Re: Our File No. 284-12
Dear Mr. Nicoll:
By letter. dated Apri124, 2012, I wrote to you concerning your improper holdover a a
former month-to-month tenant on property owned by Lois Gleim. As you were also advis c
in the past, the rental payments that you owed to Ms. Gleim are in and continue to be in
arrears. That monthly payment of $675 was not paid for September, October or December
2011. We advised you that you were $2,025 in arrears.
I understand that last week you tendered a check to Ms. Gleim with the notation
"April, May rent." Please be advised that this check was not accepted for the payment of
April or May 2012 rent as you have previously been advised that you are not an authorize
tenant. In fact, you had previously agreed to vacate the property by March 1, 2012; an
agreement you failed to meet. Ms. Gleim has accepted your payment of $1,350 for the rent
arrearage for September and October 2011. You continue to be in arrears for the month of
December 2011. Your failure to remove yourself from the property by March 1, 2012, will
cause Ms. Gleim to seek damages for your improper holdover for the months of March, Al
and Mav as well as damages to the physical property you have caused and failed to cure.
I would again invite you to call me at your earliest convenience so that we can worl
out an amicable resolution to these issues including a departure schedule in which you wi

PRELIMINARY OBTECTIONS TO COMPLAINT
NO~',_comes the Defendant, Chris Nicoll, by his attorney, Nathan C. Wolf, l~sduire, and
presents the following preliminary objections, representing as follows:
1. The plaintiff is Lois Gleim (hereinafter referred to as "Plaintifp'), an adult individual residing
at 101 McClwre's Gap Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. The defendant is Chris Nicoll d~/b/a Nicoll Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as
"Defendant";, an adult individual residing at 2107 Circle Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 1.7013.
3. On or about August 13, 2012, Plaintiff filed the instant complaint alleging damages for
breach of contract arising out of an oral lease for a commercial structure seeking damages from the
Defendant.
4. On or about October 19, 2012, Plaintiff served notice of intention to take default judgment
upon the undersigned.
PRELIMINARY OBTECTIONS TO
COUNT I -BREACH OF CONTRACT
5. The foregoing paragraphs are incorporate by reference as if set forth fully herein.
6. Plaintiff correctly identifies that the nature of her agreement with Defendant was oral in
nature only.
7. Plainiifl= and Defendant had no agreement with .regard to counsel fees arising out of their
oral agreement.
8. Nonetheless, Plaintiff raises a claim for counsel fees within her complaint, included in the
judgment awarded by the lower court.
9. There is no basis in law or fact which entitles Plaintiff to counsel fees.
11). Plaintiff fails to aver any facts sufficient to establish such a claim.
11. ~~s sach that Plaintiff's claim for counsel fees is legally insufficient and that portion of her
claim should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted (demurrer).
12. PlauitifE also raises a claim for damages in excess of $20,000.00 for unspecified damages
allegedly incurred by Defendant's actions.
13. Plaintiff fails to provide any specificity in her complaint for the amount of damages claimed
and Defendant is therefore without any means to adequately defend the claim for damages.
1 ~ . Plaintiff likewise avers without any facts in support thereof, that damages suffered to her
property were as the result of some sort of improper usage of the property.
15. Plaintiff s claim thus lacks sufficient specificity as it lacks sufficient facts to establish her
claims against the Defendant.
16. Plavitiff's complaint should be dismissed for violations of Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(3) and
1028 (a) (4).
WHEREFORE, Defendant Chris Nicoll, requests your Honorable Court to dismiss the Complaint
the Plaintiff along with any additional relief the Court deems appropriate and just.
Respectfully bmitted,
