By letter dated March 15, 1994, again through legal counsel, Plaintiff advised Defendant that the Defendant had until June 10, 1994, to vacate the premises. Again, in May of 1994, Defendant was reminded that he WIlS to vacate the premises on or before June 10, 1994, or face eviction proceedings. When Defendant failed to vacate the premises on or before June 10, 1994, the Plaintiff instituted an action in ejectment before Distril:t .lustice Farner and obtained judgment for possession and unpaid rent. The Defendant appealed that decision to this Court. The basic defenses raised by the Defendant in the pleadings in this case are that the Plaintiff, by accepting rent from the Defendant after the giving of notice of termination but before the June 10, 1994, termination date, accepted an extension of the Lease for another year term. Also, Defendant claims that the acceptance of rent by the Plaintiff was a waiver of tho termination previously stated. Plaintiff denies that any such intent ever existed and points out that the correspondence from Plaintiff and his representatives consistently indicated to the Defendant he was expected to leave on or before June 10, 1994, and no rent was accepted for any term beyond that point in time. - 2 - II. .TAT....n 0' BASIC 'ACTS A' TO DNlAG.S The relief sought by the plaintiff in this proceeding is essentially an action for possession of property. Thlllre is a request that the Defendant pay the fair rental value of the property for the time period that he has unjustifiably stayed on the property contrary to the termination subsequent to June 10, 1994. Plaintiff has estimated the fair market value rental of the premises to be $500 per month. III. PRINCIPAL ISSUES AS TO LIABILITY AND DAMAGES A. prinO~Dal I..u.. a. to Liabilitv 1. Is plaintiff entitled to an Order for possession of the subject premises by reason of having properly terminated the Lease? 2. Did Plaintiff's acceptance of rent for the month of May 1994 extend the Lease beyond the June 10, 1994 termination date previously given? 3. Did the acceptance of rent by Plaintiff for May 1994 constitute a wavier of any termination of which Defendant was previously notified? - 3 - ... -..

The lease between Plaintiff'S predecessor in title and Defendant was a year-to-year lease beginning on the first day of April 1990 and the lease waives the usual notice to quit and provides that the tenant agrees to surrender the premises at the expiration of the term of the lease without any notice whatsoever. 7.

By letter dated May 19, 1994, Plaintiff's counsel again reminded Donald Vernet he was expected to leave the premises on or before June 10, 1994, or he would face legal proceedings. 10. When Defendant refused to vacate the premises as requested on or before June 10, 1994, the Plaintiff instituted an action for possession based on the termination of the lease before District Justice Glenn Farner. 11. After a hearing on June 30, 1994, District Justice Farner entered an Order for possession in favor of the Plaintiff and against the Defendant, which Order was dated July 7, 1994. 3 12. On or about July 29, 1994, Defendant Vernet appealed Distriot Justice Farner's Order, thereby requiring Plaintiff to file the instant complaint. 13. Defendant continues to refuse to vacate the premises despite the written notices giv~n to him by the Plaintiff beginning in March 1994 and continuing through May of 1994. 14. Under the terms of the leaso, Exhibit "B," Plaintiff is entitled to possession of the that portion of the Warden Farm J.n sil vet' spr ing Township, cumberland county, Pennsylvania, occupied by the Defendant under the lease agreement of April 1, 1990. 15. By reason of the aforesaid, plaintiff is entitled to and hereby seeks an Order for possession of the property known as the Warden Farm in Silver spring Township, cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 16. By reason of Defendant's refusal to vacate the premises upon expiration of the lease, Plaintiff is also entitled to the fair rental value of the property for each month beyond tho agreed upon lease term that Defendant occupies the subject premises, which fair rental value equals $500.00 per month. 4 ........... . , .IDUCIARY WARRAHTY DIID "J/1 /), ' TB18 IlmlnUU 18 made the /.1' day of ,AI./'.J!:'J f , 1992, between UOUH Bllmn., as Executor of the 18TATI O.

Our clients have been reviewing the future use and development of the farm property, and have concluded that for the foreseeable future they wish to occupy the premises fully by themselves, excepting only for their frJ,end to whom they intend to sell a plot of land on the other side of willow Mill Road. Therefore, they have requested that I provide you with this notice that you should make suitable arrangements to vacate the premises which are now under lease to you. They will try to be accommodating with respect to the termination of your tenancy, and will seriously consider any reasonable time which you might propose. However, after March of 1991, your tenancy became a month-to-month one, and technically speaking only 30 days notice would be required. I trust you will contact me soon to indicate when you would expect to vacate the premises. Very truly yours, ~ ~~~~ Rona~d M.
