CIVIL ACTION LAW
BRIEF m SUPPORT OF THE MOTION fOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
The Defendants, Ross Keefer and Patricia Keefer, hlw, by and through their counsel.
Harrington, Kauffinan & Shilling, hereby submits the following Briefin support of the Motion for
Summary Judgment.
I. mSTORY OF THE CASE:
The Plaintiff, Lea Ann Wray, commenced the instant action against the Defendants Ross
Keefer and Patricia Keefer, hlw (Keefer), et aI. on August 2, 1994 alleging she was injured on or
about August 3, 1993 when she was bitten by a dog owned by Defendants Atkins and Wenger.
Defendants Atkins and Wenger had rented the premises known as 4477 ~ East King St. in
Shippensburg from Defendant Keefer on January 31, 1992. The lease agreement entered into
between Defendants Keefer and Atkins and Wenger, specifically set forth the requirement that no
t.
pel. were allowed on the property. Contrary to thi.leue agreement, Defendant. Atkina and
Wenger had the dog which i. the subject matter ofthi. cue.
Upon learning of tho dog'. presence on the leased premises, Defendant. Keefer, through
their agent I, Defendant. ReMax Homefindcrs, filed an action on June 22, 1992 against Atkins and
Wenger. On July 22, 1992, District Justice Donald W. Daihl entered an order which stated, inlm:
IIiI. that the dog wu to be removed from the property. This wu approximately 11 days prior to
the incident complained of in Plaintifr s Complaint.
PlaintifFWray contends that she wu injured during the course and scope of her
employment u a meter reader for PennElec when she entered the premises leased by Atkins and
Wenger in order or read their electric meter. As the result of these alleged injuries, she has filed
the instant Complaint.
Defendants Keefer have filed a responsive pleading to this Complaint and have now filed
this Motion for Summary Judgment u landlords out of possession.
II. OUESTION PRESENTED:
WHETHER SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD BE ISSUED TO THE
DEFENDANTS ROSS KEEFER AND PATRICIA KEEFER, H1W, AS LANDLORDS OUT OF
POSSESSION?
SUGGESTED ANSWER: YES.
III. ARGUMENT:
In considering a motion for summary judgment, the Court is not to resolve any genuine
issues of material facts. Its sole responsibility is to dctennine whether such an issue exists. Imn
Morello Canst. Co.. Inc. v. BridgCJ)ort Federal Savings & Loan Assoc.. 280 Pa. Super. 329,421
A.2d 747 (1980).
,-...-
",;;~'ljit1<M j'~I'~
Summary judgment abould not be entered unIeu the cue I. fi'eo from doubt. The moving
party mult prove that there I. no genuine ISlUe of material fact to be tried and that It I. entitled to
judgment u a matter of law and, moreover, record must be viewed In alight most favorable to the
non-moving party. All doubts to the existence oft genuine ISlUe of material fact must be reaolved
against the moving pll1y. Rlchland Mallcourt v. Kasco Const.. Inc.. 337 Pa. Super. 204,486
A.2d 978 (1984).
In the Instant cue, it Is clear from the record that the property in question was leased by
Defendants AtkinI and Wenger from Defendants Keefer. It is also clear from the record that the
Keefers did not allow their tenants to have any type of pets on the leased premises. The fact that
Defendantl Atkins and Wenger had a dog which they kept as a pet on the leased premises was In
violation of the terms ofthe lease. It Is also clear from the record that as soon as the Keefers
determined that Atkins and.Wenger had a dog on their property In violation ofthe tenns of the
lease, that they took the necessary steps through our judicial system to have the dog removed.
It is also clear from the record and the tenns of the lease, that Keefers were landlords out
of possession at the time the PlaintilfWray contends that she was injured during the course and
scope ofher employment.
A landlord out of possession might be liable for personal injuries sustained by a tenant due
to the fact that the condition of the leased premises where a landlord conceals a dangerous
condition of which he has knowledge and of which the tenant has no knowledge or cannot be
expected to discover. Looez v. Gukenback, 391 Pa. 359, 137 A.2d 771 (1958). The only time
that a landlord out of possession has liability is In the case ora multiple tentative building where
the landlord has control of common approaches such as sidewalks and passages. In the current
case, we do not have such a condition.
In Ott v. Unclaimed Freiaht Co.. 395 PI. Super. 483 577 A2d 894 (1990), the Court
found that lIand10rd had no duly to I plaintiff' who wu injured while walking across I parking lot
on rented premises where there wu no evidence that the landlord retained the right to control the
parking lot.
In the present cue, the landlords, Patricia and Ross Keefer, did not retain control of the
leased premises. Further, they specifically prohibited the leuees from maintaining any pets on the
leased premises.
Further, the leased entered into between Keefer and Defendants Wray and Atkins, only set
forth four obligations that the leuor, the Keefers, had to comply with. It wu set forth in the
lease agreement that the Keefers would comply with all codes, whether state, county or
municipal; make all repairs to keep the leased premises in a fit and habitable condition; maintain a
good and safe working order the necessary utilities in order to maintain a habitable condition; and
to keep all common areas of the leased premises in a clean and safe condition. All other duties
and obligations were upon the leaseees, Defendants Atkins and Wenger, to maintain the property
in question.
Keefers not only were landlords out of possession, but as soon as they ascertained that
Defendants Atkins and Wenger were in violation of the lease, they took the necemry steps
through the judicial system to ensure that the dog in question was removed from the property.
At no time were Keefers aware that the dog had any vicious propensities as Plaintiff'
alleges in her Complaint. To date, that is an unsubstantiated allegations put forth by the Plaintiff.
,-
IV. CONCLUSIONS;
For all of the foregoing reuons, it is submitted that the Defendants Ross Keefer and
Patricia Keefer, hlw, were landlords out ofpoSlCllion and thus did not owe any duty to the
Plaintiff Lea Ann Wray nor were they responsible for any injuries that the Plaintiff may have
suffered as a result of the dog which was kept on the property rented from Keefers by Defendants
Atkins and Wenger. Therefore, the summary judgment should be granted in favor of Defendants
Ross Keefer and Patricia Keefer, hlw.

LEA ANN WRAY
SLOAN ERIC ATKINS AND
JEREMY WENGER & ROSS KEEFER
AND PATRICIA KEEFER, h/w
AND RE/MAX HOHEFINDERS
IN RE t MOTION FOR SUJOIARY JUDGMENT
BEFORE SHEELY. P.J.. AND HESS. J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Before the Court is the summary judgment motion of
defendants Ross Keefer and Patricia Keefer. The Keefers are the
owner of the premises where plaintiff, a meter reader, was
allegedly attacked by the dog of defendants Sloan Eric Atkins and
Jeremy Wenger, lessees.
We heard argument on March 5, 1997.
FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Plaintiff's Complaint alleges that on or about August 3,
1992r during the course of her employment as a meter person for
PennElec, plaintiff was attacked and severely injured by the dog
of defendants Atkins and Wenger, who leased premises owned by the
Keefers through Re/Max Homefinders, the other named defendants.
(Pl.'s Compl. ! la, ! 14). Plaintiff further avers that at all
times relevant to her cause of action, defendants were aware the
dog was permitted to roam at large on his own without restraint,
and that defendants knew or should have known the dog was of a
dangerous and vicious nature. (Id.,! 12, ! 13).
After filing a responsive pleading to the Complaint, the
"
NO. 94-4334 CIVIL TERM
Keefers (hereinafter defendants) filed a Motion for Summary
Judgment claiming that as landlords out of possession, they had
no obligation or legal liability to plaintiff. Attached to their
motion is a copy of the lease signed by Atkins and Wenger
indicating that no pets were allowed on the premises.
(Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment, Exhibit A). Also
attached is a copy of a judgment entered by District Justice
Donald W. Daihl dated July 22, 1992, in favor of Re/Max
Homefinders and against Atkins and Wenger, in part, directing the
removal of the dog within thirty (30) days. (Id., Exhibit B).
DISCUSSION
The new summary judgment rule can be found in Rule 1035.2 of
the RuleB of Civil Procedure, setting forth:
After the relevant pleadings are closed, but within
such time as not to unreasonably delay trial, any party
may move for summary judgment in whole or in part as a
matter of law
(1) whenever there is no genuine issue of material
fact as to a necessary element of the cause of action
or defenBe which could be established by additional
discovery or expert report, or
(2) if, after the completion of discovery relevant to the
motion, including the production of expert reports, an
adverse party who will bear the burden of proof at
trial has failed to produce evidence of facts essential
to the cause of action or defense which in a jury trial
would require the issues to be submitted to a jury.
42 Pa.C.S.A. S 1035.2. The moving party has the burden of
proving the non-existence of any genuine issue of fact, whereas
the non-moving party must demonstrate that there is s genuine
issue of fact, without reliance on averments in its pleadings.
2
NO. 94-4334 CIVIL TERM
Merriweather v. Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc., 453 Pa.Super. 464,
___, 684 A.2d 137, 140 (1996) (citation omitted). The trial court
muet examine the record in a light most favorable to the non-
moving party, and any doubts must resolved in favor of the non-
moving party. Id. If it is clear and free from doubt that the
moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, the
granting of summary judgment is proper. Id.
Mindful of this stringent standard, this Court does not
believe that summary judgment should be granted in favor of
defendants at this time. Defendants are correct in their
argument to the extent that the general rule of PennBylvania
provides that a landlord out of possession is not liable for
injuries caused by animals kept by the tenant when the tenant has
exclusive control of the premises. The Superior Court has set
forth this rule in Palermo v. Nails, 334 Pa.Super. 544, 483 A.2d
871 (1984). After stating the general rule, however, the Palermo
court then adopted the holding of a California case, Uccello v.
Laudenslayer, 44 Cal.App.3d 504, 118 Cal.Rptr. 741 (1975), and
ruled that "a landlord out of possession may be held liable for
injuries by animals owned and maintained by his tenant when the
landlord has knowledge of the presence of the dangerous animal
and where he has the right to control or remove the animal by
retaking possession of the premises." Palermo, 334 Pa.Super. at
547, 483 A.2d at 873. In Gallick v. Barto, 828 F.Supp. 1168
(M.D. Pa. 1993), the Third Circuit relied in part on Palermo in
3
. '
NO. 94-4334 CIVIL TERM
denying summary judgment for the landlords who were aware of the
presence of a ferret (which the court held to be a wild animal)
when the ferret attacked a child.
In the instant case, defendants had the power to remove the
animal from the premises as indicated by the judgment entered by
District Justice Daihl. Because the lease provided that no pets
were allowed on the premises, defendants also had as a remedy the
power to retake the premises after pursuing the matter through
the judicial system. A jury question exists as to whether
obtaining a judgment in and of itself w~s sufficient to absolve
defendants of negligence. It is also not established by the
record whether or not defendants had taken any precautions before
the dog bite incident in view of the fact that Atkins and Wenger
had thirty (30) days to remove their dog.
We recognize that Palermo was presented in the context of
the landlord's duty to the tenant's invitees. This Court,
though, believes that Palermo is not narrowed to the duty owed to
the tenant's invitees because the Superior court did not
expressly limit the holdingr as indicated by the language quoted
above. Thus, the case at bar falls into an exception to the
general rule that landlords out of possession are not responsible
for injuries cause by an animal kept by the tenant.
In addition to the foregoing exception, we also believe that
a question exists as to whether defendants were responsible for a
dangerous condition of the premiseB over which they had control.

NO. 94-4334 CIVIL TERM
See Dorsey v. Continental Associates, 404 Pa.Super. 525, 530, 591
A.2d 716, 718 (1990). The record is silent as to the area where
plaintiff read the meter and whether defendants had assumed
responsibility for that particular area.
Accordingly, we will deny defendants' Motion for Summary
Judgment at this time.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this-3~ay of APRIL, 1997, the summary judgment
motion of defendants Ross Keefer and Patricia Keefer is DENIED at
this time.
