LEISURE T/A : PENNSYLVANIA VILLAGE ASSOCIATES, a Pennsylvania : general partnership, : CIVIL ACTION - IN EJECTMENT Plaintiff : No: 14-563 CIVIL v. • TARA SMYSER, • Defendant COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiff is VILLAGE ASSOCIATES, a Pennsylvania general partnership, comprised of four adult individuals, Robert V. Gothier, Sr., Jack R. Leisure, Ronald M. Katzman, and Bradley C. Leisure. 2. Plaintiff Village Associates has its principal place of business located at 1000 Front Street, Suite 500, Wormleysburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17050, and is the owner of certain property know as Hampden Village Mobile Home Park located in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 3. Defendant Tara Smyser is an adult individual who since September 2001, has resided in a mobile home located in the Hampden Village Mobile Home Park, with an address of 420 Wren Court, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050 (hereafter the "Premises"). 4. On or about March 18, 2011, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a new written lease (the "Lease") for the Premises for an initial term of one month. A true and correct copy of the Lease for the Premises is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit"A". {00685083;v2} • 5. On March 18, 2011, Defendant also received and acknowledged in writing that she had received a copy of the updated Rules and Regulations for Hampden Village Mobile Home Park, which Rules were made part of the Lease, and which Defendant was required to abide by as a Lessee in Hampden Village. A copy of the Rules are attached hereto as Exhibit"B", and incorporated herein by reference. 6. Pursuant to the Lease, Exhibit"A", Defendant remained in possession of the Premises on March 18, 2011, and Defendant has remained in possession of the Premises ever since that time. 7. The Lease and Rules and Regulations, Exhibits "A" and"B", at various places require Defendant to keep her mobile home and the lot on which it sits in good condition and repair and clear of clutter. 8. The Rules and Regulations, Exhibit"B", at paragraph 7 specifically limit Lessees to one shed per lot. The Rules at paragraph 7 further provide that if a space has more than one shed existing on the lot at the time the Rules are made effective the Lessee would have one year in which to remove such extra shed. 9. Defendant brought or caused to be brought onto her lot at 420 Wren Court, a second shed sometime during 2010, which shed still remains on Defendant's lot, despite the fact that more than one year has elapsed March 18, 2011,the date on which the new Rules and Regulations, Exhibit "B" became effective. 10. On November 8, 2012, Plaintiff's Property Manager sent to Defendant by certified mail a Notice of Rule Violation advising Defendant that she was in violation of her Lease due to her failure to keep her lot at 420 Wren Court in good condition and because she had 2 {00685083;v2} brought a second shed onto the property after moving into the Premises, all of which violated Defendant's Lease and the Rules and Regulations for Hampden Village. A copy of said Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit"C". 11. On March 21, 2013, Plaintiff's Property Manager sent to Defendant by certified mail a second Notice of Rule Violation advising Defendant that she was in violation of her Lease and the Rules and Regulation in that her property was an eyesore with numerous items cluttering her lot and because she had failed to remove the second shed that she had brought onto the property. A copy of said Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit"D". 12. On April 24, 2013, Plaintiff's Property Manager sent to Defendant by certified mail a third Notice of Rule Violation that Defendant was in violation of her Lease due to her failure to clean up numerous items on her property and because she had failed to remove the second shed that she had brought onto the property. A copy of said Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit"E". 13. On October 17, 2013, Plaintiff's Property Manager sent to Defendant by certified mail yet another notice that the condition of her lot continued to be in violation of her Lease and that Defendant continued to violate her Lease due to her failure to remove the second shed that she had brought onto the property. A copy of said Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit"F". 14. The notice of October 17, 2013, advised Defendant that she would be evicted due to her Lease violations. 15. Paragraph 21 of Defendant's Lease provides that Lessor is entitled to collect from a defaulting Lessee its court costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys fees incurred as a result of a violation of the Rules and Regulations or incurred in enforcing the terms of the Lease. 3 {00685083;v2} 16. By virtue of Defendant's failure to comply with the terms of the Lease and the applicable Rules and Regulations, Defendant is in breach of her obligations under the Lease. That breach is a continuing breach that has gone uncorrected from November 2012, through to the present time, despite numerous demands by Plaintiff that Defendant cure said breach. COUNT I—IN EJECTMENT 17. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1-16 inclusive are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth at length. 18. Under the Lease, Plaintiff may bring any appropriate action against Defendant for violation of the Lease and Rules, and Defendant is made liable to Lessor for Lessor-Plaintiff's costs and expenses, including its reasonable attorney's fee, incurred in taking action. 19. By virtue of Defendant's breach of her obligations under her Lease and the applicable Rules and Regulations, Plaintiff has termination Defendant's Lease, and the Plaintiff is entitled to possession and therefore seeks an Order of possession of the Premises. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Village Associates demands judgment against Defendant Smyser for possession of the Premises at 420 Wren Court, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, along with judgment for the amount of Plaintiff's attorneys fees and costs of suit incurred in bringing and pursuing the instant action continuing through to the time of trial.
