This makes me sick. $14 per month for rent & he hasn't even paid that or utilities. How do i get $+4 rent payments?
Be poor. That’s how you get it.
It's more your color who gets it and good stamps Google
@@Maybelater444well it's a lot of yite poor people huh they be in line with more food stamps than 🖤
Be black, because I no poor white ppl who are piss broke and can't get approved for section 8,, especially white males
@@shaundravaughn8349nope. More lighter hue people get assistance. It’s statistically proven
If I paid $14 a month for rent, I would be smiling all day not WHINING.
If my rent was $14.00 a month I would write a check for the whole year! 😂😂😂
Yeah damn at my last apartment we had mold on every exterior wall and still had to pay $1250! $14 a month I'd sure as hell put up with the possibility of mold!
@@sharontuch3405For real.
I'd fix that mold myself.
Sadly some of these people are *never* satisfied with anything. If I were the landlord, I'd jack his rent up after this.
PAYS $14 A MONTH. $14!!
crazy huh?
That is absolutely nuts!!! As he clearly seems like he should & could be working
@@allisonjames2923 not really he obviously has mental issues, this is pathological
Well he’s spending the rest on Alize, Weed and Strippers …
You could rent out a dog kennel for more.
I work in an office building and a tenant in this office suite was complaining about headaches, feeling weak, and respiratory problems. There was a build-up of calcium on the window that she said was mold and that was contributing to her symptoms. My company paid for an inspection by an independent contractor. They tested her office, the suite, and the whole floor. During this time she was not at work because she was on her deathbed. The result came back negative for mold. The inspector said the air inside the building was cleaner and healthier than the outside air. That cost my company 3K. Here's the thing the woman that lodged that complaint was a chain smoker. WTF!!! She was gone two weeks later. That company fired her.
No f***ing way!!! Talk about taking good care of your employees! The fact that she smoked is mos def the icing on the cake 😂
How you fire somebody that passed on
@@pradaguccifendichanel2619she didn’t die 😂😅
How do u know she was a chain smoker?
Buy a house sir and see if one section of your ceiling fell. Would YOU replace the entire ceiling? When YOU pay out of YOUR pocket you going to afford that? No, you won’t because it’s not necessary. I’ve used Kilz and it works. He just doesn’t want to pay.
I was in properly management; many were RD properties. I used to have kilz colored and painted every surface inside the units (that was Sheetrock) with it. Walls, ceiling, luan doors, etc. Covered smells, water marks, yellowing from nicotine, etc.
Wait, WHAT???? Rent is 14 dollars??? and here I am paying over 2000 dollars and this guy is complaining about something that has already been fixed??? GTHOOH!!! This guy is got a lot of nerve Wow!!
How the h does that even work??!! He only pays 14 dollars rent and that includes electric,where do I sign up??!! What a freaking load of bull 🐂
@@susanengel-ix8bl and has the gull to want a trial. I'm so done with people like him that find ways to get over on the system. I have had my moments in life, but one thing I always did was work and pay my bills!!
I struggle and work everyday to try and get ahead. If I could pay $14 a month for all my bills I'd be trailer park rich in no time lol.
I want a place where I only pay $14/month for rent AND utilities.
@@darlenedavis8690you think you do. But it’s an ugly ass place and very mean.
Judge Simpson is the best judge I have ever seen. If kids seen him as a role model instead of some fake influencer, celebrities or gangsters, society would be so much better off!
This defendant clearly lives in a world where he believes he can charm and fast-talk his way through any situation. If he just keeps talking and talking and talking, he expects to wear down the listener. If he's so miserable and concerned about the apartment, then the solution is crystal clear: MOVE. If he doesn't want to move, then he should pay his whopping $14 a month rent and his utilities. The great Judge Simpson was more than patient and tolerant with this saga.
You can't cross the street for $14. I'm exaggerating, but you get my drift🤣
Really, you can not live anywhere in the world to lay your head somewhere other than a sidewalk for $14. This tenant is annoying.
He is a contractor living in government housing for $14 a month.
#1 Fix it yourself if you dont like their repairs.
#2 MOVE
smh 🤦♀️
I can't stand people like him, just lazy
🙄🙄🙄🙄
He won't move since section 8 is hard to find places that do it. Its shit like this that makes some not wanna do section 8. This shit pisses me off though. Back in the day when I need some help, I made to much with a kid at like 8 bucks an hr. I wasn't even asking for housing. But we help alot who never pay into the system.
@@RP-nw4rwYep. That waiting lists are looooooong.
Unless it’s a current/permanent leak, ventilation, elbow grease and bleach works fine.
He didn’t pay rent. Then he didn’t pay his damned utilities. His electricity worked. Judge Judy used to say: “ if you ate the steak, you PAY FOR IT! If you dont like it there MOVE!!!”
This was NOT a habitable question. He has no cause to not pay. Hw just thought he could get away with it as an excuse. Guarantee he has several pairs of pretty sneakers in that Section 8 closet. We are paying for everything else!
No doubt!!!
Why doesn’t he have a job that would allow him to pay rent, he looks like a healthy young man. Although mentally he may an evaluation.
don't know how it is in the states but up in Canada if someone isn't fixing the property to the satisfaction (with in reason) of a tenant then they can withhold their rent till the work is done.
to me this just sounds like their not fixing the issue only trying to put bandanas of paint on it, same with the building I live ink it has four apartments with black mould in them and they paint over it before new people move in.
@jakstrieder it's similar in the US however you have to put that withheld rent amount into an escrow account and if you can't prove you've been putting the rent money aside then you end up on the wrong side of the situation. Just choosing not to pay rent because the tenant isn't happy with something small or major and they decide to use what would've gone to rent as a way to afford a vacation the tenant will end up losing.
Informed the landlord he was a “ Contractor” which is a state licensed occupation, no license you are not a legal contractor.
OFFFF COURSEEE THIS IS A SECTION 8 CASE 🙄
Shit like this is the reason 80% of complex owners are no longer accepting vouchers
Some places it's illegal to refuse section 8.
@@chrisknoblock no, it's not. If so where? Section 8 is federal. Please enlighten us all
@jennifer4263 California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont,Virginia, Washington have all passed source of income anti-discrimination laws. Ymmv depending on the state because each state law is different.
So he moved out and WASTED more of the taxpayers $$$$!!!! He should be thrown off section 8!! He’s outrageous!!!
Its tenants like this that make landlords leery about opening units to section 8.
It's why I stopped all Section 8 contracts.
A lot of section 8 tenants seem to be people on govt mental disability. They usually don't work so they have all day to get dangerously paranoid and surf all the cray websites that they believe are factual eg sov and conspiracy madness.
I have a coworker who owns a number of apartment complex both in the city and in other states, in the twenty years he has owned them he only ever opened one up to section 8 once and stated that it was a big mistake and was happy when he was able to get out of that contract and remove those tenants (they were always breaking things, causing problems for the neighbors, and just being a general nuisance, as is the case with the majority of section 8 garbage)
Now before someone asks why he is still working when he has this property and the income, the answer is simple: why stop doing what you love to do? He loves his job and has stated that he won't leave it until after he turns sixty.
@@Suisfonia a lot of section 8 is also people on govt mental disability and don't work. They have all day to cause trouble or let their paranoia or other issues be fed by imaginary sounds or benign commonplace things. It often leads to arguing, fights, vandalism, and sometimes much worse.
@miaknig3130 I'm sure that's a thing that happens sometimes, but I guess we'll just pretend there aren't plenty of awful people with borderline mental issues as well as full blown undiagnosed mental issues that cause problems for landlords all over the world. Super cool attitude though 👍👍
Here’s the deal, how does he still qualify for his Section 8 apartment if he moved his belongings out and lived elsewhere for several months? I would counter sue him for the rent, fees and attorney’s fees AND evict him. There are plenty of truly deserving folks that need his subsidized housing.
MOVE OUT!! He is one tenant that you don’t want in your apartment. He’s always going to be a hypochondriac.
💯 There will always be a problem.
I don't think you could call him a hypochondriac. I think a better word is scammer because he's just using these excuses to get out of paying rent.
I'll never understand why these people think they don't have to pay rent if something is wrong and if the place really is that bad why are they living there and why are they still fighting to live there?
I don’t consider living with mold being a hypochondriac. Do you have mold you commune with in your shower, happily?
@@MadMoxxxi66 Depends on why the mold is there. If he does not clean properly, which is the tenant's responsibility, NOT that of the landlord, then there will be mold. And when that keeps happening, that becomes a landlord claim against the tenant.
As a hypochondriac myself. He’s disgusting and a bum. The landlord should never renew his lease
I knew a man one time that never paid taxes. He got away with it for years one day they came after him and took his house and everything he owned. He always said if you never paid taxes one time you never have to well it didn’t work out so good in the end.
I just watched a video of someone trying to push this narrative! lol. He said if you never pay taxes, the IRS doesn't know you exist. lol. As if your SSN isn't collected and reported by employers by law. I can't believe anyone would fall for that crap.
What a waste of time. If I was the landlord I would not renew his lease when it becomes due.
If I was his landlord I would repair it properly in gear of future medical claims & to stop the further growth to
@@kimk2635He's a section 8 scammer. There's nothing wrong with the apartment. The housing authority approved it. He's a bum who doesn't want to pay his way through life. He's a grown man and should be embarrassed by his situation but the fact that he's not, speaks volumes. Landlords just need to be a whole lot more careful who they rent to.
@@kimk2635I remove mold and asbestos for a living. You have no idea what you’re talking about lol. What medical issues ?
@@roslynhawkins1475they want his lease because section 8 checks never bounce and they’re always on time. Section 8 is VERY lucrative especially for these mega land lords
Section 8 means they would not have a choice, without good cause.
If the place is so bad why do you want to stay there? Leave!!
Because there is nowhere else to go where he can only have a 14 dollar a month rent payment. Damn, that must be nice!
Mold IS something that should always be taken seriously and having a bunch of borderline uninhabitable slums is not the answer just because it's cheap, wtf are yall talking about?? It's not like he has NO argument, it's just that all things considered his argument is ludicrous juxtaposed with how sweet his arrangement is overall.
$14/month/contractor and on section 8?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, this kind of thing should make all of us TAXPAYERS who pay for these leeches MAD. That is total B.S GOOD! MAKE HIM pay all of those fines and costs...that is RIDICILOUS!!!!
Being paid cash. thats why he qualifies. No records.
@@perryrush6563💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
HOW/WHY is this "man" which looks totally capable of working, living in a section 8 housing complex?? This is absolutely absurd!!! He just doesn't want to pay $14 per month rent and hasn't paid utilities???? THIS is yet another problem with our government programs. They do NOT look into those that abuse the system!!
Based on his speech patterns, he probably has problems that are not immediately obvious. He may not be as capable as he looks. I think Judge Simpson figured it out pretty quickly.
He wants to live off of the system. It is our hard ass taxes that is paying for this loser to sit on his ass and do nothing. This is bullshit. I work too damn hard to be paying for a grown ass man , to sit on his and complain about mold. Make it make sense.
Probably on SSI for mental issues
More than 2/3 are abusing the system
@@cynthiabarrett4824if he get's SSI he needs to be reevaluated and sent to work.
I can tell he’s NEVER lived in the real world of working and paying REAL bills.
That's for sure.
That ghost mold is the deadliest kind.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Strikes when least expected... I wonder how much paint he's scraped off looking for it...
I heard about this type of mold! It always drip down on you when you are in the shower. It will NEVER leave the shower. 😂😂😂😂
The best evidence of mold poisoning is how poorly his mind works 😂
If he is such a great contractor why is he on Section 8?!?
Abuse of the system.. it’s a free class offered in the ghetto..
He’s living in a $1297 apartment for $14 a month and he’s complaining about a repair that the landlords made because something MIGHT happen in the future. The insanity. You think he uses his fan, opens windows to aerate the room, cleans properly? The entitlement of some people is outstanding and outrageous.
That is why he doesn't want to move. Would have to go though the system to try and get someone to pay that much for him again.
This truly infuriates me!! He is an able body man & f'n mooching off the tax payers. POS
What do I have to do to pay 14$ a month for an apartment, as a seeming healthy young male? Why am I busting my ass 40 hours a week in a respirator. What a loser
It truly is insane... And I'd bet that he does NONE of those things to help mediate the problem.
He said water drips from the roof during showers. Huh? That must be one long bloody hot shower with no fan for water to rip from the roof.
His rent is 15$ wtf that is disgusting!! He can work and struggle like the rest of us!! This is BS!!!
This is insane. We, as taxpayers, are paying to coddle this guy. I'd even call him a criminal. Then, making matters worse, he chews up valuable court time. This is a perfect example of why our country is falling to pieces.
Agreed 💯!
Agree 💯
You're right on the money. He's nothing but a squatter using the courts as a weapon to continue to life for free in someone else's property. He thinks the landlord should serve him- it doesn't work that way.
I can tell you’ve never dealt with public assistance before
so people should not have low income housing? oh yeah cant have people actually having places to live. bet you are also one of those loving people who yell at homeless people and support them being arrested for being homeless.
UGH! That tenant had me yelling at him to shut up!!!! He said he didn't want to move but at the end he said he had already gotten all of his things out of there and had moved in with his GF? Dear mother of all.
If I were the landlord on the day of trial I would ask for a judgement and he would have to move. I would tell him that I will not accept any monies and I would notify Section 8. I would also furnish them with all the paperwork as to why he was evicted. Let him fast talk Section 8. Case closed!!
LOVE FROM NEW JERSEY ~❤❤❤❤~
This dude is a scammer.
No mold is dangerous
@@4elevendyno You are delusional.
@@ButcherBird-FW190D Delusional may be too harsh. I will agree with SERIOUSLY misinformed !
@@charliechristie2949 Fair enough.
Scamming for what? A 15$ piece of drywall
It would have been cheaper for him to just go buy some Kilz and do it himself if he's a contractor.
As a previous renter sometimes it's the path of least resistance. Not right, but easier than all this.
Yea I agree, I completely understand that people have rights as tenants- and no one wants to live with mold nor does anyone WANT you to, but it happens. Sometimes the renters themselves contribute to it by not using their fans or aerating the space properly. I just think it’s pretty audacious to be paying $14 in rent and still try and take your landlord to court and not pay your rent. What judge Simpson said was totally spot on, landlords aren’t going to willingly let their property fall to sh*t so that no one will live in it or they’ll try and not pay rent. If he’s living in a complex where the management is ‘making millions’ then it’s probably a decent enough place that he’s essentially getting for free. It always seems to me that some of these renters that are on all sort of benefits have the physical ability to come down to court all the time, they have the mental capacity to argue their point in court, but for some reason they can’t work, or work like everyone else that have to sometimes work two jobs to afford their rent? It just makes me aggravated sometimes. Furthermore, he stopped paying his utilities but still had full access to them, must be nice.
Whenever I see the sov cit UA-cam added context note, I know I'm in for some wacky times 😂
Except this had nothing to do with sovereign citizen stuff whatsoever.
and he wasn’t even a sov cit…lol
Housing authorities provide an attorney via an appointment by the court. You have to apply or request it from the court.
It automatically added it because the AI detected Judge’s mention of “conspiracy theory” and assumed it was a sov cit video.
It lacked the context of the rest of the video.
Why is this guy only paying $14 a month??? Is he not working? Because he most definitely could (& should) be working!
Becuz it's called section 8/housing vouchers. The government pays for the rent and u pay a SMALL fraction, which is his 14 dollars. I AM DISABLED, not playing the system, truly disabled and am on section 8. I AM THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL EVERY DAY that the taxpayers allow me to have a place to stay.. my apt doesn't look the greatest at all- the bathroom and the paint job, but, like judge said... it's habitable (mold can be taken care of and I'm sure this man has time). tbh, I kinda moaned amd groaned a bit when I saw it, but then thinking about it I guess yea, I could do it myself or not take the apt... so, I took it and did what I could do. I am however moving next week and it will be a nice place, thi I'm sure there will still be something to gripe about or just fix. Seems no matter where we go, there's always something... no one's gonna be completely and perfectly happy no matter what. This guy for sure, huh??
That’s ridiculous! I didn’t pay my utilities because it’s all together in one bill - but when you ordered me to pay to escrow, I just paid the $14 because you only ordered the rent portion.
Good point!!!
He's willing to separate the 2 when it's convenient to him or to his advantage, but when it's not to his advantage, he's then unwilling to separate the 2.
You made a good point there.
This one triggered me as I am still on O2 from mold exposure in my condo over 4 months ago. I had to move out for over a month, it cost over $11K to remediate which does not include all the medical testing, equipment and treatment. The fact that this clown was using mold as some sort of rental scam is infuriating. A $350 mold inspection will completely put an end to this problem, then kick the guy out.
I would not want him a as a tenant 🤬 He’s a nit picker 🤬
He has to nitpick, or he'll have to start paying rent. $14 A month 😡
There is mould resistant paint. In our flat we cleaned the mould, treated the wall that had the mould, painted over that area.
You can’t rip out sections of wall in some homes. I live in Scotland so there’s no drywall, there’s just brick wall - about 12 inches thick!
Uk houses really aren't built for airflow which is why we're seeing mould issues so often... And we have some awful landlords who are terrible with repairs
But with housing crisis, issues over housing benefits, lack of social housing 🤷🏻♀️
Judge Simpson was born at night but not last night 😅
Well said 👏
The repairman picked up on his lunacy and blew him off by just saying, "They just told me to paint it". He's like a 4 year old constantly asking why when you answer them again, and again, and...
If the home is not habitable, how and why did you stay..? Get out. Live in a tent, no mold in a tent....
Because he’s an able bodied man able to work a full time job but only has to pay $14 for a $1300 apartment.. nobody would leave under those circumstances..
How is a grown man..who can walk and stand ..manipulate the system, which shows he has brain function…..ONLY PAYING $14 a month for rent!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
waaaay crazy Huck!
He has been told he is super duper special since the day he was eligible for tax payer funded dependence.
"walk and stand" is not the standard for maintaining gainful employment.
And getting late fees on that $14. What a joke.
so you have no idea how anything works. I suggest learning how things function and work before you spew your lies. so do try again. yeah he can stand for a bit. but maybe not that long or he was having a good day and could stand other days he could be laid up in bed not able to move. you really should not judge people before you know their situation. I am ok helping people with my tax dollars who need help and it appears he does.
He is an able bodied guy...why the eff is he only paying $14 a month for rent????? None of his late fees or any costs should be waived 😡
And his rent should be full price..
Every time Judge Simpson exasperatedly said "Mr. Adams" The first half of it, I'm so conditioned to think of Mr. Allen now... I thought "here it comes!". lol
WHOA !!!! …
paying $14 in rent ?? …
that just encourages people to *NOT* work 😠
@@cathythoman
that’s a lot for rent vs income …
maybe this guy should hold seminars on how to live virtually free ! … and it’s not an isolated case … lots of people paying $10 - $20 need to be audited
Nah - just underlines how much everyone else is being ripped off by landlords for accommodation.
@@SamLowryDZ-015 What? The landlord still gets $1,250 for the unit. The tax payers are just covering the cost. It's not like that building could actually run off of $14/month/unit
Why not - how many units in the building and what are the overheads? @@My_Crazy_Neighbor
The point remains many people cannot afford to buy a home for credit reasons - but can afford to buy another home for a landlord.
@@SamLowryDZ-015it’s not that the landlord is renting the property for $14. The tenant said he was on section 8. The federal government is paying the full rental amount to the landlord so this guy can live there.
I know a lot about water damage and mold. I worked in that industry for 6 years. If the tenant wants to document and prove that it is problematic, he can order a mold test from an environmental company to have the spores identified and counted.
He thinks he is the smartest man in the room....LMFAO
Oh, my, god. $15 rent, and he is fighting even tho the landlord is making improvements? He is wasting everyone’s time.
This man is so worried about talking that he doesn’t listen!!! Period.
The only thing that is wrong with this unit is the tenant. What an entitled leech.
Talked about not being able talk much. That’s all he he’s done is run his mouth repeating himself.
Oh ye gods and little fishies. As an asthmatic who is *extremely* sensitive to molds and mildews, Killz works. That's the paint the attorney for the landlord referenced. I lived in the dorms at my first college where they seriously could have used it in the bathrooms because of how bad the mold and mildew were, but they didn't, which is why my sensitivity is so bad now. This guy is just a jerk and needs to grow up.
I’m surprised he’s not asking the landlord to pay him to live there. This guy is a joke.
He is paying next to nothing in rent! Why not pay and pay your late fees. He is a squatter!
I've described kilz as being able to cover the sins of the damned. I've never used anything better for coverage.
Translation: "I'm not paying rent and think I have a gotchya to live rent free forever."
He is a fast talker. Sounds like he wants to live for free but $ 14.00 dollar's a month I'll take it 😅😂
I hope they refuse to renew his lease when it's over, because his measly rent isn't worth the pain in the butt that this tenant is. He is too stupid to realize that he is shooting himself in the foot. Looks to me like he's an able bodied man who shouldn't be needing government handouts either, but here we are.
he is a troublemaker.....
He's super difficult, no question about that. He wants what he wants, but he doesn't have to pay for it. Owners, however, do, and if the entire ceiling wasn't damaged, there's no need to replace the entire thing, just the damaged section. But he wants the whole darn thing done because he is not responsible for paying for it. Do, no, too bad for the tenant.
I'm a city inspector and unfort, this is typical, every day type stuff. I cannot count the number of times a tenant told me that all maintenance did was paint over mold. Yet, maintenance tells me, no, they removed the mold and applied Kilz. The fact of the matter is in the very day the reinspection, there's no visible mold. Case closed, just like the judge stated. We cannot deal in what may happen.
Also, so you know, the tenant pays the $14, and the taxpayers pay the remainder. So, the owner is getting the full amount. It's just not from the tenant. It sounded as though you thought all the owner gets is what the tenant pays, and I wanted to help clarify that. Pardon me if I misunderstood. Just trying to be helpful.
Mold can grow thru no fault of the landlord.
Clean your own shower/tub area every so often!
I agree
wow he says "they are making millions why cant they fix his problem" the way HE wants....all while owing his 14 dollars a month that he ISNT paying.
Judge should just have ordered the landlord to travel into the future, backtrack the butterfly effect and manipulate the universe to make sure not a single spore will ever appear in the apartment again.
Lol!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
In the UK you don't have the right to withhold rent because of your landlord's failure to do repairs. If you withhold rent your landlord may start possession proceedings against you and put you at risk of eviction.
Good old privileged UK upper class, like the corporations in the US, Except Americans Have due process when it comes to this type of stuff... I guess the Uk is not as great as everyone over there says it is after all... Have they taken away your air conditioning like they did in Germany yet?..And you'll accept it like good little subjects. Salutations from the land of the free.
We have a housing health and safety system that'll actually do something about repeated issues though.
If the house is unsafe and you can prove it then it becomes the landlord's responsibly to fix it and rent is suspended until it's fixed(plus you can sue for costs incurred as a result, but they have to be reasonable so no 5 star hotels).
Landlords hate it, and it's a last resort anyway(you need to move out if they deem it unsafe, and no one wants to do that), but it's an option if everything else fails.
Same here In Australia. You must pay rent but there are legal processes that enable you to demand the landlord fix something. Too many people think that they can just stop paying rent to force landlords to fix things.
@@sodman4874🙄 Not being entitled to withhold rent doesn’t mean they aren’t entitled to require landlords to fix things. Landlords have legal obligations to maintain their property & tenants in the UK have rights & legal processes they can follow. And remind me about “the land of the free” - isn’t America the place where hundreds of millions of women are being denied rights over their own bodies? The place where there is NO minimum age for children to be forced into marriage in most States? The country where books & discussions are being banned just because they have information on black history & LGBTQ+ matters? The country where you elect a leader, not by majority will of the people, but by will of the electoral college? The country where you don’t have the right to go to schools, malls, churches, parades, clubs, parties etc without a high likelihood of being shot… yeah. Land of “the free” 🙄🙄🙄
Most of what you said is absolutely false@@allisonjames2923
As someone who used to work for The Housing Authority in Los Angeles 15 years ago. This dudes behavior is not surprising, neither is the $14 rent. Our government doesn’t regulate Section 8 the way they should be. I used to have to do annual evaluations to determine if you’re still eligible to receive Section 8. And that process wasn’t regulated very well either. A lot of the people had been on Section 8 for years! I’m talking 5+!!! Majority of the people are comfortable with the government giving them a handout instead of using it as temporary help and getting out of Section 8. It’s a shame.
If he is looking for an angle not to pay he is on a hiding to nothing - He has dreadlocks, he isn't worried about mould, certainly he won't be washing it daily... Give me the mould any day
Mould will always occur in bathrooms. You must ventilate it. Open a window after showering or install a dehumidifier fan that will continually run until the moisture in the air falls to below a certain level.
Ooof!!! Wants a trial? Now I know this will be reported to section 8. Thankful for that. He needs to realize what he’s doing.
He gonna get kicked out.. he just doesn't want to pay $14 a month rent...sorry excuse for a human...he looks totally capable of working to me...why is HE getting section 8?? I don't understand!!
Agreed Squishy..but its on this guy to minimize his damages...turn on the ceiling vent and open a window. My concern is when he was talking about scratching the paint to find the mold...is he messing the repair up on purpose ?
Any time someone starts speaking at 200 words a second, they are lying, back-peddling, and showing their hand all at the same time. And, landlord, he just admitted he vacated the apartment. File for possession forthwith!!
WHY in the world is a healthy, fairly intelligent "contractor" paying $14.00 a month? Section 8 - This country won't survive people like this.
$ 14.00 a month and he has the balls to complain 😂😂😂
What I can't even buy dinner for that
But you CAN buy a gallon of paint! 😁
It’s not difficult to remove or replace a section of drywall or ceiling that was affected by mold so this is just the case of this gentleman not wanting to pay rent for three years that’s ridiculous
Judge Simpson is so good at what he does . He patiently listens to the man, who is obviously nervously running on verbally. He also patiently tried to explain the solution.
Seems like he should’ve asked why someone who can argue his point to that degree is unable to work and only required to pay 14/month rent..
The biggest question for me is how in the hayell is this big able bodied man on Section 8??? I was out of the work for 9 years and never received Section 8. He says HE lived with his gf for several months - HE rented a U-HAUL and moved all HIS stuff out. No kids. No old people. Just HIS stuff. So, where and how did he qualify for a 4 bedroom government subsidized unit?!
If all he’s paying is $14 a month, he can repaint or even repair the drywall himself. Cleaning and Repainting the mildew is an appropriate repair. This guy needs an eviction so he can get off section 8 and see what it’s like paying full rent like everyone else.
How can someone pay $14? I can't believe it. I thought on section 8 you pay 20% and the government pays 80%.
144 a year???? Fix it yourself FFS .. or pay full price and get full resources
That's exactly what I said. He's practically living free with EVERYTHING he's getting from government assistance that WE PAY FOR!! He has to have children in order to get section 8 because he sure looks totally capable of working himself to pay full rent in a different place!! This aggravates me sooo much!!
Homie just wanted a clean living environment and 90% apartments paint over mold instead replacing the whole new dry wall smh 😮🤦🏾♂️
It’s passed inspection!!! MOVE. MOVE. MOVE. MOVE. MOVE. No one has a gun to your head to live there!!! MOVE.
My mom was stage 3 breast cancer after working her whole life, both her and my dad we never got state benefits yet when she was sick I had to fight to get her disability and food stamps yet this GROWN man gets section 8 and still won’t pay his 14$ rent???? How are you not embarrassed sir??? This is what I be talking about, they drain our checks for ppl like this and ppl like my mom who truly deserved the help after working her entire life could barely get it. The ppl who pay into can’t get the help when they need it but ppl like this get to live COMFORTABLY off of us?
Same thing happened to me when I got really sick. They said pancreatitis (tumor related not drinking) was not on their list of approved disabilities. I had 12 whole/part organs removed and I still didn’t quality. I should have said I had anxiety and PTSD. 🤬
$14.00 for RENT? WTF!
What the hell??? Let’s waste more of the court’s time and the taxpayers dollars!!!
I had a water leak in my unit's bathroom once and all my crooked landlord did was cover it up with new pipes. I feel so violated and abused.
Well, it probably needed new pipes,what didn't they do?
It’s the mold! Not a new pipe, if u don’t kill and eliminate the mold it’s just going to continue to grow. Kill is an anti mold paint you use after you have killed the mold with bleach and water or something else
@@susanengel-ix8bl yeah.... That was sarcasm. Of course they fixed it properly, silly
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I figured that out, it might take me awhile,but eventually I get it😂😂😂😂😂
Did he just admit to defrauding HUD from Nov?
This guy is a BUM!! 😡 If I was lucky enough to be paying $15 a month for a $1300 apartment, I'D fix the problem MYSELF!! This guy is ridiculously petty and cheap.
I was just thinking that, if I was fortunate enough to have a place like that I'd be doing all the repairs myself.
He's just mad that section 8 did not pay everything. He probably thought, they won't kick me out over $14/month. I'd be kicking him to curb as well.
Heck for all the late fees and court costs he could have had it repaired the way he wanted it to JS 🤷♀️
Killz can come in 5gal buckets, painter probably put some in a reused gallon can. And the idea that apartment maintenance doesnt always have Killz on hand is laughable to me
This culture has no shame or self-respect whatsoever. He just doesn’t want to pay rent, and thinks he’s owed free everything. I think if he thinks that if he talks a lot, he’ll get his way
It's not "this culture" it's this guy, in this particular situation.
@issadonnysthing6107 nah, it's 100% "the culture" anyone who disagrees is lying to themselves.
@@pkx_phant0m456 you got culture in quotes. Tf culture are we talking about ? The term ‘Culture’ seems pretty vague 🙄
It's disgraceful. I would not renew the lease. Simple as that.
@@MrGST360I’m pretty sure you know which “culture” he’s talking about
"They're making millions of dollars" -- And there it is.
Judge Simpson must have been in a very good mood to put up with that nonsense for so long.
goooood morning, everyone 🦋

Good morning from Kentucky 🤧 🌪️ ☔

I hope you and your family are safe now …

mornin KK!
Camp Lejune has a HUGE lawsuit over mold. Mold in drywall renders dwellings uninhabitable. Judge is DEAD WRONG here.
I fell and broke my shoulder 10 days ago and have had my court watching addiction interrupted. I know I can count on Old Squishy to catch the goodies I've missed! Thanks OSG for enabling my addiction! $15/month rent and has late fees. Dude, you are going to push this non-matter until you can't find a landlord to take your Sect 8. If you would run the bathroom fan for a sufficient time, you would not have the problem.
This guy is just going to end up owing more late fees and more legal fees at the end of his trial when he loses😂
Fun fact: You are inhaling fungal spores right now as you read over this comment.
True
The fungi make me a fun guy.
Omg i need to go sue somebody
Yummy
The more i see how easy it is to flat out live for free in Michigan, the more i wonder why anyone there would ever pay rent! All you have to do is waste the court's time.
You can't paint over mold to stop it. What you're painting over is the "fruiting body", but the actual mold is still inside the drywall paper/wood. Paint is not a vapor barrier, so it will take longer for the fruiting body to re-emerge, but it will happen. Proper mold abatement requires killing the entire mold with something like RMR-141, then priming with an anti-mildew primer (KILZ) to prevent mold returning, and finally painting. If the mold has made it's way into the wood, the drywall has to be removed.
Was it a very slow day in Judge Simpson’s court that day because, man, that was painful to listen to.
If ignorance is bliss then this guy is very blessed.
He's not ignorant - he just knows how to play the system.
@@goaliesmom playing dumb may be equivalent to playing the system for a while, but at some point the system is going to catch up. Especially when Judge Simpson is involved in "the system".
i wish the judge would ask him how does he qualify for section 8
Dude is on section 8 right there. I’m done complaining about a little mold and he’s on section 8.
Yay! This will get me through the morning.
LOL "Judge: which bathroom doesn't have mold?"
sweeping it under the rug doesn’t make it clean ! neither does painting over mould the mould is still there , there’s obviously a problem with the bathroom ventilation!!!!
