I cannot believe that the plaintiff sued over $1500 after 20 years. He set himself up for public embarrassment. The Judge would not even make eye contact with him she was so embarrassed for him. On the exit chat, he did not even understand that he got his behind handed to him on a platter in front of everyone. The defendant is a good guy for not suing this fool for the overage amount. Also, plaintiff seemed to think that because he paid his rent (mentioning the amount) that he should get his damage deposit back just because. Ding Dong. End of.
Yes cause I am going through a lot losing my husband January 29 2021 after 43 years of marriage it would have our 47 wedding Anniversary on December 17th 2024 😢 nothing has been the same without him please Pray for me 😢
Plaintiff needs to purchase his own building. He has huge nerve to dismantle that man's lighting system, not get it back to its original state, then waltz into court and file a law suit.
Not sure why the plaintiff is having such a hard time understanding. It’s basically common sense make a permanent repair addition to a building. It becomes part of the building. He’s lucky that defendant didn’t soon cause he would’ve won.
I don't agree with that part about the alarm. If your building doesn't have adequate detectors and I add one for my own benefit, you as a landlord can't then turn around and say "Oh that's mine, I need that" when I leave because obviously you didn't care about having proper detection in the first place. They should at least have reimbursed the plaintiff for adding it and the upkeep for all those years. Other than that it was a fair ruling.
I agree. The plaintiff however should’ve made clear if any additions (whether for safety or not) would be reimbursed/deducted from the rent and left behind, or taken with the person who bought it.
I think its crappy that the landlord didn't have alarms in place, but the lease was pretty clear that it prevents removal of things that become part of the infrastructure (which is pretty standard in commercial leases) at the time that the alarms became mandatory the plaintiff should have negotiated with the landlord to provide those - or to split them with him. unfortunately imho often tenanst get saddled with installing fire alarm systems if they become necessary after they are already in the building.
Commercial leases are often way more in favor of owners than the people renting. The people renting commercial space are often responsible for repairs and property taxes, and other things that in a residential renting situation would often be the responsibility of the owner. I'm not surprised that he didn't get his deposit back.
Initially, I thought the plaintiff should win, given it had been 20 years. Juat chaulk it up to "normal wear and tear." But with the mess he made, he definitely did not deserve anything back.
@6Summerville the 375 was rent not a favor... doing what you signed agreement to do doesn't earn you the right to a security deposit no damages earn your security deposit back.
Commercial leases are not the same as residential. Anything affixed to the property becomes a permanent fixture unless otherwise specified by the lease. This may vary by state but is the general consensus. It's best to do a walk-through prior to terminating or the end of the lease so that there is a clear understanding of what is expected. Especially if there was a long-term lease. Repairs or restoration might come out cheaper for one of the parties, and a decision can be made about how it will be handled. Of course, follow-up with an email regarding what was the understanding of the walk-through.
If I had a big herpe sore on my lip, I'd put a band aid or make up over it. Not trying to shame but try not to walk around with open wounds where everyone else has to look at it.
Cory, you don’t understand business. Yes he paid that money for rent but that was money well spent so he could conduct his business and earn a profit. The amount of the money spent is not germane to the subject. In fact, the defendant could’ve sued for the cost above and beyond the 1500 that he had to spend repairing the place. I’m surprise the defendant didn’t have a counter suit saying look, I had to spend way more than 1500 bucks to correct the items that you did incorrectly.
@rcbrooks1123 I understand business. Sometimes, you push things into a forgiveness bucket and keep it pushing... I have been in real estate for over 20 years and see landlords do it all the time... They say it is the cost of doing business and they are grateful for a long-term tenant... It pays for itself over time...
What a clown landlord. It cannot be anymore greater than this. In the years, 20 years did you guy pay his rent? Good and he cannot just let go $1500. What a clown.😢😢😢😢😢
Because that's not how leases work. Security deposits are to used to repair things after a tenant leaves. The defendant had to repair a lot of things beyond wear and tear. This case is a perfect example of why security deposits exists. The plaintiff made a number of changes that the owner had to fix after the plaintiff left. They were not cosmetic things to make the place look pretty. They were all to bring the space back to code so that it could be leased legally again. And the repairs exceeded the security deposit amount.

Good lord is she ok? She looked like she was about to fall down... the woman with the defendant.
That’s how I look on the inside.
I hate the way the plaintiff talks he keeps sniffing his nose swaggering everywhere like he's standing at a podium in front of a concert
1875$ a month for rent doesn’t give you the right to leave a mess.

Cutting the wires was just malicious.

i have a complaint when the plaintiff doesn't pay taxes
When things are attached to a building. It becomes part of the building
What a naive tenant. The landlord should have countersued for additional cost of repairs. Teach him a lesson.
I don't agree with that part about the alarm.

See boys and girls.You don't have to be articulate nor have good communication skills to own & run a business. Don't let that stop you!

Is the defendant's wife OK?
zero common sense
Waste of a case

He made 375k off that man. Giving back his security was the RIGHT thing to do.
@6Summerville the 375 was rent not a favor... doing what you signed agreement to do doesn't earn you the right to a security deposit no damages earn your security deposit back.

How much was his rent a month? $1,800? Even with property taxes that is nowhere near $360,000. That’s $36,000 plus taxes.
I can tell that the plaintiff has an attitude, and he hasn't even opened his mouth
How?
I'm too focused on the Plaintiffs hair
the female in judge has been talking about marital relationship with female plaintiffs & defendants quite a lot these days. is it really required?
if it is well of 1500 the Landlord could have counter sued
$375k in rent? You literally paid off the landlord’s mortgage for them.
I would hope and only imagine he made quadruple in that far as a profits
If I had a big herpe sore on my lip, I'd put a band aid or make up over it. Not trying to shame but try not to walk around with open wounds where everyone else has to look at it.
$375k over 20 years... He should have gotten all plus a diamond bracelet...
$375 was for rent, not some pass to destroy the place...
I'm left wondering why he didn't build or buy his own place lol

Sorry dude, no one gets $357,000.00 in small claims court. LOL!

nice of defendant to bring his elderly mother to court with him.
You're being sarcastic, right?

Smoke alarm is new code
Smoke alarms has been part of commercial and home codes sine 1980's. You fell behind the times, dude.

Your typical section 8.... you think he should get congrats for paying rent????😂 he used the place???? Why wouldn't he pay rent
He probably spent it at some point
The defendant is garbage… a 20years good tenancy, paying on time, why not just give back the $1500?? What a 💩person
He probably spent it at some point
