[RPPTL LandTen] Requirement for 3-day Notice

LO

Leonard:

Thank you again for your assistance.  And I know it's Labor Day, but I'm
hoping you're reading e-mails for a very quick question (I have to file
something on behalf of the defendant tomorrow).

In the residential eviction, can I file a Motion to Dismiss without filing
the Answer or Motion to Determine Rent Paid into Registry, or do I file
everything together?

Basically, I have three options:

(i) File Motion to Dismiss only;

(ii) File Answer, Motion to Determine Rent and Motion to Dismiss, or

(iii) File Answer and Motion to Determine Rent, where my Motion to Dismiss
would instead be Affirmative Defenses in my Answer.

Please advise if you can.

Thanks again.

Scott:

Acceptance of Rent is a waiver to a complaint. A new 3 day notice is
required any only past due rent should be listed on the notice unless the
lease describes any charges "as rent".

I just had a Default Final Judgment vacated and a Writ of Possession quashed
and complaint dismissed because the landlord accepted rent 3X after
complaint filed.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Requirement for 3-day Notice

Folks - quick residential question (from this commercial attorney) on the
need for a new 3-day notice to quit where there is a partial rent payment
accepted between the date of the original notice and the date the complaint
is filed.

Specifically - Tenant withheld part of July rent due to repairs and a demand
from the association (LL had been previously notified of need for repairs,
and tenant did in fact send invoices and itemization of deductions).
Landlord then sent a 3-day notice.  Then in August, tenant again withheld
part of rent and made a partial payment.  Next correspondence from the
landlord was the Complaint - no new 3-day notice.

So again the question is whether the lack of the new 3-day notice after
acceptance of partial rent precludes the eviction?

Any and all thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome.

Thanks.

In the residential eviction, can I file a Motion to Dismiss without filing

everything together?

Basically, I have three options:
(i) File Motion to Dismiss only;
(ii) File Answer, Motion to Determine Rent and Motion to Dismiss, or
(iii) File Answer and Motion to Determine Rent, where my Motion to Dismiss
would instead be Affirmative Defenses in my Answer.

Please advise if you can.

Thanks.

We are not paying anything at the filing.  That is what the Motion to
Determine is for.  Our contention is that nothing is due (tenant paid part
of rent to association after demand pursuant to 720.3085, deducted part as
reimbursement of repairs - prior notice was delivered and itemization of
deductions was provided at time of payment - and paid the remainder to
landlord).

In the residential eviction, can I file a Motion to Dismiss without

do I file everything together?

Basically, I have three options:
(i) File Motion to Dismiss only;
(ii) File Answer, Motion to Determine Rent and Motion to Dismiss, or
(iii) File Answer and Motion to Determine Rent, where my Motion to
Dismiss would instead be Affirmative Defenses in my Answer.

Please advise if you can.

Acceptance of Rent is a waiver to a complaint. A new 3 day notice is
required any only past due rent should be listed on the notice unless
the lease describes any charges "as rent".

I just had a Default Final Judgment vacated and a Writ of Possession
quashed and complaint dismissed because the landlord accepted rent 3X
after complaint filed.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Requirement for 3-day Notice

Folks - quick residential question (from this commercial attorney) on
the need for a new 3-day notice to quit where there is a partial rent
payment accepted between the date of the original notice and the date
the complaint is filed.

Specifically - Tenant withheld part of July rent due to repairs and a
demand from the association (LL had been previously notified of need
for repairs, and tenant did in fact send invoices and itemization of

deductions).

Landlord then sent a 3-day notice.  Then in August, tenant again
withheld part of rent and made a partial payment.  Next correspondence
from the landlord was the Complaint - no new 3-day notice.

So again the question is whether the lack of the new 3-day notice
after acceptance of partial rent precludes the eviction?

Any and all thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome.

Thanks.

Scott:
Unfortunately I am reading my e-mail. What ever happened to the 4 day work
week after 60?

According to Summary Procedure, Chapter 51 and the supporting case law,
motion practice is NOT allowed. You must file an Answer, Affirmative
Defenses, AND a Motion to Dismiss AND Motion to Determine rent (ALL
RESPONSIVE PLEADIGS) Motion to Determine Rent must either allege PAYMENT or
you must document, by exhibits of the amount paid and post the undisputed
amount of $$ into the registry of the Court. The client must pay the rent
into the registry of the Court as it comes due. (September is now due) or a
motion for default for failure to post the rent will result in a default
Final Judgment.
I have filed affirmative defenses as a motion to dismiss but I hate to
confuse judges and educate them. So I do not do them anymore.  I do put
"based on the above affirmative defenses this case should be dismissed for
failure to state a cause of action, award costs and attorney fees and any
other relief the courts deem necessary and just."

file something on behalf of the defendant tomorrow).

In the residential eviction, can I file a Motion to Dismiss without
filing the Answer or Motion to Determine Rent Paid into Registry, or
do I file everything together?

Basically, I have three options:
(i) File Motion to Dismiss only;
(ii) File Answer, Motion to Determine Rent and Motion to Dismiss, or
(iii) File Answer and Motion to Determine Rent, where my Motion to
Dismiss would instead be Affirmative Defenses in my Answer.

Please advise if you can.

Thanks again.

Scott:
Acceptance of Rent is a waiver to a complaint. A new 3 day notice is
required any only past due rent should be listed on the notice unless
the lease describes any charges "as rent".

I just had a Default Final Judgment vacated and a Writ of Possession
quashed and complaint dismissed because the landlord accepted rent 3X
after complaint filed.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Requirement for 3-day Notice

Folks - quick residential question (from this commercial attorney) on
the need for a new 3-day notice to quit where there is a partial rent
payment accepted between the date of the original notice and the date
the complaint is filed.

Specifically - Tenant withheld part of July rent due to repairs and a
demand from the association (LL had been previously notified of need
for repairs, and tenant did in fact send invoices and itemization of

deductions).

Landlord then sent a 3-day notice.  Then in August, tenant again
withheld part of rent and made a partial payment.  Next correspondence
from the landlord was the Complaint - no new 3-day notice.

So again the question is whether the lack of the new 3-day notice
after acceptance of partial rent precludes the eviction?

Any and all thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome.

Thanks.

Scott: Unfortunately I am reading my e-mail. What ever happened to the 4 day work week after 60? According to Summary Procedure, Chapter 51 and the supporting case law, motion practice is NOT allowed. You must file an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, AND a Motion to Dismiss AND Motion to Determine rent (ALL RESPONSIVE PLEADIGS) Motion to Determine Rent must either allege PAYMENT or you must document, by exhibits of the amount paid and post the undisputed amount of $$ into the registry of the Court. The client must pay the rent into the registry of the Court as it comes due. (September is now due) or a motion for default for failure to post the rent will result in a default Final Judgment. I have filed affirmative defenses as a motion to dismiss but I hate to confuse judges and educate them. So I do not do them anymore. I do put "based on the above affirmative defenses this case should be dismissed for failure to state a cause of action, award costs and attorney fees and any other relief the courts deem necessary and just." -----Original Message----- From: landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org [mailto:landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org] On Behalf Of Manuel Farach Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 9:33 AM To: RPPTL Landlord Tenant Committee Cc: RPPTL Landlord Tenant Committee Subject: Re: [RPPTL LandTen] Requirement for 3-day Notice That should get you there; good luck Sent from my iPhone On Sep 5, 2011, at 9:30 AM, "Law Offices of Scott A.
