NEW MATTER
12. Paragraphs 1 through 11 of Defendant's Answer to
Plaintiff's Amended Complaint are hereby incorporated by

leaving jagged and protruded edges; and
b. The blinds On the windows were broken to such an
extent that the tilt mechanism of the blinds was
inoperable, and the rods for the blinds were lying
on the windowsills.
16. At the time Defendant took possession of the Premises,
the living room contained the following preexisting damages
and/or problems:
a. The blinds on the windows were broken to such an
extent that the tilt mechanism of the blinds was
inoperable, and the rods for the blinds were lying
on the windowsills;
b. A large silver bolt was located in the center of
the largest wall in the living room; and
c. Screen damage in one window.

and/or problems:
a. The blinds on the windows were broken to such an

. -=~l_~""j
i__

."'._::11,
inoperable, and the rods for the blinds were lying
on the windowsills; and
b. The carpet was not new, but was warn and dirty.
As a result, Defendant expended his own time and
money to clean the old worn carpets.
18. At the time Defendant took possession of the Premises,
the rear bedroom contained the following preexisting damages
and/or problems:
a. The carpet was not new.but was warn and dirty. As
a result, Defendant expended his own time and
money to clean the old worn carpets;
b. Several nails were left on the rear wall which
Defendant utilized during his occupancy; and
c. Stickers were placed on the inside of door frames.
19. At the time Defendant took possession of the Premises,
the bathroom contained the following preexisting damages and/or
problems:
a. The blinds on the windows were broken to such an
extent that the tilt mechanism of the blinds was

b. There were several nail holes in the walls above
the toilet on the rear wall;
c. The carpet was, rotting the base boards and sub-
floor immediately in front of the stand up shower;
and

20. At the time Defendant took possession through the date
Defendant vacated the Premises, fumes and odors continuously
emanated throughout the Premises and the building as a result of
i-~'~-'
L,~~.,.
,
Plaintiff's hair salon located on the first floor of the building
in which the Premises is located.
21. It is believed and therefore averred that the plumbing
system is not properly ventilated and that the perm solutions,
shampoos and other chemicals used in Plaintiff's business may
have been disposed of improperly which caused the fumes therefrom
to be dissipated throughout the plumbing system into the Premises
and the Building.
22. At the time Plaintiff and Defendant executed the Lease,
Defendant had been living in the Premises for approximately six
months.
23. Prior to executing the Lease, Plaintiff had visited and
inspected the Premises, commenting on its cleanliness and on
Defendant's decorating style.
24. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into the written Lease
based upon the then existing condition of the Premises.
25. Plaintiff is estopped from asserting the Premises were
redelivered to Plaintiff in a condition worse than they were in
at the time of the commencement of the Lease and the time
Defendant took initial occupancy.
26. Plaintiff is estopped from alleging damages against
Defendant that existed prior to Defendant taking occupancy or
prior to Plaintiff and Defendant executing the Lease.
27. Throughout the term of the Lease, Plaintiff or her
agents entered the Premises at least once per month during
Defendant's tenancy to show the apartment for pest control,
-'
"< '
i--fr.""'~

_'M
-I.
-
.,w.i..'~ ~,.""",, "~""'t'n::J,;
,
maintenance or to recharge fire extinguishers and often commented
on its acceptability.
28. At no time prior to Defendant vacating the Premises did
Plaintiff or any of her agents notify Defendant of any problems
regarding damages to the Premises.
29. In fact, Plaintiff entered Defendant's Premises one
month prior to Defendant vacating the Premises in order to show
it to a prospective tenant and thereafter made no complaint to
Defendant.
30. It is believed and therefore averred that regardless of
the condition of the apartment upon Defendant's vacancy,
Plaintiff intended to withhold Defendant's Security Deposit and
charge Defendant for remodeling the apartment as the new tenant
for the apartment was to be Plaintiff's daughter.
31. It is believed and therefore averred that Plaintiff has
undertaken a pattern of such behavior in the past with other
tenants.
32. At the time Defendant took possession of the Premises,
Plaintiff made similar allegations against a former tenant in a
second floor apartment in order to remodel that apartment.
33. No complaints were made to Defendant until after
vacating the apartment and relinquishing control.
34. Prior to vacating the apartment, Defendant specifically
requested Plaintiff in writing to perform a walk-through
inspection with Defendant to advise of any potential damages
which may need attention, which request was denied by Plaintiff.
f.Wi;-lJl.d& '. I~,
--
-I
~ bRi- - ,
'tAj-jtil!r"3iWiP;
35. As a result of Plaintiff's refusal to conduct the
inspection, Defendant contacted a home inspector who performed a
walk-through of the Premises on the day in which Defendant
vacated the Premises.
36. Approximately one week before vacating the Premises,
Defendant had the carpets in every room of the Premises steam-
cleaned as a courtesy to Plaintiff.
37. Plaintiff's Motion to Amend states that Plaintiff is
incurring cost to remodel the Premises and not to repair damages
allegedly caused by Defendant.
38. Defendant was verbally questioned regarding alleged
damage to carpet in the Premises and thereafter requested a
meeting at the Premises with Plaintiff to address any damage
issues.
39. At that meeting, Plaintiff made no mention of any other
damages now listed in Plaintiff's Complaint, despite the ability
to address each issue with Defendant at that time.
40. Defendant's list of damages has increased since the
time of the meeting between Plaintiff and Defendant which
occurred approximately six days after Defendant vacated.
41. Plaintiff's claim is barred by Plaintiff's failure to
provide thirty days' notice of the list of damages pursuant to
the Pennsylvania Landlord/Tenant Act.
42. Plaintiff's action is barred by Plaintiff's waiver of
all preexisting conditions known at the time of execution of the
written Lease.

43. Plaintiff wrongfully withheld Defendant's Security
Deposit.
44. Plaintiff's claim is barred by the operation of law as
set forth in 68 P.S. 250-512(b).
45. It is believed and therefore averred that the
individuals providing estimates for Plaintiff are personal
friends and/or long-time agents and employees of Plaintiff and
are thereby providing exaggerated and/or fraudulent estimates for
repairs which are not necessary.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to enter Judgment in favor of Defendant and against
Plaintiff, thereby dismissing Plaintiff's Complaint together with
costs of suit and attorneys fees.
COUNT I: BREACH OF CONTRACT

Court to enter Judgment in favor of Defendant and against
Plaintiff together with costs of suit and attorneys fees.
