(Order attached hereto as Exhibit "D").
9. Despite the existence of said Order giving Plaintiff until September 18, 2004 to
remove himself and his possessions from the premises, Defendant changed the locks,
preventing Plaintiff from obtaining his possessions.

be returned to him from the Defendants or that, if unavailable, Plaintiff be awarded

No. 04-5512 Civil Term
LANDLORD/TENANT
ANSWER TO PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
1. MOTIONS TO STRIKE FOR FAILURE TO CONFORM TO RULE OF LAW
OR RULE OF COURT
1. Denied. Plaintiff has stated in a concise and brief form those items belonging
to him that were wrongfully taken from him by the Defendant. Further denied that the
claim is based on a writing. It is based on the wrongful action of the Defendant in taking
personal property that belongs to the Plaintiff, not the Defendant.
2. Denied. Paragraphs 1-12 of Plaintiff's Complaint set forth those facts upon
which Plaintiff's claim is based, namely the taking of Plaintiffs personalty by the
Defendant, without right, title, or interest to do so.
3. Denied. Plaintiff's Complaint sets forth all of the conditions precedent to his
claim for a wrongful taking of his possessions by the Defendant.
II. DEMURRER
1. Denied. Plaintiff has set forth all of the elements of an action in Replevin
contained in Pa.R.C.P. No 1073.1.
2. Denied. Defendant knew of Plaintiff's presence at the ]eased premises and, as
a result, the presence of his personal property. Defendant's holding of this property and
his refusal to return it to the Plaintiff, is wrongful.
III. MOTION FOR MORE SPECIFIC PLEADING
1. Denied. The Complaint sets forth that the Defendant wrongfully appropriated
personal property that did not belong to him, but to the Plaintiff.
2. Denied. Assuming Defendant meant to list Paragraph 11, not four, Plaintiff s
listing of items in Paragraph four is sufficient to apprise the Defendant of which items are
requested so that an answer can be prepared.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that Defendants' Preliminary Objections be
overruled, and that Defendant be required to file an Answer to Plaintiff s Complaint.
Respectfully submitted:
