the plaintiff was super honest right down to the exact dollar amount of groceries, didn't charge for what she salvaged. Judge Judy could tell she was a decent person.
@@karissakline6765 totally agree. We just went on vacation and our place hadn’t been cleaned when we got there, we called the rental place and let them know. It took a few hours, but they sent someone out to clean it and then refunded us our cleaning fee ($127) and called us back afterward to check in. That was the right thing to do. These people are a joke.
I own a holiday let as a side business. If someone was doing construction at unreasonable hours and ruined my client's holiday, I'd at least partially reimburse them. The negative review (& word of mouth - that client will tell others) I'd get if I didn't would be more costly than a partial refund. Clients tell me that they book our property because we have all 5 star reviews. Ruining that would cost me several bookings a year - hardly worth risking that for a few hundred. As for the fridge, I would have popped in and tested it before they got there - especially if it had a history of breaking (repairman claimed a history of breakdowns and, most likely, a struggle to get paid if he wanted cash upfront). Reimbursement would go through the books and help keep the tax bill down, so that would be easy enough to arrange, and I'd also ensure that something was organised by way of an apology for the inconvenience - like a hamper of goodies, or tickets for a local attraction, etc. How these people got to treat this very reasonable woman and her family like crap, and still have a business, is beyond me... 🤷♀️
Ppl like the defendants really irritate me. Just reimburse her & go on abt ur life. Ppl make things much more difficult than what they have to be. Such a silly case.
Yes LOL I agree. They would rather come on National television and be exposed for being cheapskates then give the customer at least some compensation because the customer is right in this case. He clearly said that he would reimburse the plaintiff. I understand that customers aren't necessarily always right. But it just seems like it is true in this case.
I can not believe the defenants did not want to reimburse her, after she tried to contact them and they did not respond. Shows what kind of greedy people they really are.
Yup, reminds of my old landlord in College. Was making a mint off the house(3 apartments)I lived in but keep repairing the frig. Buy a new one, cheap a$$!!!
@Mama C Ewwww. I don't know how College students afford rent where I live unless they live on campus or their parents pay. Gotten real pricey. There probably is a a student "ghetto" and I'm sure it lives up to its name.
Be mindful, she got the information of the repair man off the fridge door, he was aware that it has been happening for weeks now, and he asked for cash up front to fix the fridge, so he is not doing a good job either, or he is in on the scam with them, hoping he gets a tenant who is not as smart as this lady. The husband like he do things underhand, heard when he told the wife, to tell JJ about the lease, the Landlords are scammers. I am glad the plaintiff got her money back, it should be more.
Honestly, that's not as much time as one would imagine when renting a home in the Jersey Shore. My parents owned a home the next shore point over and people would rent a year out - it went like hot cakes.
@@Chalk89 that doesn’t mean 6 months isn’t still a long time spent on planning a family vacation. Another property taking longer doesn’t make this take any less time. Six months is still six months regardless of whether or not other properties take a year.
@@Josie-6 you're missing my point. I'm not saying six months isn't a long time when planning, I'm stating that shore homes in NJ usually aren't even able to be rented in the same calendar year because it's in such demand.
This lady paid a lot of money to rent the house for a week. Unbelievable that these people are not the least bit apologetic about the construction noise, the broken fridge and the missing bed
They are not responsible for the construction noise. It's not under their control. They have no reason to apologize nor compensate for it. But the other stuff, yes.
I agree. Also, considering their crystal clear carelessness for the very nice, reasonable plaintiff? Perhaps she should have been awarded more for the whole mess of an ordeal. Broken fridge? Not having the appropriate furniture advertised? The racket upstairs to top it off? (I know, I know, not within their control. HOWEVER! Considering the lousy vacation this family must've had, I think she should have been awarded much more!) Imagine being on your 1 week vaca and having to call and wait around for a fridge repair person, be around as they repair it, etc, and then pay for it.... Just imagine what that took out of her day! Since that 1 week cost so damn much, perhaps it should have been broken down to what she spent hourly for the place, then gotten reimbursed for at least that amount of time that she clearly wasn't relaxed & enjoying a costly vacation. Then being reduced to sleeping on an air mattress in lieu of actual furniture that was supposed to be there? Yep, should have gotten something for that too.
My jaw dropped when the defendant husband whispered 'the lease, the lease' and they were so excited and proud and peacocks to point out that there were 'no guarantees about the condition of the home". What the dummies don't realize is that in order for a house to be considered 'habitable', the tenants have to have access to a working refrigerator on the property The fact they then claim she didn't give them enough time to respond, was also jaw dropping. They had all kinds of time to respond, they chose not to. And lastly, when tenants rent your house for $5300, they are essentially paying at least a couple of months of your mortgage (in 2016) and rather than be dicks, they should have bent over backwards. The fact they wouldn't pay for the repair of their OWN refrigerator speaks volumes about their character or lack of. They are lying, scheming slum lords.
@Mama C yes if you have a disability she would accommodate you. I’ve seen other episodes where she allows ppl to sit, wear sun glasses etc due to their disability. ❤️🩹
I completely disagree with JJ on the construction noise. If the defendants knew (and admittedly they did) that construction was being done on the unit above them, I feel that they were obligated to tell this woman before she paid over $5,000 for a vacation rental. If he couldn't control it and since it wasn't his, he couldn't, then he should have at least told the plaintiff what was going on before he took her money. Geesh!
They acknowledged it was not theirs, but if they were decent Landlords , after the construction work started, they had an opportunity to contact the plaintiff and let her know what was going on, and give her an option, but they were just thinking about the money, they are scammers, and still were looking to win, see how JJ looked at them, I knew she was going to win from the beginning when JJ said if the property belong to them, she would have made them pay too.
They stated they did not know when she was doing construction work up there and that it was on and off. They don't control a different property's actions.
This is a reason to not book too far from your stay in advance. That booking was almost a year before the stay. But I must admit that defendants should have contacted the plaintiff about the ongoing construction to avoid her from having a bad time.😕
They’re getting over $5k in rent? And they’re going to whine about doing the right thing and paying a little over $500 to make things right?? And the tenant was nice about it too. I’d make them pay the whole grocery bill if they took that long to respond!
Anyone who's ever heard of Judge Judy knows that they better come prepared. It's not like this was a surprise for the defendants, they agreed to appear on the show! And yet the wife seemed completely unaware of what her husband said to the plaintiff (when he finally got back to her). Smh
Demolition overhead starting at 7am every morning? Not our problem. Refrigerator not working & ruined your food? Not our problem. Find someone to fix it. On a Sunday. On your vacation. And pay them yourself. Then go grocery shopping again on your vacation. One of the beds is missing? Not our problem. Just "run out" and buy an air mattress. On a weekend night. On your vacation. Glad you paid us $5300 in advance! We'll reimburse you the cost of the fridge repair......If you take time off from work & go to court for it. Horrible people. I feel so bad for the plaintiff.
somebody spent $5000 to rent the space, you would think they need to make sure everything is in good order and working. what a waste of time to take them to court for just $480 reimbursement
They only care about the $$$ not people. I hope she writes a review and no one rents their place again. How can they treat their renters that way after they paid over 5,000$!! The landlords are pathetic.
You have to be so careful when you rent vacation properties. All the owners care about is getting that rent or the week. These people clearly don't care about their tenants.
My friends found what looked like a great deal on a vacation rental in the mountains. Unfortunately, not only was it not nearly as attractive as the pics, but almost nothing was working, not even the lock on the front door. The leaky roof didn't improve the atmosphere, considering it rained non-stop for the first two days. Oh, and the owners? They were out of the country during that time, and had their cell phones turned off. No emergency number or anything.
I wouldn’t ever rent in that location. More than 20 years ago, my sister and her husband rented at the Jersey Shore. They ended up Spring cleaning the house, buying all new bedding because what was offered was so filthy that they couldn’t even wash it, and they were afraid of bugs. They even bought mattress covers at the local store. They also bought their own clean pots, pans, plates and cups, etc. The landlord kept their deposit saying they didn’t clean the place after the rental!!! I sent them a letter explaining the facts to them and poof! Their deposit reappeared in the mail magically. Horrible landlords. Thieves, really….
JJ says that the the defendants do not own the upstairs place so they are not responsible for that. The defendant knew that one sibling bought out the other two siblings and was doing renovation/construction work on and off upstairs. It was his responsibility to inform future renters that there is construction work going on upstairs from time to time and there may be some noise. This will allow the renters to decide whether they want to rent there or not. People renting a vacation place are looking for peace and quiet, not paying 5000 plus a week to listen to construction noise. I wish JJ would have given back one night charges to the defendant for dealing with all the incovenience of dealing with broken fridge, texting landlord and being ignored by them, having to call the appliance repairman, cleaning the fridge after food got bad/ ice cream melted, missing single bed and was told to go buy an air mattress (take a trip to store and lug it back),dealing with the noise and disturbances from upstairs which probably led to not so good vacation. She definitely deserved a refund of atleast one day rental charge.
In this case, the plaintiff should have been awarded for the time and effort it took to be reimbursed. This way it would be a deterrent for landlords such as this. The landlords lost nothing. They have a working fridge and made money while she was staying there.
@Anna Esmaili The owners received payment for the duplex in November, 2015. That money is long gone. Owners should be accountable for these problems, and JJ saw this. IMHO owners should have been penalized for construction noise, too.
Yikes. What they paid for a week in "shabby chic Jersey shore cabin" they could have had a nice vacation in Europe or the Bahamas. I hope they were splitting the rental fee with the other 7 people with them.
These landlords are horrible… imagine spending the time, money and effort to avoid paying $500 … i hope they lose business when people watch this OR they change (it’s possible, people sometimes do)
I don't know, I buy ultrapasteurized milk that can keep out the fridge for months if unopened, however I prefer the taste of cold milk, so you can find an unopened milk cartons in my fridge from time to time, I come home, put it in the fridge an open it once cold. Some cold cuts are very spoilage resistant, after all they were initially invented as a method of meat preservation, an although modern versions are not as salty and fermented as the original recipes, many can stand an few hours at room temperature.
I totally appreciate how judge Judy checks people's body language. It can make others uncomfortable if they feel someone is being combative even just with their physical posture. I will say, the arm cross move is typically to self soothe; therefore to help keep him calm, so in this instance I'm unsure how to feel about it?
if you make 5300$ for 1 week for a property, everything better be in tiptop condition. i wouzld have reimbursed them and give them 20% off the nxt time they would want to come. or simply buy a new fridge and have it delivered with a huge fruitbasket.
disgusting defendants. i hope they lose their property. they are not fit to rent it out. charging that much when there is construction going on is disgusting.
The defendants are so mean spirited. they should’ve paid straight away for the fridge the mattress and even for the disturbance the plaintiffs got. $5300 and not a working fridge amazingly terrible!
Imagine charging $5300, lying and saying you have more beds than you do, then telling the tenant to go buy an air mattress because you falsely advertised the property. Whether they reimburse the mattress or not, it is absolutely fucking ridiculous to tell someone you’re providing them a real bed with a real mattress then telling them just to buy an air mattress. With $5300, they had more than enough to go pick up a small mattress, but all they did was offer to reimburse an air mattress?
I’ll Say it again… the defendants are scammers… they happily took a massive amount of money… my god… just be good people .. it’s not hard!!! I’m also in shock that a cottage is 5300$ for one week! That’s outrageous!!! We can get a cottage here on Lake Huron for 2000$ for a whole month and it’s beautiful.
That is a huge amount of money to pay. There should not have been any issues for that price. Why did they not just reimburse her? Save all this nonsense.
I clean for an airbnb and me and my boss are on top of concerns. If something is missing or not working we will handle it asap. I went to an airbnb in LA and their fridge was absolutely full and pack with previous guest groceries. We couldn't fit our groceries in the fridge at all. We don't want to eat any opened food. Why doesn't the housekeeper throw it out every cleaning? Then the owner wanted us to start the laundry, because we were 8 guest but we literally only used the house to sleep and snack because we were at disneyland, which did not say in the ad. We told them no. We would check out at 7am so housekeeper to clean and wash. When you have a 4 bedroom house please have extra comforters, sheets, and towels so if guest don't check out til the last hour you can go in and switch linens faster. Set up an extra pay with your boss to wash the dirty linens at your home. That's what we do in our airbnb.
$5300 to stay for a week and the husband tells them to buy an air mattress to sleep on when there’s a bed missing that was meant to be there… Yeah nah 🤦♂️
Deplorable landlords, trying to imply that because the lease said it was an "as is" rental should excuse having a non-working refrigerator. What if the tenants arrived and the plumbing didn't work? Would they still expect to make $5K+ since it was as is? I think a GOOD property owner would also have offered a discount for annoyance of the construction, even if it was beyond their control and not legally their responsibility. Hopefully because of this show they never had another renter.
Seriously would you be bothered making a complete show of yourself for $400 or so, the construction with nothing to do with them, but for that small price I would just pay up and shut up...ridiculous what people will sue for/contest.
Talking about shady. The nerve of the wife 😤. Yall shady bruh. Sounds like the vacation rental was a big disappointment as soon as they step foot in the door.
It sounds like the husband was just gonna reimburse the Plaintiffs but his wife said "No. Uh uh" and wanted to play hard ball... 🙄 He should have just reimbursed them anyway.
What in the hell is wrong with these “landlords”…other than they’re cheap as hell and probably broke and are hoping these renters would let it go!?! People baffle me. Why is doing the right thing so hard for some people? Especially at their ages….it’s not like they’re kids,learning about the real way of the world.
This is why i dont like AirBnB!! Faulty appliances and noisy neighbours. Give me the comfort of a Hotel with Room Service and spare towels from the concierge anyday!!
Why have a business if you are not serious about it? I’m sure he wanted to reimburse her immediately but the wifey said OH NO WAY Also, the delay is replying to the texts is appalling
Let's see. I made 5300 but I want to fight these scumbags that broke our 20 yo fridge and then fixed it. And wants to stick us for Tbones?? Miss anything? What a b... JJ should have given it all back!! Call it A...hole tax!
No way someone should pay 5300 for a weekly rental and have to come out of their pocket for a working fridge. And if there was an issue she should have been accommodated IMMEDIATELY. Texts should have been answered with urgency. That's crazy.
She should have left after the first day when the issues were unresolved. Checked into a hotel or found another rental. Less than the advertised number of beds, non working appliances, construction noise, aka. NOT AS ADVERTISED. They would have fared better filling a claim with the rental company and credit card.
My first apartment, the fridge and freezer broke and my landlord sent over a repairman. He gave me $250 to reimburse me for my food, and I didn't even ask. These people are horrible.
The defendant thought she was going to get out of owing any money by bringing up the contract that the plaintiff agreed to. However, she failed to understand that her husband literally voided that part of the contract by telling the plaintiff that he WOULD reimburse her 😂
could you imagine getting paid 5500 dollars for renting a little apartment for 7 days and not being attentive to the customers. like wdf is wrong with you.
If you have a vacation rental property, you better make sure that your description matches what’s there, families like myself, rent vacation homes based on your description of amenities and bed arrangements most importantly! We’ve been lucky so far and the homes have been exactly what was expected for that kind of Money!
the plaintiff was super honest right down to the exact dollar amount of groceries, didn't charge for what she salvaged. Judge Judy could tell she was a decent person.
And calling the repair guy to take care of the fridge and being there for him to let him in ON THEIR VACATION? These landlords are an absolute joke.

People renting a vacation place are looking for peace and quiet, not paying 5000 plus a week to listen to construction noise.
I wish JJ would have given back one night charges to the defendant for dealing with all the incovenience of dealing with broken fridge, texting landlord and being ignored by them, having to call the appliance repairman, cleaning the fridge after food got bad/ ice cream melted, missing single bed and was told to go buy an air mattress (take a trip to store and lug it back),dealing with the noise and disturbances from upstairs which probably led to not so good vacation. She definitely deserved a refund of atleast one day rental charge.
the landlords are making huge amounts of money for that week, the renters are very reasonable, pay them.
$5,300. For ONE WEEK. And you need to repair the fridge, buy an air mattress and replace your groceries. Wow, what GREAT property managers.
In this case, the plaintiff should have been awarded for the time and effort it took to be reimbursed. This way it would be a deterrent for landlords such as this. The landlords lost nothing. They have a working fridge and made money while she was staying there.
And didn’t even have to make a trip or call for the repair guy as the people on their VACATION took care of it…unreal😑
You mean the plaintiff? She made a great effort to make things work, instead of enjoying her holiday.

Yeah- the last thing you need on vacation is to fix SOMEONE ELSE’s fridge and go out and buy an air mattress to sleep on! 🤨
@Anna Esmaili The owners received payment for the duplex in November, 2015. That money is long gone. Owners should be accountable for these problems, and JJ saw this. IMHO owners should have been penalized for construction noise, too.
I love when she tells people to uncross their arms.
Yikes. What they paid for a week in "shabby chic Jersey shore cabin" they could have had a nice vacation in Europe or the Bahamas. I hope they were splitting the rental fee with the other 7 people with them.
"shabby chic" is one of those red flag words in real estate and rental listing, like "cozy".
It really means “shitty-chic”
She should’ve been reimbursed for the fold out bed as well. She should’ve gotten half of the $5,300 back in my opinion.
I agree.
These landlords are horrible… imagine spending the time, money and effort to avoid paying $500 … i hope they lose business when people watch this OR they change (it’s possible, people sometimes do)
When an ad says Shabby Chic, run, not walk, away. You will always get the shabby part never the chic.
Absolutely disgusting that the plaintiff had to drag these two bums to court for $417.00. Outrageous!
How was she able to save the milk and Cold cuts. That's nasty I wouldn't be able to eat that shit after begin in a warm fridge all night
Maybe she had a cooler with her
@@raimeyewens7518 hopefully she did
I don't know, I buy ultrapasteurized milk that can keep out the fridge for months if unopened, however I prefer the taste of cold milk, so you can find an unopened milk cartons in my fridge from time to time, I come home, put it in the fridge an open it once cold.
Some cold cuts are very spoilage resistant, after all they were initially invented as a method of meat preservation, an although modern versions are not as salty and fermented as the original recipes, many can stand an few hours at room temperature.
For 5 grand could’ve went to Mexico all inclusive
And had lobster and drinks galore every day for everyone!
I totally appreciate how judge Judy checks people's body language. It can make others uncomfortable if they feel someone is being combative even just with their physical posture.
I will say, the arm cross move is typically to self soothe; therefore to help keep him calm, so in this instance I'm unsure how to feel about it?
I can tell its the Wife who is controlling, even Jack😄
I got that impression as well.
Just look at the defendnats and her attitude, and you woud not want to rent from them
if you make 5300$ for 1 week for a property, everything better be in tiptop condition. i wouzld have reimbursed them and give them 20% off the nxt time they would want to come. or simply buy a new fridge and have it delivered with a huge fruitbasket.
Part 2 is here 😊
She should have been reimbursed more - and warning to anyone looking to book this property!!!
disgusting defendants. i hope they lose their property. they are not fit to rent it out. charging that much when there is construction going on is disgusting.
Willing to bet the defendants knew about the construction upstairs and intentionally didn’t tell the renter.
The defendants are so mean spirited. they should’ve paid straight away for the fridge the mattress and even for the disturbance the plaintiffs got. $5300 and not a working fridge amazingly terrible!
I like to hear judge judy say "I'd like to take a look at it" lol
ME TOOOOO!! I thought I was the only weirdo who liked this!!! I say it to my daughter now being silly!!!
@@kmsleyang1980 we're both weirdos lol 🤣
@@symonejohnson5225 my people 😂😂
How petty just pay the lady smh
What a waste of time!! Just pay her and go on with your lives!
If it was me I would of done judgement for half of that rent back plus the reimbursement. Would like to do the the 5k!!!
Imagine charging $5300, lying and saying you have more beds than you do, then telling the tenant to go buy an air mattress because you falsely advertised the property. Whether they reimburse the mattress or not, it is absolutely fucking ridiculous to tell someone you’re providing them a real bed with a real mattress then telling them just to buy an air mattress. With $5300, they had more than enough to go pick up a small mattress, but all they did was offer to reimburse an air mattress?
Disgusting selfish defendants. I hope no one rents from them again.
She should get a refund, this is outrageous. Fridge that doesn’t work, construction above..unbelievable
“Un-cross!”
The defendants really thought they could win this? Looooool
I’ll
Say it again… the defendants are scammers… they happily took a massive amount of money… my god… just be good people .. it’s not hard!!! I’m also in shock that a cottage is 5300$ for one week! That’s outrageous!!! We can get a cottage here on Lake Huron for 2000$ for a whole month and it’s beautiful.
We're Done 😅
The husband wanted to reimburse her but the wife got salty
Good grief. If there's a refrigerator provided in the rental, it's reasonable to expect that it would work. What greedy folks!!
That is a huge amount of money to pay. There should not have been any issues for that price. Why did they not just reimburse her? Save all this nonsense.
I clean for an airbnb and me and my boss are on top of concerns. If something is missing or not working we will handle it asap. I went to an airbnb in LA and their fridge was absolutely full and pack with previous guest groceries. We couldn't fit our groceries in the fridge at all. We don't want to eat any opened food. Why doesn't the housekeeper throw it out every cleaning? Then the owner wanted us to start the laundry, because we were 8 guest but we literally only used the house to sleep and snack because we were at disneyland, which did not say in the ad. We told them no. We would check out at 7am so housekeeper to clean and wash. When you have a 4 bedroom house please have extra comforters, sheets, and towels so if guest don't check out til the last hour you can go in and switch linens faster. Set up an extra pay with your boss to wash the dirty linens at your home. That's what we do in our airbnb.
“eVeN tHo ThE lEaSe SaYs CoNtRaRy” ugh greedy greedy greedy
Plaintiff was well organized, I feel like the husband of the defendant side was a chill dude but the wife is the problem.
Let’s talk about how much she paid for a week !!! In New Jersey!
That’s skanky to allow a paying tenant to cover your repair costs without reimbursement. What kind of person does that?
omg how stingy! It's YOUR fridge! Just pay for its repair
$5300 to stay for a week and the husband tells them to buy an air mattress to sleep on when there’s a bed missing that was meant to be there… Yeah nah 🤦♂️
I don't know what kind of fridge it was, but for $5300 a week, they can afford to buy a new one
Deplorable landlords, trying to imply that because the lease said it was an "as is" rental should excuse having a non-working refrigerator. What if the tenants arrived and the plumbing didn't work? Would they still expect to make $5K+ since it was as is? I think a GOOD property owner would also have offered a discount for annoyance of the construction, even if it was beyond their control and not legally their responsibility. Hopefully because of this show they never had another renter.
It looked like the wife was trying to control the whole situation, the husband was there but she never let him speak a word 🙄
I binge watch Judge Judy ERRRRRDAY! #CHEFANDREMAXWELL 💙❤
Seriously would you be bothered making a complete show of yourself for $400 or so, the construction with nothing to do with them, but for that small price I would just pay up and shut up...ridiculous what people will sue for/contest.
Uh oh, Jack for sure got in trouble with the wife because of his text that he will reimburse the plaintiff!! :)
Jeff looks like somebody woke him from a very long drunken slumber😂
Talking about shady. The nerve of the wife 😤. Yall shady bruh. Sounds like the vacation rental was a big disappointment as soon as they step foot in the door.
And $5300 is way too much for OC New Jersey‼️
Jersey. Nuff said.
It sounds like the husband was just gonna reimburse the Plaintiffs but his wife said "No. Uh uh" and wanted to play hard ball... 🙄 He should have just reimbursed them anyway.
What in the hell is wrong with these “landlords”…other than they’re cheap as hell and probably broke and are hoping these renters would let it go!?! People baffle me. Why is doing the right thing so hard for some people? Especially at their ages….it’s not like they’re kids,learning about the real way of the world.
This is why i dont like AirBnB!!
Faulty appliances and noisy neighbours.
Give me the comfort of a Hotel with Room Service and spare towels from the concierge anyday!!
😂 the defendants attitude explained they are from Jersey
That really stinks that there was construction. I would be pissed but unfortunately it's true it's not their property.
Why have a business if you are not serious about it? I’m sure he wanted to reimburse her immediately but the wifey said OH NO WAY
Also, the delay is replying to the texts is appalling
Let's see. I made 5300 but I want to fight these scumbags that broke our 20 yo fridge and then fixed it. And wants to stick us for Tbones?? Miss anything? What a b... JJ should have given it all back!! Call it A...hole tax!
These are terrible hosts, they have no right renting vacation properties. I hope the plaintiff left them a really bad rating.
$5300 for a week is more than most monthly mortgages. 😳
Imagine being the landlord's husband... nightmare
Proof that there are slum lords even in Jersey Shore
She put her food in the refrigerator which was warm? Already not working so why would she put food in a warm refrigerator? 🤔🙄
No way someone should pay 5300 for a weekly rental and have to come out of their pocket for a working fridge. And if there was an issue she should have been accommodated IMMEDIATELY. Texts should have been answered with urgency. That's crazy.
Communication is the key. Defendant needs to comminicate more with each other and then their tenant. 😅
She should have left after the first day when the issues were unresolved. Checked into a hotel or found another rental. Less than the advertised number of beds, non working appliances, construction noise, aka. NOT AS ADVERTISED. They would have fared better filling a claim with the rental company and credit card.
My first apartment, the fridge and freezer broke and my landlord sent over a repairman. He gave me $250 to reimburse me for my food, and I didn't even ask. These people are horrible.
The defendant thought she was going to get out of owing any money by bringing up the contract that the plaintiff agreed to. However, she failed to understand that her husband literally voided that part of the contract by telling the plaintiff that he WOULD reimburse her 😂
“ he deleted his leases” 🙄
Greedy scammers!
could you imagine getting paid 5500 dollars for renting a little apartment for 7 days and not being attentive to the customers. like wdf is wrong with you.
If you have a vacation rental property, you better make sure that your description matches what’s there, families like myself, rent vacation homes based on your description of amenities and bed arrangements most importantly! We’ve been lucky so far and the homes have been exactly what was expected for that kind of
Money!
The defendant needs to pay her
