at Shippensburg University, being a student at Shippensburg University was not a condition precedent of

Complaint to the Plaintiff on or about June 29, 2011.
26. Denied. Plaintiff had no legal or contractual duty to mitigate damages caused by

by Defendant's breach, Plaintiff did include the Defendant's apartment on a list of vacant units which is
made available to students who need last-minute housing.
A. Although it is admitted that Plaintiff could have leased the premises after
Defendant's breach, Plaintiff had no legal or contractual duty to do so.
B. It is admitted that the apartment that Defendant leased has remained and continues
to remain vacant during the term of Defendant's lease. However, as previously stated, Plaintiff had no
legal or contractual duty to mitigate damages caused by Defendant's breach.
28. Denied for the reasons set forth in Plaintiff s responses to Paragraphs 26 and 27.
29. Denied. Plaintiff is entitled to all sums due under the lease. Further, the installment
payment for the Spring semester was due on November 1, 2011 pursuant to the terms of the lease.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff
and against Defendant in the amount of Four Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Eight Dollars ($4,228.00)

29 of Plaintiffs Reply are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth herein.
31. Denied. Defendant paid to Plaintiff a non-refundable reservation fee in the amount of

Defendant when he breached the terms of the lease.
