Defendant
DEFENDANT SANDRA WIRTH'S ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER
TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW COMES Defendant, Sandra Wirth, by and through her attorneys, Shumaker
Williams, P.C., to state the following Answer to Plaintiff's Complaint:
1. Admitted with clarification. Plaintiff's registered business address is 1441 Raven
Hill Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that the property at issue in this
action is located at 1429 Raven Hill Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
(the "Property"). Any characterization of the Property as "leased premises" is denied as there is
no lease agreement between Plaintiff and Defendant, Sandra Wirth ("Wirth").
4. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Plaintiff is the title owner
of the Property. It is denied that Plaintiff is the "landlord" and that the Property is a "leased
premises."
5. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff leased the Property to Wirth pursuant to an oral
lease that began on August 1, 2006. It is further denied that such alleged oral lease was for a
month-to-month tenancy for a term of less than three (3) years.
6. Denied. It is denied that Wirth was responsible to pay rent in the amount of
$1,064.00 per month from August 1, 2006 forward, and further denied that any such oral lease
was entered into by the parties.
7. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that Wirth has not paid rent for any
month from September 2006 to the present. However, Plaintiff agreed to permit Wirth to reside
in the Property without payment of rent, and Wirth did so without objection from Plaintiff for
over four (4) years.
8. Denied. The letter attached to Plaintiff's Complaint as Exhibit "A" is a written
document which speaks for itself, and any characterization of the same is denied.
9. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Wirth is in possession of
the Property. It is unknown what Plaintiff means by "refuses to give up possession" of the
Property, and therefore such statement is denied. By way of further answer, other than the letter
attached to Plaintiff's Complaint as Exhibit "A," Wirth has never been asked to "give up
possession' 'of the Property.
10. Denied. It is denied that the amount of rent due and owing to Plaintiff is
$32,984.00 for 31 consecutive months from September 2006 through April 2009, and further
denied that rent will continue to accrue at the rate of $1,064.00 per month.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Sandra Wirth, respectfully requests this Honorable Court to
enter judgment in her favor and against Plaintiff, W&S Builders, Inc., along with any other relief
this Court deems appropriate.

NEW MATTER
11. Wirth is the former step-mother of Plaintiff's purported President, Kenneth Wirth.
12. In or about 2004, Frank Wirth, Wirth's ex-husband and Kenneth Wirth's father,
purchased the Property on behalf of Plaintiff.
13. Upon information and belief, Frank Wirth, acting for Plaintiff, planned to
purchase the Property using his own funds and live in the Property, while titling the Property to
Plaintiff so that Plaintiff would ultimately benefit from the expected substantial appreciation on
the Property.
14. Although the Property was titled to Plaintiff, upon information and belief, Frank
Wirth used his own funds to personally pay the mortgage and other obligations related to the
Property.
15. In or about summer 2005, Frank Wirth invited Wirth to move into the Property
with him because Wirth was experiencing serious medical issues and needed assistance with
day-to-day care.
16. Wirth was not required to pay rent under the terms of this arrangement.
17. In or about May 2006, Frank Wirth moved out of the Property, but indicated, on
behalf of Plaintiff, that Wirth could remain in the Property without paying rent.
18. Plaintiff, by and through Frank Wirth, its authorized employee, officer, director,
agent and/or shareholder, promised Wirth that she could live in the Property rent-free for the rest
of her life.
19. Plaintiffs current purported President, Kenneth Wirth, knew of and impliedly
consented to this arrangement.
3
20. Wirth has lived in the Property in reliance on her arrangement with Plaintiff for
approximately four (4) years.
21. Based on Plaintiff's representations, Wirth moved into the Property and made at
least $50,000.00 in improvements to the Property, including but not limited to the renovation of
two (2) bathrooms and the replacement of the driveway.
22. Plaintiff performed no maintenance on the Property during Wirth's possession of
the Property, with the exception of twice removing snow from the driveway and once cutting the
grass.
23. Except for the above, Plaintiff undertook no maintenance with respect to the
Property.
24. To the contrary, Wirth, along with Frank Wirth, performed all of the maintenance
on the Property and made substantial improvements.
25. Plaintiff did not demand rent from Wirth until on or about November 12, 2008,
more than four (4) years after Wirth moved into the Property.
26. No oral or written lease agreement was entered into between the parties
27. Even if such a monthly lease existed, the terms of the lease did not include
payment of $1,064.00.
28. Other than its bald assertion that an oral lease existed, Plaintiff points to no facts
which otherwise suggest that such an arrangement was agreed upon.
29. The amount Plaintiff alleges was agreed upon as a monthly payment grossly
exceeds Wirth's current monthly income, in the amount of approximately $666.00 from Social
Security, and therefore it is contrary to logic that she would have agreed to pay such amount.
4
30. It is believed and therefore averred that Plaintiff's purported President, Kenneth
Wirth, is taking action against Wirth at this time with the purpose to harass or annoy Wirth, in
part because of ongoing disagreements between Kenneth Wirth and his father, Frank Wirth, who
is Wirth's ex-husband.
31. Indeed, as recently as approximately April 13, 2009, Plaintiff's purported
President, Kenneth Wirth, indicated verbally to Wirth his desire for Wirth to remain in the
Property for the rest of her life without payment of rent.
32. Plaintiff is now trying to vary the terms of the agreement it made with Wirth by
forcing Wirth to pay rent in amounts that Wirth did not agree, nor could have agreed, based on
her monthly income.

SANDRA WIRTH
Defendant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
: NO. 09-2729
: CIVIL ACTION
ANSWER TO NEW MATTER
11. Admitted.
12. Denied. Plaintiff W&S Builders, Inc. (hereinafter "W&S") purchased the
property.
13. Denied. W&S purchased the property for the express purpose of reselling the
property for a profit. Frank Wirth did not use any of his own funds to purchase the property.
The property was purchased using W&S's funds. Only after W&S purchased the property did
Frank Wirth decide to move into the property.
14. Denied. Frank Wirth paid rent to W&S by paying the monthly mortgage amounts
as they became due for the period of time he lived at the property and also paid other expenses
related to his use of the property. W&S denies the suggestion or inference that Frank Wirth was
purchasing the property for his own use.
15. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
16. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further answer, Frank
Wirth continued to pay rent to W&S by paying the monthly mortgage amounts as they became
due during this period of time for his use of the property until approximately July 2006.
17. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further Answer, Frank
Wirth did not have authority to agree on behalf of W&S that Sandra Wirth could live in the
property rent-free, and W&S did not agree to any such arrangement.
18. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of further Answer, Frank
Wirth did not have authority to agree on behalf of W&S that Sandra Wirth could live in the
property rent-free, and W&S did not agree to any such arrangement.
19. Denied. Plaintiff denies that its President, Ken Wirth, knew of or agreed to any
alleged arrangement between Frank Wirth and Sandra Wirth whereby Sandra Wirth would be
allowed to remain in the Property free of rent for life. W&S Builders, Inc. is in the business of
renting properties to generate a rental income and it therefore makes no sense that W&S
Builders, Inc. or its President, Ken Wirth, would agree to permit someone to live it one of its
properties rent free for life. Plaintiff denies that Frank Wirth had the authority to bind W&S
Builders, Inc. to such an arrangement.
20. Denied as stated. Plaintiff admits only that Sandra Wirth has lived in the Property
for approximately four years.
21. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. Further, Defendant does not
specifically describe what "representations" it alleges Plaintiff made that Defendant relied upon.
As such, Plaintiff denies that it made any representations to Defendant other than Defendant
would have to pay rent in the amount of $1,064 per month as of August 2006.
22. Denied. W&S has removed the snow any time such removal was needed from the
time W&S purchased the property to the present. W&S has cut the grass on a regular basis from
2009 forward.
23. Denied. W&S incorporates its answer to Paragraph 22 above.
24. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded.
25. Denied. Plaintiff denies that Sandra Wirth has lived in the leased premises for
more than four years as of November 12, 2008. Further, Sandra Wirth was expected to pay rent
starting in August 2006.
26. Denied. As stated in Plaintiff's Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that an oral lease
existed between the parties.
27. Denied. As stated in the Plaintiff's Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Sandra Wirth
agreed to pay $1,064 per month.
28. Denied. Defendant makes no factual allegations in this paragraph. To the extend
Defendant makes factual allegations in this paragraph, they are denied.
29. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient information
to either confirm or deny the factual allegations of this paragraph; therefore, such factual
allegations are denied and strict proof thereof is demanded. Further, it is also contrary to logic
that W&S Builders, Inc., which is in the business of investing in rental properties, would allow
Defendant to live in the Property free of charge.
30. Denied. Plaintiff is not taking any action to harass or annoy Defendant, but rather
to remove a non-paying party from its property.
31. Denied. This allegation is completely false. Plaintiff's President, Ken Wirth
made no such statement or assertion, either on April 13, 2009 or at any other time.
32. Denied. Plaintiff made no agreement with Defendant that she could remain in the
property in perpetuity for free. Any purported agreements Defendant made with Frank Wirth
were not made with the authority of, or binding upon Plaintiff, W&S Builders, Inc.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, W&S Builders, Inc. respectfully requests this Honorable Court
to enter judgment in its favor and against Defendant, Sandra Wirth, along with such other relief
as the Court deems appropriate.
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES
No Numbered Paragraphs. Defendant sets forth numerous unnumbered affirmative
defenses. Defendant's First through Eight Affirmative Defenses set forth legal conclusions to
which no response is required.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, W&S Builders, Inc. respectfully requests this Honorable Court
to enter judgment in its favor and against Defendant, Sandra Wirth, along with such other relief
as the Court deems appropriate.
