It was a month-to-month tenancy; he could have left at any time. He stayed because he was enjoying only paying $250 for rent. You can't complain about an apartment being illegal and wanting all your rent back when you lived there for almost four years.
You have got to be kidding me! He should have enough money saved up over all that time to purchase a house now. He went from paying $900 to $250 for years.

He pulled the race card! As a 50 year old black-man the experience real racism, this angers me! When real cases of discrimination happen its water down because of BS like this! He was in the wrong he took advantage of the situation and now he wants to profit from it!
@@mamathemeat if you are 50 years old you still didn't live through the severe and more extreme "legal" racism which ended in the early 1960s. A 70 year old for instance can tell you about real racism. So leads me back to my original comment being 50 has nothing to do with it. If you are 5O you mainly grew up in the 1980s and even the 1990s. there isnt any significance difference between racism levels in the 1980s vs today. In other words A 25 year old in America today and a 5o year old experienced just about the same level of racism in their lifetime. No difference
@@JamieRobinson-k3c I am just calling out the bullshit in his comment that he is 50 and he experienced real racism. No 50 year old in America has experienced "real racism" you would have to be at least 65 to 70 years old to have experienced REAL Legal RACISM in America. A 50 year old grew up in the 1980s. What real racism was happening then? I made this same argument on a post where some 40 year old dude said he experienced "real racism"
Its weird how ppl will do anything to get around the law, and then when it goes wrong, they want to take it to court and have the same law defend them. Wow unbelievable!
I am so sick of people playing the race card and painting themselves as a victim for their own poor choices or when things don't go their way... And I'm even more sick of people staying silent, letting them get away with it and not calling it out.
I don't trust either of these litigants. They're both shady and avoid direct answers to the judge's interrogation. Any time a person starts off a response with a "reason," they think the answer won't help their case. But I don't think the plaintiff will prevail: He had the benefit of his bargain by living there, so he can't get his money back.
The utter nerve to try and get over someone who was doing you a huge favor in rent. What he wanted was to you use the situation to get money to move and rent again...
The plaintiff didn't pull the race card at the end, he was just admitting you can't succeed in America as a lying scammer when you end up in court... Lol
I swear some people are so delusional. In what world would you get all the rent you paid back. You lived there for 4 years and are still living there! Smh
Judge spelled out for him that even if she believed him he still wouldn't have a legal basis for collecting back rent. Then he says "this is a result of being who I am in America." 🙄
"It's a matter of who I am in America," the plaintiff says to Doug on the way out. Slipping a little "the judge is racist" comment in? Doug didn't pick up on that.
OMGAWD! Did he really try to pull the race card at the end!? Yes...yes he did. It's just part of who I am in America. And what may that be? A person who wants everything for free? Y'all need to reel this victim BS in... seriously.
OH -- The Plaintiff is from Harlem. That makes a huge difference. Nobody from Harlem has to pay anything. The government pays everything for them. #BIDENOMICS
Plaintiff play his race card "being who I am in America", really? I hate this, it makes me want to puke...... How can you build inclusive culture, when you want excuses for your exclusivness? SICK AND TIRED.
The plaintiff has to be stupid. Seriously he knew he couldn't "live" there yet continued to live there. Paid 250 a month, then has the nerve to sue for all his rent back over the years and complaining that it's illegal apartment but he is still there even after an eviction is filed! Wow. It's his own fault, he did it to himself, yet wants someone else to pay him. 🙄
Plaintiff: "Well I didn't really get a chance to prove my case...and just another one of the perils of being who I am in America." LOL geez this guy's. What he meant was the judge saw through me and saw saw exactly who I was...another American trying to get rich off the misfortune of others. And he also meant maybe if I keep talking I can convince her I didn't know despite all the evidence in my face that this place wasnt supposed to be rented or she'll fall for my charm or she'll side with me just so I'll shut up. Missing all these items but it's a deal is way more believable... vs I'm paying rent and my LL will eventually get to the plumbing but hey he gave me gym membership so that I can bath. JM very cleary explained you can't be a landlord and complain to get back rent for an illegal rental and you can't be an illegal renter and get all your money back whether you knew it or not. But this is America and people will on both sides try to any way😔🤷♀️🙄
Another eternal victim and racist from the community. Mentioned his accident, which is irrelevant to the case multiple times and then blames the ruling on the by e color of his skin. As I once heard a cop say, “it must be nice having a built in excuse for poor behavior”!
You cant live in an illegal apartment for many years and months then when you find out its illegal you demand all the rent you paid back because if that was possible that will be an incentive for tenants to actually go out and specifically look for illegal apartments to move into
The shocking part is that the plaintiff made it a whole 2 years in Los Angeles without getting into a car accident. He must be really lucky or drove about 100 miles a year.
Oh Mr. Seigel.. These people are always looking for free stuff. he got a little dig in at the end " It's who I am in America" . give me a break Mr. Turner..
Is it just me or does the plaintiff seem to have cognitive issues. I GENUINELY believe him when he didn’t understand or know.. he literally looks confused the entire time
Perils of being who I am in America? Seriously? Not going to get ahead in life with that mentality. 😂. Guarantee the plaintiff has more money than I do.
