2. Admitted.
3. Admitted upon information and belief.
4. Admitted in part and denied in parL It is admitted that the parties entered into a

constitute a conclusion of law to which no response is required. To the extent that a response is

NEW MATTER
6. Defendant, Danna Kiser-Hockman incorporates herein by reference, as if fully set
forth at length, her Answer, New Matter and Counterclaim, Paragraph Nos. 1-5, inclusive, as
hereinabove set forth.
7. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written lease for the premises located at 110

10. For approximately the last eleven (11) years, Plaintiff has been notified of, yet
failed to repair, a central support beam under the living room of the residence.
11. Failure to repair the central support beam has caused the floor to drop
approximately two (2) inches or more causing the floor and wall in certain areas to not come
together.
12. Defendant has had to cram insulation in the areas where the floor and wall did not
meet to prevent cold air from entering the living area.
13. Plaintiff was notified by Defendant in September 1999 of sewage seeping in
backyard of the leasehold premises and did not begin repairs until July 2000 which were
completed around October 2000.
14. During the three (3) months that repairs were taking place in the sewage system,
Defendant could not use the upstairs bathroom toilet, sink, tub or kitchen sink.
15. Since on or about October 2000, Defendant notified Plaintiff and/or his agents
regarding upstairs toilet overflows and upstairs bath plumbing not draining properly.
16. The upstairs water problems since October 2000, caused portions of the dining
room ceiling to come down.
17. The water from the unrepaired drainage problem over the dining room damaged
the Defendant by way of warping the dining room set, and rental of rog cleaners/scrubbers and
disinfecting carpeting up and downstairs.

19. Plaintiff was notified of leaking kitchen sink since on or about October 2000,

provided her with a list of damages indicating why her security deposit was not returned.

the approximate amount of $2,599.84.
COUNTERCLAIM
COUNT 1 - BREACH OF IMPLIED WARRANTY OF HABITABILITY
32. Defendant, Danna Kiser-Hockman incorporates herein by reference, as if fully set
forth at length, her Answer, New Matter and Counterclaim, paragraph Nos. 1-31, inclusive, as
hereinabove set forth.
33. Defendant notified Plaintiff and/or Plaintiff's workmen or agents on numerous
occasions of conditions that would render the leasehold uninhabitable, namely, leaking pipes and
holes in ceilings, holes in floors, sewage problems, floor sagging more than two inches due to
broken central support beam.
34. Plaintiff failed to repair defects and dangerous conditions within reasonable
periods of time after notification.
35. Plaintiff's failure to repair defects and dangerous conditions within reasonable
periods of time resulted in damage to Defendant's property in the approximate amount of
$2,100.00.
36.
37.
Defendant continued to pay full rent of $600.00 per month during those periods.
Plaintiff's failure to repair said defects and dangerous conditions within a
reasonable period of time after notification by Defendant is a breach of the implied warranty of
habitability.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that judgment be entered in her favor
for damages incurred by Plaintiff' s breach of the implied warranty of habitability in an amount to
be determined based upon a reduction in the fair market rental value of the leasehold premises
during the time period such warranty was breached and in the amount of $2,100.00 for damage to
Defendant's property as a direct result of Plaintiff's failure to repair and other such relief as this
Honorable Court deems appropriate.
COUNT 2 - BREACH OF CONTRACT
38. Defendant, Darma Kiser-Hockman incorporates herein by reference, as if fully set
forth at length, her Answer, New Matter and Counterclaim, Paragraph Nos. 1-37 inclusive, as
hereinabove set forth.
39. The subject lease calls for the Plaintiff to pay utilities related to water and sewer
service at the leasehold premises.
40. The subject lease calls for the Plaintiff to provide for snow removal of the
driveway.
41.
Plaintiff failed to pay the utilities related to water and sewer since on or about
1995.
42. Plaintiff's failure to pay the utilities related to water and sewer is a breach of the
contract.
43. Defendant had paid the utilities related to water and sewer since on or about 1995
through March of 2003, in the approximate amount of $2,599.84.
44. Plaintiffhas failed to provide snow removal of the driveway for approximately the
last six (6) years.
45. Plaintiff's failure to provide snow removal of the driveway is a breach of the
contract.
46.
Defendant has provided and/or paid for snow removal of the driveway for
approximately the last six (6) years.
47. Defendant's approximate cost for snow removal of the driveway for the last six
(6) years is $600.00.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that judgment be entered in her favor
for damages incurred by Plaintiff's breach of contract in the amount of $3,199.84 plus interest,
representing amounts paid by Defendant due to Plaintiff' s breach and other such relief as this
Honorable Court deems appropriate.
COUNT 3 - SECURITY DEPOSIT
48. Defendant, Danna Kiser-Hockman incorporates herein by reference, as if fully set
forth at length, her Answer, New Matter and Counterclaim, Paragraph Nos. 1-47, inclusive, as
hereinabove set forth.
49. Plaintiff held Defendant's security deposit of $600.00 since on or about
September 15, 1991.
50. 68 P.S. §250.511 a, provides in pertinent part, "the escrow funds together with
interest shall be returned to the tenant.".
51. 68 P.S. §250.51 lb, provides in pertinent part, "all funds over one hundred dollars
($100) deposited with a lessor to secure the execution of a rental agreement on residential
property in accordance with section 511.1 ... shall be deposited in an escrow account of an
institution... The provisions of this section shall apply only after the second anniversary of the
deposit of escrow funds."
52. The two-year anniversary of the initial security deposit was on or about September
15,1993.
53.
It is believed and therefore averred that Plaintiff did not deposit Defendant's
security deposit into an interest-bearing account.
54. Plaintiff did not notify Defendant of deposit of escrow funds per 68 P.S.
§250.511b.
55. 68 P.S. §250.512 provides that the landlord shall provide a written list of damages
and~or return the tenant's security deposit, with interest, where applicable, within thirty days of
acceptance of the leasehold premises.
56. 68 P.S. §250.512, provides that failure to return the security deposit shall render
the landlord liable for double the sum deposited in escrow.
57. Plaintiff has failed to provide Defendant with a list of damages to the leasehold
premises allegedly caused by Defendant.
58. Plaintiff has failed to return to Defendant her security deposit with interest within
thirty (30) days of accepting the leasehold premises.
59. Plaintiff is therefore in violation of 68 P.S. §250.512.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests twelve hundred dollars ($1,200.00) representing
statutory damages of double the security deposit per 68 P.S. §250.512; and interest at the legal
rate on the $600.00 security deposit calculated from September 15, 1993 until present and other
such relief as this Honorable Court deems appropriate.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests this Honorable Court grant Defendant judgment
against the Plaintiff and award monetary damages to Defendant in an amount not less than Six
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,500.00) and any and all other such relief as this Honorable
Court deems appropriate.
