Plaintiff, CIVIL CASE NO. 12368 For Unlawful Detainer -versus-
Captain America Defendant, x------------------------------------------x
ANSWER WITH SPECIFIC DENIAL AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE DEFENSES
AND CROSS CLAIM NOW COMES the defendant in the above entitled case, and to this Honorable Court most respectfully alleges: 1. Defendant admits the averment in paragraph 1,2 and 3 of the complaint; 2. Defendant specifically denies the allegation in paragraph 4 of the complaint, the truth being that defendant, a lawful lessee of unit 45 of the apartment complex owned by herein plaintiff, has been diligently paying monthly rentals ever since defendant had become an occupant thereof; 3. That for over a decade, defendant had been paying monthly rentals to a certain Alicia keys, the supposed book keeper of herein plaintiff. By way of special and affirmative defenses, defendant avers: 1. While plaintiff did in fact send several notices to defendant to settle the rentals, said rentals, however, have been paid by defendant to Alicia Keys, who has been collecting said rent from defendant ever since the latter has moved to the apartment complex; 2. That Alicia Keys had been collecting rentals from defendant as she was the book keeper of the plaintiff and was introduced to defendant as such; 3. That Alicia Keys was introduced to defendant by the plaintiff as his book keeper and was tasked by plaintiff to collect rent from defendant. By way of counterclaim, defendant alleges: 1. That by virtue of this unwarranted and malicious act initiated by the plaintiff, defendant was forced to engage counsel in the sum of P10,000.00; 2. That defendant had also suffered loss of income as plaintiff had cut off the water supply of the apartment unit of the defendant forcing him to close his mineral water for 2 weeks. WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the complaint be dismissed and defendant be awarded the amount of P500,000.00 Other equitable reliefs are likewise prayed for.
