- The plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant and soon found it was unsuitable for her and her son because the neighbors were partying pot smokers and mail thieves. The plaintiff was let out of her lease, but the defendant kept some of the deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant says she has every right to withhold the money because the plaintiff broke the lease.
Case #28026
#PeoplesCourt #RealityTV #Court
This case had me bawling. My plaintiff is just trying so hard to do the best with what she has. So proud of her! ❤
I know that poor lady probably works so hard to raise her son and I feel so bad that she ended up in that dangerous situation, it's not easy or cheap to move I feel like she should have gotten money for moving cost 😢
Agree she is adorable! Defendant also seemed like a nice lady in the end as she wished she could have said something and obviously it’s because she is not the owner but labeled as a landlord. Such a cute episode!:)
I’m glad she stood up for herself!
Omg, poor lady. Can't imagine the horror she and her child went through. I'm glad she moved out, and that she & her son live peacefully now.
I think she was one of the most honest plaintiffs I've ever seen. I loved her accent.
That poor plaintiff. I am glad she won. She was adorable, I love her. She's such a joy.
Now this is how you come to court Prepaired!!! With photos and police reports!!!
Prepared!
The plaintiff went through so much and she was so sweet…..I’m so glad she stood up for herself! Greedy snobbie defendant 🙄
Congratulations girl. Don't let people walk all over you. Hope you and your son enjoy a peaceful, happy and safe life. ❤
Awwwe what the plaintiff went thru!🥺
May God's blessing shine upon the plaintiff and her son 🥰🙏🕊
I was so moved by this case. I wish the plaintiff and her son a peaceful and happy life ❤
I’m always a little taken aback at what some people choose to wear to court, especially when you know you’re going to be on tv. The defendant is dressed like she’s going to a local bar.
In 1999 😅
@@sneakerfreak2002 Haaa! Good one!
These bare shoulder shirts made a (bad) comeback. Walmart nylon....
No respect for the legal system anymore. It’s so much worse these days. I went to court and people were wearing sweats…. I was so disgusted in it all
Same with jury duty… cut off shorts, halter tops, distressed jeans ugh!!
Not only is she cute ands seems very nice and honest she comes off as very smart and STRONG! How many people would’ve been in tears telling these stories. Defendant is heartless and greedy to hold on to 300$!!!
The defendant is trying to keep a measley $300 and all that the plaintiff went through? Come on man!
How heartless can the defendant be? Then to go into the hall and say "there's so much I want to say but can't..." stick to the FACTS lady. I'm so glad the plaintiff and her son weren't harmed. Sounds like a slum anyone can get into and I can imagine just how horrifying these traumatic experiences were. Literally being terrorized where you lay your head is just inhumane.
It seems like the defendant wanted to give the money back but it wasn’t up to her it was up the actual owner of the property and her contract as a manager. She says to Doug when he say why didn’t you just give the money back and she say trust me as if she was going to say trust me I wanted to but didn’t. she just said there is so much I want to say but can’t. I think she was alluding to the contract she has with the landlord and can’t disclose those details on television. And there might be other things going on low income families maybe some of them gang involved and getting them evicted has also been a struggle.
As heartless as she is stupid. Who goes to court dressed like that????
@@TheAray6omg thank you so much for saying this because that's EXACTLY how I read it too. I think she was the fall guy for the owner. To me it seemed like she wanted to give the money back and did feel bad for the woman but her hands were tied by the owner. Either way stinks it had to come to this, but all was made right. Plus besides the judgement she gets a free trip and they pay you for your appearance. Glad everything worked out for her. What a horror she went through. Doesn't seem like she has a stitch of entitlement in her either. I wish her all the best.
The defendant said she was just looking out for the owner, but I bet SHE IS the owner...
She’s a compulsive liar and a snake 💯
It easy to go on a city government website and do a property search if you have the address.
Just for $300? I hope in the other lawsuit she wins and gets compensated generously. And I hope that her and her son are living comfortably now and in a safe area
Judge Judy would have a conniption if the defendant were to wear that top in her courtroom!
It is inappropriate, it's not a club lady!
I hope the plaintiff and her son live somewhere they have peace and safety. The landlord is too cheap to hire security to ensure that the tenants are safe along with the property.
She won't evict the awful tennants who steal and threaten?.. drug money must be good.. how awful :{
JJ where did you think u coming to,the beach🤣🤣🤣
Are we in court or the club? Cover your shoulders! 👩🏿⚖️
It was dispute here on UA-cam comments once, it had to do with JJ, when she told a defendant to cover up. I said what you said. Oh boy, I got attacked by some ladies. People don't understand that when you are in court, church go can't go dressed up like you are going to a club or a beach. It's 100% inappropriate and disrespectful to the judge. Those judges have earned the respect they deserve.
JJ has made those comments for men too, when they go to the court wearing kneeless pants, shorts etc.
I totally agree. Cover your shoulders. Who goes to court like that ?
💯
Honestly what is wrong with her shoulders showing If people could go to church with his shoulders showing If people could go to school with their shoulders showing and people going to step outside with your shoulders showing you keep on forgetting what year yeah I live in right because that's what it seems like because if it's okay for a female to wear whatever they want for no one to touch them then it should be okay as long as it's neat how a person can have no clothes and still y'all will be like oh they have to dress professional how dare they not dressed the way that we want them to dress when half the time most of them don't have the money have the time that's how they dress over there half the time it's none of your damn business yeah I want to pick on people's clothing and shoes and hairstyles and not care about people's personalities or what's in their heads yeah I care more about how people put on their bodies like as long as that person is not naked I don't see what's wrong with it sad that most of your females who say this when y'all could go outside and dress however you want and then when someone says something to you I want to be like but it's my body I can wear what I want I bought those clothes but once it goes to anyone else you are the same females who want to start talking mess about someone else who does the same damn thing you have to be ashamed of yourself for talking like that about other people if you don't have nothing nice to say keep it to your damn self
🤣🤣🤣
Seen this before. Can't forget that blue sleeveless sun top that the defendant is wearing. Someone please tell her she's in a courtroom show on national television 📺.
omg yes, i was literally looking to see if anyone else said something before i did! lol.
@@lydiapalmer9915 OK 🙂
Judge Judy would have made her put a sweater on
but the plaintiffs high heeled wrestling boots 😂
Too funny, I was just thinking the same thing LOL Girlfriend better cover up in a courtroom, PERIOD.
That was heartbreaking to listen to 💔
That lady is so cute she is just so grateful for anything that she is given and that is how you should act even if it's as little as 300 bucks she is thanking everyone and has a huge smile on her face even after all she has been through. i bet she is also a great mom to her boy.
Simp alert!
@@sneakerfreak2002 hell yeah i am a simp for a nice lady who is nice to others if that is a bad thing then hey you can call me simp all day baby
@@bogibsimmons wow. How sad
@@sneakerfreak2002 yup super sad I just like nice people how messed up is that.
@@bogibsimmons sad sad sad
The plaintiff is beautiful inside out
The landlord/defendant likes to act like she is doing low-income people favors, but then looks for excuses to keep their much-needed money. Hypocrisy and greed at its very best. Pathetic.
It is actually slum lording. Quite common for centuries. Not hypocrisy, but there is the greed for money in the mix.
lol ain't nobody getting rich off of renting to poor people. 🤯
@@gutwallst6645: If it wasn't enriching, no one would do it. Unfortunately, poor people - because of their circumstances - are the easiest to take advantage of, and the easiest to make money off of without as much work. A bit of Socio-economic education would really benefit you.
Any litigant wearing a shirt with the shoulders cut out should automatically lose.
Absolutely. If you don't know how to dress for court then stay home.
Sound stupid sounds like you're part of a problem because no matter what a person wears does not indicate if a person should lose a case or win a case should not indicate if they should be touched or not should not indicate if they're smart or stupid or anything it's how they perceive themselves in general y'all talking about I agree yeah they should lose their case because of what they're wearing their showing shoulders oh my God how dare she show her shoulders like come on these people outside who show their shoulders to this day even when it's cold outside people show their shoulders in school people go to work and they show their shoulders with their clothes now only people like yeah I have issues with shoulders showing and that's weird to me like you have more issues of what she's wearing then what's going on in the case that's weird when people point out what people are wearing and how they're here is or what's on the person's feet as long as they're getting their in their clothes it does not matter how you present yourself in the way you speak and how you hold yourself is how that matters that person could have came in with holes in their clothes and still win the case that they know how to present themselves
Plaintiff deserves all the blessings god can bestow.
Do people just have no idea what to wear to court?
Poor woman was terrorized . My dad had two apartments years ago in CA. Some do trash the place when leaving after sitting there for at least 3 months rent free because evictions take time. In CA the courts are pretty much for the tenants. What could have been a decent investment gradually became a nightmare. Not charging a security deposit is on her. I’ve never heard of such a thing but she probably thinks no rent is better than nothing. Ridiculous. I am 52 now and I remember when dad finally sold those two buildings. When the last one went through escrow the look of relief on his face was priceless as if 1000 lbs of weight fell off. People assume the owners/ landlords are rich and can take the blow. They are wrong. For many this is what puts food on the table, pays the taxes and fees just having rentals, etc. For some it is a life’s dream to acquire a rental property….
Just saying
Many landlords take in monthly income and do very little work, other than calling the plumbing every once in a while. It is by no means like a refular 40 hour a week job. I feel little sympathy for them
Landlords take on ALL
the risk. The average landlord doesn’t come from a wealthy background, and many are from very humble beginnings. Many work very hard to save up the down payment for their first rental and often do a lot of DIY rehab on their properties, often on nights and weekends while working a regular 40 hour week at their day jobs. They and their families often live frugally for years in order to save for down payments on future rentals, because their rentals are an investment for their retirement, in the same way that IRA’s and 401k’s are. But a lot of landlords are people who prefer owning actual property rather than stock market funds because they feel like it’s safer. (I don’t necessarily agree.) At some point they are able to ease up on saving because they’ve (hopefully) built up some equity in their first rental units, so they use that equity to put a down payment on the next rental they want to buy. Then they repeat the process until they have enough to retire. And retiring doesn’t always mean that they just sit around relaxing. Many do all of the property management:
all of the repairs & improvements inside and out, landscaping, collecting rent, book keeping, finding & screening prospective tenants, etc. They have to pay the mortgage even if the tenant doesn’t pay or if the rental sits empty because there is no one renting the unit. If a tenant falls behind in rent it can take months to evict them and the landlord might not ever get paid back for the missed rent. Some renters cause a lot of damage that exceeds the damage deposit. Or even if the damages are covered by the deposit it may take extra time to finish them, along with any cleaning to get the place ready to rent again. So again, no income during that time.
@synnove1046 oh please; if being a landlord wasn't good enough income, you wouldn't do it. Period. Lol
@@judaciac1541 Fact are facts. Overall, investing your money in mutual funds is a better investment - better returns. That’s one reason I’d never want to be a landlord, at least not for the money.
It's a repeat, but I will still watch, because I love me some People's Court! Good for the plaintiff!
Whew lord. Listening to this lady talk almost made me cry a lil bit. I hope she gets a better situation
The defendant is heartless this poor woman and her son went through too much after only living there for 3 months I’m glad they made it out safely 🙏🏿 I agree with Judge Milian give her all her 💸 back not a portion of it 🤦🏾♂️ the plaintiff should have sued for pain & suffering,emotional distress and mental anguish. Her & her son shouldn’t have to live like this 💯
Plaintiff accent is so adorable If I was the judge I would give her 5000
Simp alert!
I think the defendant took advantage of the plaintive because she is a Hispanic woman, and her English is not very good. So I feel like the defendant tried to take advantage of her and think that she wasn’t going to make it this big of a deal and actually take her to court. Smh
The plaintiff should have gotten back every dime she ever paid. smh
Damage?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 all I could think of was Soulja Boy saying "Drake?!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
All this over 300 the landlord should be ashamed to see a single woman go thru this
It’s the landlord’s fault. Your felon tenant kicked down the door after pointing a gun at her and threatening her. Instead of caring about her safety and replacing it immediately, you leave it. Clearly the residents of that building are criminals. They stole her mail. They kicked down her door and stole her appliances once she left.
How is she responsible for the theft that occurred due to the landlord’s negligence after she turned over the keys?
Clean that building up.
Sounds like a fucking dump.
The defendant is ridiculously dis-hearted. lol
The plaintiff is literally adorable.
And the defendant isn't?????
Some people have no moral compass, honestly felt so bad for this woman I would've taking my own money to make here right.
JM always looks amazing but in this episode shes glowing. Her face and hair color is just flawless.
Yes tv ring lights work miracles.
I was ready to have her live here with me!
I love this plaintiff 😁
Sad to see the program is ending. I enjoyed it for many years
OMG! You just broke my heart. I just checked Google to confirm, and they're also canceling Judge Mathis as well....the only two shows I even watch.
The defendant is a crook. 🙄
The defendant is old enough to know how to dress appropriately for court. That blue top ain't it.
I think the plaintiff was so sweet! I'm glad she won. Hope she is safe now.
Warner Bros made a stupid decision to cancel the show🙄 Still popular to this day too.
THEY DID?!
@@Opossumpuss unfortunately yep😡 I guess they felt not enough people are watching it on TV anymore🙄
@@kingchrisl89 ever heard of budget cuts to make a bigger profit, that is why they are cancelling People's court. But there will be other court shows. There is Hot Bench from Judge Judy franchise. And divorce court, and others still on television. The other court shows leaving is Judge Mathis, but he has another court gig coming besides his reality show with his family on cable.
Another Greedy Landlord!
That landlord is coldddddd
What's with the audiance giggleling in the background when this lady explains that she was held at gunpoint by her drug adducted neighbouroug boyfriend ! Come on people and the defendant laughing too ! Poor lady, glad that the police took the matter seriousely.
I could barely understand the plaintiff. I just watched another People's Court case with people who were American and spoke plain, understandable English. Judge Milian acted like she couldn't understand those folks! But she sits with pure patience for this woman. Wish I she could have extended the same patience and kindness to those litigants.
Damn where this neighborhood at , Hell?! Damn!!!
The plaintiff is very courageous! She’s a force to reckon with.
$300 ?!? How is she trying to charge her for someone else robbing her house! Some landlords are really unreasonable
Does anyone know how to dress for court anymore???
The plaintiff was so sweet and caring the defendant wanted to change her mind because she doesn't ask for the bond money upfront.... and if the defendant wants damages covered sue the bloody other people who have been hounding the poor plaintiff
Defendant’s logic makes no sense. She says it’s not worth it to collect security since it’s too much trouble to chase them so she just asks for first and last month’s rent. But, she could have asked for first and last month’s rent and security which is very common.
I believe she said she rents in low-income areas, and tenants are unable to come up with 1st, last, and security. So she just does first and last because it’s a 7-month lease which then goes to month-to-month. Unless they fulfill the 7 months and then give 30 days notice, she gets to keep the last month’s rent to pay for damages. That’s much easier than tracking them down and getting them an itemized list of damages in the allotted time (which is only 14 days in Florida, I think?).
Worst slum lords never do deposit but will get them on any damages to the property or that the tenants left the place in trash and debris.
This poor lady went through hell I hope she and her son are safe in their new place
something tells me, there's more to this story, SUS
😳 The plaintiff was smart to GTFOT. She should've sued for pain and suffering because that man should've been kicked out after he broke in her mailbox. The manager don't GAF as long as they pay rent.
I felt for the plaintiff. Bless her.
There should be transparency when leasing apartments they always do inspections when everyone else is at work or school then you move in and the upstairs neighbours is a giant who stomps and likes to rearrange furniture as a hobby and the kids next door just screams all night lol
Ok this poor lady was absolutely terrorized! She stood her ground and got her $ back. I can’t believe they even tried to keep anything when she’s having her door kicked in, guns in her stomach her mail and on and on I’m sure😮
This woman has been through so much. It’s only $300 for God’s sake. Give her the money back.
Why didn't the Plaintiff sue for the cost of the appliances? It was because of the Defendant's negligence that she lost them.
How was the defendant negligent? The defendant can’t control the neighborhood. People broke in and stole appliances, but there wasn’t any indication that it was one of the other tenants. And even if it were, the landlord isn’t able to control the tenants to that degree.
Nice choice of court top
❤ to all you Judge Mathis fans from Phoenix, Az. Been watching since the show started. Time flies!!
That Landlord/management should be embarrassed.Dang I would give her the $300.
Wow… No police reports… Just believe the plaintiff… Shame on the JUDGE and the PLAINTIFF…💯👋🏽
If they charged a deposit it would cut the crime in half!! She just didn't want to give her her money back just because and for no other reason!
I’m sure the taxpayers are on the hook for the bill for the plaintiff for most things.
Jeez that lady went through hell..
Wow!! Scary situation the plaintiff was in
Wow it cost $300 to get to court. It was cheaper for the defendant to just give her the money geesssh
Yo....this plaintiff went thru so much. I felt so bad for her hearing that story. Guns from a gay bf of the tenant next door,getting robbed,knifing her mailbox open....I mean dayum. Glad she's outta there
I would love to know where the defendant rents…….so I never make a mistake of moving there.
Crazy that the defendant was going to penalise the plaintiff for something beyond her control and knowing ehat she had put up with too, unreasonable I think.
the defendant loses points just by showing up in court in that ridiculous outfit
The defendant is gross. Not compassionate at all no empathy over $300 she's nothing but a scammer. How can you not charge a security deposit yet hold her rent as a security deposit for damages she didn't cause ?
Edna Krabapple was at the Highwayman Pub when she got the call from peoples court saying u need 2 come right away!
OMG 😂
this whole thing with needing the tenant to be making 3x or 4x the monthly rent is ridiculous and just bizarre anymore. It wasn't like that years ago, and I'm not going back decades here. It was always a month & a half, you handed that over if you liked the place, there were no credit checks, you didn't have to hand over any paperwork or anything like that, just hand over the month & a half and that was it. No one checked your income or anything, in fact any landlord that requested bank info or to see your pay stubs or your social security number was seen as a scammer, you stayed away from people like that. Whole thing is dumb, especially right now when people are struggling and they want people to be making over 5 or 6 grand per month for a tiny little shithole. They need to regulate the rental market on a NATIONAL level.
They have made renting an apartment as hard as buying a house now.
My apartment required me to earn 3x the rent, provide 3 months of bank statements and paystubs, and pay the deposit, first & last months rent upfront. It is ridiculous!
It has been like that for years. I have been on this earth for 60 years and believe me, little one, they have always wanted people to make 2x, 3x not 4x the monthly rent. And they do credit check on the poorest people. And they do check income, especially if you are disabled and on SSDI, or SSi, or employed.
@@MotherofDragons937 half of them are scammers anymore. I've sat in a courtroom watching these vultures being run through the court system like cattle. the vast majority are a-hole POSs
@@trekgirl65 It has NOT been like that for "years" everywhere. I've been on this earth for half a century and in the NYC tri state region NO ONE was demanding social security numbers or pay stubs in order to rent an apartment. Absolutely NO ONE. They have also not required 3x or 4x in income. I lived in rentals in the 1980s and 1990s, it was neve required, ever. Not to mention a credit check is not necessary, credit checks were made for lending institutions, no one should also be handing over their social security number to a stranger. If any landlord today wants this then they better be prepared for the prospective tenant to also run a background check on the prospective landlord, works both ways. If anyone demands me to be bringing in over 5 or 6 grand per month for a small apartment then that screams REO to me, it screams landlord having trouble paying mortgage, it means stay away. I have owned rentals, I have lived in rentals and I have owned my own house, none of taht is necessary and anyone who tells you it is is bullshitting you.
I wonder if the defendant was involved in the thefts, I mean she is a Slumlord asking the terrorized woman for damages without a security, and that she did not cause..
You didn’t collect security. You have to give her the money back. If there is damage you can sue her. PERIOD!!!
7:10 I would say if you and your children are in danger. Then you should be able to break a lease.
Had to turn the captions on!
Couldn’t just give her the $300 and you got her living in that hell hole? Wow
The defendant should have evicted the neighbour straight away, that lady seems lovely 😢
Send out a memo…How to dress appropriately for COURT.No class defendant!
Thank God i did not have to experience these things😢
The plaintiff reminds me of Ms.Swan. So adorable!!
she had so much to say
The poor defendant /landlord. Ugh. I'd never be a landlord.
Defendant is just a slum lord and trashy. Who the hell wears a shirt like that to court??
I can't believe the plaintiff went through so much trauma living there and the defendant has the audacity to try and take more from her. Just wow.
And no mention of the violent tenants being evicted? SLUM LORD. All she cares about is $$$
Omg who goes to court dressed like that? Good lord 😳
Im sure the defendant is thinking of her negatively in a racist way rather than sticking to the facts as yo what this lady went through
Too bad Judge Milian didnt ask the plaintiff to speak slower. She speaks a different language, Spanish I think, and her English is very heavily accented. If I cant understand half of the case, Im bored.
I understood every single word she said! ❤
She had an accent but her English was very easy to comprehend 🤷♂️
I adore the plaintiff!!!
Repeats starting already.
Somebody please advise both of them how to properly dress for court.
Poor women
