CIVIL ACTION - LAW
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Chateau Terrace Associates, by its general partner, John
Rhodes, t/a Chateau Terrace Apartments, by and through its attorneys, Cohen Seglias Pallas
Greenhall & Furman, P.C., and files this Complaint, stating the following:
Parties and Jurisdiction
1. Plaintiff, Chateau Terrace Associates ("Chateau"), is a Pennsylvania limited
partnership whose business address is 304 North Fayette Street, Suite 500, Shippensburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Chateau's general partner is John Rhodes, and it trades and
does business under the registered fictitious name, Chateau Terrace Apartments.
2. Chateau owns and operates the apartment community known as Chateau Terrace
Apartments (the "Community") located in Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. Defendants, Clifford Hogue and Samantha Hogue, husband and wife, are adult
individuals who reside in the Community at the premises known and numbered as 304 North
Fayette Street, Suite 510, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (the "Premises").
4. Jurisdiction and venue are proper in this Court because the property that is the
subject of this action is located, Defendants reside, and Plaintiff's cause of action arose, in
Cumberland County.
5. The amount in controversy in this case does not exceed $50,000 as required by
the Cumberland County Rules regarding compulsory arbitration.
Facts Applicable to all Counts
6. Paragraphs 1 through 5 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set
forth.
7. In or about January 2011, Chateau, as landlord, and Defendants, as tenant, entered
into Rental Agreement (the "Lease") whereby Defendants leased the Premises from Chateau
under and pursuant to the terms of the Lease. A true and correct copy of the Lease is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference.
8. Defendants took possession of the Premises on or about January 14, 2011.
9. The term of the Lease is one year and eighteen days, beginning on January 14,
2011 and ending on January 31, 2012.
10. At or about the same time that they entered into the Lease, Chateau and
Defendants entered into a "Move-in Special" Lease Addendum (the "Rent Addendum"). A true
and correct copy of the Rent Addendum is attached to the Lease (Exhibit A) and is incorporated
herein by reference.
11. The rental amount payable by Defendants under the Lease is $795 per month, and
is due and payable, in advance, on the first day of each month.
2
12. In accordance with the Rent Addendum, Defendants were provided a rent
concession in the amount of $100 per month (the "Rent Concessions") for the first twelve full
months of the Lease term (i.e., February 2011 through January 2012). Thus, subject to the terms
of the Rent Addendum, Defendants were obligated to pay rent in the amount of $695.00 per
month.
13. In the event of an early termination of the lease or an eviction, the Rent
Addendum obligates Defendants to pay back the Rent Concessions they have received under the
Rent Addendum.
14. In accordance with the Lease, Defendants are obligated to pay a 10% late charge
if rent is not paid by the fifth day of each month.
15. The Lease states, in pertinent part: "Resident agrees not to have any pet or pets in
the apartment without a fully executed pet lease addendum by Landlord and Resident."
16. On or about February 7, 2011, Chateau learned that Defendants had a Huskie (the
"First Dog") living in the Premises.
17. Defendants did not seek Chateau's consent, and they did not execute a pet lease
addendum, prior to bringing the First Dog into the Premises.
18. By letter dated February 7, 2011, Chateau notified Defendants that they are in
default of the Lease for failing to obtain Chateau's consent and executing a pet lease addendum
prior to bringing the First Dog into the Premises.
19. On or about February 8, 2011, Defendants executed a Pet Lease Addendum (the
"Pet Addendum"), by which Chateau consented to Defendants having the First Dog in the
Premises. A true and correct copy of the Pet Addendum is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is
3
incorporated herein by reference. (The Lease, Rent Addendum and Pet Addendum are
sometimes collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Lease".)
20. The Pet Addendum states, in pertinent part:
[Defendants] hereby agree to comply with the following pet rules
and regulations of the [Community]. We understand that violation
[sic] of any of the rules and regulations listed below will result in
the immediate cancellation of this Pet Lease Addendum and
eviction of the pet(s) listed above.
21. Pursuant to the Pet Addendum, Defendants agreed, inter alia:
a. to pay, as additional rent, a monthly pet rental fee each month in the
amount of $25.00, which is due and payable, in advance, on the first day of each month (the "Pet
Rental Fee"),
b. to pay a 10% late charge if the monthly fee is not paid by the fifth day of
each month,
c. that only the pet(s) listed on the Pet Addendum were allowed to live in the
Premises,
d. that dogs may relieve themselves only in designated areas in the
Community and that Defendants were responsible to clean up after their pet(s), and
to pay a non-refundable Initial Pet Fee (the "Initial Pet Fee") in the
amount of $200.
22. Despite demand, Defendants have never paid the Initial Pet Fee or the Pet Rental
Fees.
23. On or about February 21, 2011, Chateau learned that Defendants had a German
Shepherd (the "Second Dog") living in the Premises.
4
24. Defendants did not seek Chateau's consent, and they did not execute a pet lease
addendum, prior to bringing the Second Dog into the Premises.
25. During the term of the Lease, among other things, Defendants have:
a. failed, on repeated occasions, to pay rent, as and when due,
b. repeatedly created boisterous and disturbing conditions that interfered with
other residents' quiet enjoyment of their apartments,
c. repeatedly allowed unauthorized residents to reside in the Premises,
d. repeatedly invited into the Community and Premises persons who had
been banned from the Community by Plaintiff,
e. allowed an unauthorized dog to be in the Premises, unattended for a long
period of time, which created a nuisance for other residents in the Community,
f. painted vulgar and offensive words on one of their vehicles that was kept
in the Community,
g. kept uninspected and unregistered vehicles in the Community, and
h. failed to clean up after their dogs.
(The foregoing, together with the actions described in paragraphs 15 - 24 hereof relating to the
Pet Addendum violations, are collectively referred to in this Complaint as "Defendants'
Actions")
26. On March 25, 2011, Chateau filed a Landlord and Tenant Complaint against
Defendants in the office of Magisterial District Judge Harold E. Bender (Mag.Dist.No. 09-3-01),
docketed to LT 39-11 (the "March LT").
5
27. After judgment was entered on the March LT in favor of Chateau, Chateau
incurred constable costs in the amount of $128.10 (the "Constable Costs"), which are due and
payable to Chateau from Defendants.
28. On May 6, 2011, Chateau initiated this action by filing a Landlord and Tenant
Complaint against Defendants in the office of Magisterial District Judge Harold E. Bender
(Mag.Dist.No. 09-3-01), docketed to LT 53-11 (the "May LT"), seeking possession of the
Premises and certain amounts owed by Defendants.
29. After judgment was entered on the May LT, partially in favor of Chateau, which
included court costs to Chateau in the amount of $132.60 (the "May LT Court Costs"), but did
not grant possession to Chateau, Chateau appealed to this Court.
30. By initiating this action, Chateau has terminated, or seeks to terminate, the Lease.
Count I - Breach of Contract
Money Damages
31. Paragraphs 1 through 30 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set
forth.

34. Chateau has fully performed all of its obligations under the Lease.
35. The Lease does not require any notice of default.
36. As a result of Defendant's material breach of the Lease, Chateau has suffered

6

45. As a consequence of the foregoing, Defendants have no rights to remain in
possession of the Premises.
46. Accordingly, Chateau is entitled to recover possession of the Premises from
