendant's apartment.
2
L,
.
The relevant facts pertaining to the discovery and
seizure of the illegal drugs in the Defendant's apartment unit
are as follows. On october 30, 1997, Officers of the Dauphin
county Probation Office were executing an arrest warrant for
Defendant's arrest at approximately 9: 30 a.m. Officers
Kristin E. Savel and Michael potteiger had arrived at the
Defendant's apartment to serve the warrant on the Defendant
for a parole violation. Upon executing the warrant for the
Defendant's arrest, the officers found a 35mm film canister in
plain view in the Defendant's bedroom, along with several
marijuana "roaches". Officers of the Lower Allen Police force
were contacted at approximately 9:30 a.m. Officers Potteiger
and Savel will both testify that in talking to the Defendant
she freely admitted that the substance found in the film
canister was in fact marijuana and that the marijuana belonged
to her. Officers Potteiger and Savel will also testify that
the Defendant knew that they were going to execute the warrant
as she had been contacted previously by them as a result of
her failure to submit to urine testing.
As a result of the discovery of the marijuana and the
'drug paraphernalia found in Defendant's apartment unit,
Defendant was charged with possession of a controlled
substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. A plan
agreement was reached with the District Attorney's Office and
the charge of possession of marijuana was dropped in return
for Defendant's entering a plea of guilty to the charge of
possession of drug paraphernalia. Defendant entered her plea
on March 3, 1998 before Judge J. Wesley Oler, Jr. and was
sentenced on the same day to supervised probation for a period
of twenty-three (23) months.
Upon learning of the illegal drugs being found in the
Defendant's apartment, Plaintiff issued a Proposed Notice to
Quit and Terminate on November 11, 1997. On November 20,
1997, a Final Notice to Quit and Terminate was served on the
Defendant. Plaintiff sought the termination of the Lease
Agreement based upon Plaintiff's opinion that the possession
and presence of marijuana in the apartment unit was in
violation of Paragraphs 13, 14 and 23 of the Lease Agreement
and paragraph 4-19 of HUD Transmittal 4350.3 and a violation
of the pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act. Plaintiff was
requested to remove herself from her apartment unit on or
before December 31, 1997. Defendant still occupies the
apartment unit.
3
II. PROCEDURAL HISTORY:
This matter was initiated by a Complaint being filed at
the District Justice level. JUdgment was entered in favor of
Plaintiff. Defendant appealed the District Justice's
decision. Plaintiff filed a Complaint on February 23, 1998.
An Answer to the Complaint was filed, but not forwarded to
Plaintiff's counsel, on March 24, 1998. Arbitration of the
matter was held on September 2, 1998. An Appeal of the
Arbitrators' Award was filed by the Defendant on September 15,
1998, without Notice of the Appeal being forwarded to counsel.
This matter was subsequently listed for trial and is now
before the Court.
III. SIGNIFICANT LEGAL ISSUE:
WHETHER THE DEFENDANT'S STORAGE OF ILLEGAL
DRUGS IN HER APARTMENT UNIT REPRESENTED A BREACH OF
PARAGRAPH 13 (c) OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE
TERMS OF THE LEASE ADDENDUM AND AN ACT OF MATERIAL
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE PENNSYLVANIA LANDLORD AND
TENANT ACT?
Suggested Answer in the Affirmative.
ARGUMENT:
THE DEFENDANT'S STORAGE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS IN
HER APARTMENT UNIT REPRESENTED A BREACH OF
PARAGRAPH 13 (c) OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE
TERMS OF THE LEASE ADDENDUM AND AN ACT OF MATERIAL
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE PENNSYLVANIA LANDLORD AND
TENANT ACT.
The Defendant's eviction is warranted for violation of
the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act, 68 Pa. C.S.A.
~250. 101, et sea., as well as for material non-compliance with
express terms of her Lease Agreement and HUD regulations.
Review of the plain language of the Pennsylvania Landlord
and Tenant Act and the Lease Agreement clearly establishes
that the Plaintiff is authorized to evict the Defendant
regardless of whether she knows or should have known of the
presence of drugs in the apartment. The illegal conduct
4
prompting this action clearly constitutes a violation of the
Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act and material non-
compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease
Agreement and, as a result, Defendant's tenancy should be
terminated.
While indeed many defendants in tenancy termination
proceedings have brought forth numerous arguments in defense
thereof, several jurisdictions have refused to entertain such
arguments and have instead upheld eviction solely on the
court's review of the legal effect of lease provisions where
the sale, possession or seizure of illegal drugs was involved.
Minneapolis public Housinq Authoritv v. Greene, 463 N.W.2d 558
(Minn. App. 1990) (eviction upheld for lease language allowing
termination for "good cause" where police seized illegal drugs
from tenant's apartment and tenant's son was charged with
possession of controlled substance); citv of Phoenix v.
Bellamv, 736 P.2d 1175 (Ariz. App. 1987) (termination upheld
where lease language stated that tenant was "not to use
dwelling for any illegal purpose" and tenant was convicted for
possession of dangerous drugs); cf. Housinq Authoritv of citv
of Atlanta v. Davis, 281 S.E.2d 345 (Ga. App. 1981)
(possession by tenant's son and cousin of stolen property in
tenant's apartment constituted clear and material breach of
lease where language required tenant, her children and other
persons on the premises "to conduct themselves in a manner
which will not disturb neighbors' peaceful enjoyment of their
accommodations and will be conducive to maintaining the
project in a decent, safe and sanitary condition").
Since the Courts in these cases relied solely upon the
construction of the Lease Agreement in determining the outcome
of termination proceedings.
Accordingly, the Court here should rely solely upon the
language of the Lease Agreement to determine whether, under
the circumstances in this case, the landlord has the authority
to terminate the tenancy of the Defendant. When so done, the
Court will determine that the conduct which resulted in the
present eviction proceedings represents violations of both the
Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act and the express terms and
conditions of the Lease Agreement.
Determination of the tenant's statutory violation
requires little more than a plain reading. The pennsylvania
Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, 68 Pa. C.S.A. ~250.101, et
~, contains a specific provision which describes certain
acts relating to illegal drugs that shall constitute a breach
of condition of a tenant's lease and shall be grounds for
5
"'
removal of the tenant. 68 Pa.C.S.A. 250.555. Of the acts
listed therein, one in particular is clearly applicable:
(a) (3) The seizure by law
officials of any illegal drugs on
premises in the single-family dwelling
dwelling premises or tenement.
enforcement
the leased
or multiple
68 Pa. C.S.A.~ 250.555(a) (3).
While no reported Pennsylvania case has applied this
provision, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has
reviewed and upheld a similar statutory provision within this
context. Boston Housina Authoritv v. Guirola, 575 N.E. 2d
1100 (Mass. 1991).
In Guirola, the tenant, Guirola, and one William Taylor,
an occupant, were charged with, inter alia, illegal possession
of drugs with intent to distribute as a result of the Boston
Housing Authority Police's seizure of illegal drugs in the
tenant's apartment. At or about the same time, the Boston
Housing Authority (BHA), in conjunction with Corcoran
Management Co., Inc., the property manager, filed a complaint
seeking termination of the tenant's lease for violation of
Massachusetts General Laws c.139, ~19 (1990 ed.). section 19
provides, in pertinent part, that:
[ i] f a tenant or occupant of a building or
tenements uses such premises or any part
thereof for the purposes of the illegal
keeping, sale or manufacture of controlled
substances, . . . such use shall at the election of
the lessor . make void the lease. . which
such tenant or occupant holds.
The Housing Court terminated Guirola's tenancy, and the
Supreme Judicial Court transferred the case on its own motion.
In defense of BHA's claim, Guirola argued, inter alia,
that section 19 applied only to her conduct and was therefore
inoperable. She claimed that the evidence "suggested at I.1ost
that Taylor possessed the drugs, and that there was no
evidence that she or her family were in any way involved with
their presence." Boston Housina Authoritv v. Guirola, 575
N. E. 2d at 1103. This argument was quickly refuted by the
Court.
6
Guirola's argument is defeated by the words of
the statute themselves. By its terms, G.L. c.139,
~l9, applies to conduct by a "tenant or occupant."
Guirola does not contend, nor could she, that there
was insufficient evidence that Taylor was an
occupant . . . The judge could properly determine
that an occupant of the unit used the apartment for
unlawful purposes. There was no error.
Id. at 1103.
Accordingly, the Court affirmed the Housing Court's judgment
terminating Guirola's tenancy.
Guirola parallels the case sub iudice. Here, as in
Guirola, the plain language of the statute should mark the
beginning and end of the inquiry. section 250.555, by its
very words, states that "seizure by law enforcement officials
of anv illegal drugs on the leased premises . . . shall be a
breach of condition of the lease and shall be grounds for
removal of the tenant." ~ 250.555 (J) and Id. (emphasis
added) . Therefore, the seizure of illegal drugs in the
Defendant's premises constitutes a violation of ~250.555 of
the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act and as such is a
breach of condition of her lease and thereby constitutes good
grounds for her removal.
II
~
I
I
"
~
Furthermore, the express language of the Lease Agreement
allows termination of the tenancy for violation of the
Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act.
section 23. Termination of Tenancy states under section
(b) that, "[t]he landlord may terminate this Agreement only
for. ... (2) The tenant's failure to carry out obligations
under any state Landlord and Tenant Act."
II
Clearly, violation of ~250. 555 (A) (3) represents a failure
to carry out obligations under the Pennsylvania Landlord and
Tenant Act, and, as a result, the landlord may terminate this
agreement and thereby terminate Defendant's tenancy.
The failure to carry out obligations under the
Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act, in addition to breach of
express language of the Lease Agreement, constitute a clear
and material breach of the terms and conditions of the Lease
Agreement. A fortiori Defendant's tenancy should be
terminated for violation of ~250.555(A) (3) .
"
.
7
, ,
I..
Also, Defendant's violation of express general
restrictions contained in the Lease Agreement constitutes
material non-compliance with the terms of the Lease Agreement
and, as a result, provides further justification for the
landlord's termination of Defendant's tenancy.
section 13(c). General Restrictions states as follows:
The Tenant agrees not to:
(c) engage in or permit unlawful activities
in the unit, in the common areas or on the project
grounds.
section 23 (b) (1) of the Lease Agreement states, in
pertinent part, that:
The landlord may terminate this Agreement only
for . . . criminal activity that threatens the
health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of
the premises by other tenants or any drug-related
criminal activity on or near such premises, engaged
in by a tenant, any member of the Tenant's
household, or any guest or other person under the
Tenant's control. . ..
Here, the Defendant engaged in the unlawful activity in
her unit, specifically, "drug-related criminal activity,"
which is defined in the lease and under section 102 of the
united Stated Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S. Code section
802, as "the illegal. . sale . . . or possession of a
controlled substance." As a result, such unlawful activity by
the Defendant, constitutes a material non-compliance ~
definition; for the sale and pos~ession of illegal drugs by
the tenant are certainly within the scope of conduct for which
termination of tenancy is authorized. Such "drug-related
criminal activity" is a serious interference with the rights
and quiet enjoyment of other tenants and, as such, shall be
cause for termination of Defendant's tenancy.
