these folks were lucky enough to get a rent to own agreement from their landlord which is pretty freaking rare these days & still decided to play games.
Squatting. And it should be a crime like it now is in Florida. Should not have to spend a year getting lowlife nonpayers out. Also, every court should require that in order for an eviction case to proceed, the non paying tenants should be required to put rent in escrow with the court or immediate eviction!
I don't believe a word she's saying. It's the second time they had to go to court to get their rent. She's coming up with any possible reason not to pay her rent. Shame
Rent is income for landlords. Tenants think they can pay at any time or withhold but immediately stop paying after seeing a tax bill? How does withholding rent so a landlord has a harder time paying the mortgage help the situation at all? She’s a liar, just wanting free housing.
Back in 1990 we were renting a house. Came home on Christmas Eve of all days to find a notice on the door that the house was being foreclosed on. Apparently they were taking our rent but not paying the mortgage. We kept paying rent anyway until the day we moved out 4 months later. Foreclosure or even the threat of it has nothing to do with the contract you sign to pay rent.
@@makeminetexas3494 even if it is a rent to own ? The landlord, in that case, holds back part of rent for down payment, so in this case lease is broken, goes back to a normal rent lease. These renters are plain wrong.
There should be a database for landlords to list past tenants on. They can put things on their records like this so the next landlord can see if they’re going to screw them over
YESSSSSSS!!!! Finally a judge that can see right thru these lying squatting tenants!! Her explanations were ridiculous as to why they hadn't paid in over a year!! She thought she could play the system but the judge saw right thru her lies. Love it!!!
Her position seems to be "we shouldn't owe court costs because we didn't choose to come to court, the landlord did". But what she fails to understand is that she chose to make it necessary for the landlord to take her to court by not paying her rent. That's the whole crux of the matter.
Thats why his lawyer asked for a deadline of 90 days or to be able to file a notice to quit. So even if she doesn’t pay he can get them evicted but they will never pay that on time so gives her time to destroy the home and owe more money that’s what will happen for sure

Yes. If you listened carefully, the taxes were being paid on time by the " landlord's" mortgage company, but it was the TAX ASSESSOR'S office that made the error by not recording the homestead exemption properly, causing *extra* taxes to be assessed and levied. That's why the "landlord" got a refund after he found out what happened.

She's financially illiterate. So much so that she can't understand that the benefit/value she has received (a roof over their head) has to be paid for. Her argument that IF the home WERE to be foreclosed on...thus potentially preventing them from becoming the owner...that they would prefer to disregard turning over legitimately owed unpaid sums so they could just run off with those funds to spend on a different place...is just a garbled way of saying they wanted to pocket a year's worth of free housing.

8:30 - Plaintiff's attorney was probably shittin' bricks at this point what with all the crap the judge was giving him about witnesses and such! Bet he was relieved when she finally turned her attention to the defendants! lol!
Honestly, plaintiff could easily have lost the case due to failure to appear. I completely understand judges being DONE with zoom hearings, considering the horrible behavior and technical difficulties people have over so many of these cases appearing on youtube. If you have an investment property in a different state, you need to accept that there are times your going to be required to travel for the sake of your investment. That's the investor's burden.
So she stops paying because she thought the house would be foreclosed on because of a 1 year delinquency in property taxes. She was already in judgement for failure to pay, and thinks she didn't have to pay because if the house was going to be foreclosed, then she would lose the house and her money. What dizzying logic. I get it, but it's absolutely ridiculous.
I don't even get that much! If the house was ever foreclosed on, the Defendants wouldn't be automatically thrown out. The new owner - whoever buys the house at a foreclosure sale - would then have to file an eviction action against the Defendants if the new owners want them out. So, not only is their "fear of foreclosure" not a cognizable legal defense, it has no real basis in reason. The Defendants are losing their home by not paying on their contract *much more quickly* than they would if the house were foreclosed on.
@@SamT987 Yeah. It was completely ridiculous logic. She didn't exactly disagree with the payment arears of more than $10k, but she had a problem with the court costs of $131 or so because she apparently felt violated in the dealing with the owner.
@@sharongasparaitis7135 Exactly. A case can be made if a landlord fails to make repairs on a property, but even that will be a hard sell in court if the tenant was already behind on payments.

Right!! My bf and I are in a tiny 725 sqft one bedroom apartment and pay around $1380-1440 a month. We pay the 30th or 31st every month, in full on time. No excuses
Over 20 yrs when I started out as a property paralegal we evicted you right away you had 30 days notice and you were gone. None of this squatters right BS. She should be ashamed of herself.
@DemonsSister I was thinking the same exact thing. I don't understand if the Plaintiff is out of state why they can't join by zoom. I don't know if the judge & the plaintiffs lawyer have had problems in the past but even so she shouldn't be taking it out on him during court that's unprofessional imo.
The appearance was said to be in-person. She isn't being nasty, she is enforcing her rules. If the witness and lawyer cared, they would have been there in person
She was so pissed off about the Zoom appearance then she lets him testify anyway. If you are going to let him testify by zoom then let him testify by zoom, we don't need the grandstanding just because it wasn't put in a motion.
Don’t want to pay the $650 per month, but want to live there? Make it make sense. 😂 She wants a free property, despite the owner still making mortgage payments to rocket mortgage. Must be nice to live for free, to squat in someone’s house, and act as if you’re the victim.
It would be a great idea for a website/app that’s a database for landlords to list tenants on. So it shows who skips out of rent, how long they rented for, if they destroyed the property, etc…it’d be super helpful for landlords to help weed out the bums and future squatters. It’d also make it a lot harder the scammer/squatters that just go from place to place doing the same shit, to get a place to live
This woman is the example of a bad bad tennant shamelessly deceiving the landlord . As for the landlord Article of Agreement / Land contract is a bad move for these kind of prospective buyers!
My tenants are on a week to week agreement. Miss three weeks and I start eviction. It takes missing three payment periods to evict in my state. I’m not waiting three months.
Agreed! Great video! And I applaud your showing of gratitude! People whine about the smallest things, forgetting how much work and effort it takes to upload these videos.
This happens ONLY because courts allow it to happen. Eviction should occur after 60 days of nonpayment. Period. Dont need backstories and reasons/excuses. Its plain and simple and done.
Landlord stated that taxes WERE paid out of Rocket Mortgage's Escrow account. He also was still paying his mortgage. If I understood it correctly the problem she's basing her defense on was that the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) was not properly filed or recorded on the property so they denied it for 2022 resulting in a tax delinquency notice of some kind. It takes a 3 year forfeiture and foreclosure process before the home is actually lost. The tax issue is a red herring. It was cleared up with the assessor's office and he got a REFUND! I know people who regularly pay their property taxes as much as a year or 2 late. They know the law and just pay the interest and late fees. That's why mortgage companies require escrow accounts: to make sure the taxes ARE paid.
Wow - that’s crazy entitled to think she can just live in someone else’s home for free. It was like she couldn’t even wrap her head around the fact that she had no right to live there.
She is a criminal, she has the nerve to keep saying it’s her house. Wow. She is the reason nobody sells on land contact anymore. Ban welfare and section 8 now. If you’re smart don’t ever be a private landlord. We are never going to get rid of these squatters until we get rid of welfare.
The judge was giving the attorney a hard time about the plaintiff not appearing in person, but based on what he was able to testify and stipulate to, it would have been a total waste of his time and money travel all the way there for the defendants’ BS.
This judge should of never let it get this far. People should have all their things thrown out. She keep saying her money, it's not her money dead beats.
Lol So she stop paying because she was fearful it would get foreclosed. “If I’m going lose my home then I’d rather have the money.”. Fair but that doesn’t mean you get to live rent free in the mean time. 😂
Judge is terrible, defendant may be called to testify by the plaintiff. Not allowing a virtual appearance? When he lives in Texas? We call that a "home field" move, where the judge treats a petitioner worse because they're from out of town. Seems courts bend over backwards to help out deadbeats. Haven't paid rent in a year and a quarter. This is why rent is so high but being a landlord still isn't profitable. We desperately need judicial reform.
On procedure, you are absolutely correct. Not only that, but right after she allowed an attorney to appear by Zoom. Make it make sense?? And she had a loud the person to appear by Zoom previously. I'm glad she finally allowed the plaintiff to testify, although he didn't have to since the defendant basically admitted everything.
@@ktkilntime1586 yeah I think she’s awful. I guess maybe he wasn’t interested in her or something - I am joking, but it definitely seems personal how nasty she is.
I currently have tennents in my mom’s house… they will go pay the court their rent, but won’t walk 150 feet to pay me their rent… yet won’t leave, and keep appealing their case… when they know they’re in the wrong…
Sad, defendants should face jail if they don't get a job and pay up. I worked 3 jobs= 60 hours a week, and I was older than these lazy losers. Both of them do that and you could pay this man his money easily in a couple months.
I used my tarot cards to predict that the paper work on the house I'm renting to own was wrong for tax purposes. Therefore, I stopped paying money 4 months before I received notice of taxes owed. LOL. These people know how the system works, and had to be sued 2 times before for payment. At least he has this judgment, he can go after their tax returns now. I'm sure they are low income with a big child tax credit. That is probably the only way he will get money from that trash.
Had to deal with this problem once upon a time working in real estate. Migrant single mother of three would always be late on her rent, then we’d have to take her to court, she’d cry and the judge would give an extension. This happened multiple times. Eventually the landlord sold the property. This also creates a scenario where landlords would need to be weary of putting single mothers in their properties, it’s terrible as they probably need it most but when the system is this broken most mom and pop landlords can’t afford the risk. I’m glad we had laws in Australia to protect tenants but this lady clearly couldn’t afford the rent.
Absolutely! GOOD tenants need all protection they can get from predatory landlords… BUT landlords need protection from predatory tenants like this!! And this is absolutely predatory. She probably hops from property to property doesn’t pay and just drags it into litigation and then disappears.
Nothing to do with single MOTHERS. Single parents please. And nothing to do with her being a Migrant either. This is just your prejudice showing that you think ALL migrants and ALL single parents don’t pay their rent. You are holding their whole demographic responsible for one person. Grow up.
Telling the judge that the reason I have not paid any money towards my rent to own due to unreasonable court costs in the previous judgements in already nonpayment of seven thousand already due is a pathetic excuse and the defendants hasn't made any escrow in their defense then back to court with the same excuses adding three thousand more in non-payment towards their responsibilities' over a year behind in rent to own property
Appearing virtually is a courtesy of the court, appearing in person is the norm. There's no reason he would need to appear virtually even if he's out of state.
The fsct thatv these two haven't paid rent in over a year will follow them via credit report. They've pretty much cooked the goose. What they are are doing is outrageous, sickening and shows such lack if character.
If you paid the rent he could pay the taxes, the taxes is not your freaking business 🤬🤬…..how the hell u going to buy something when u can’t pay your rent now it will show up that u was taken to court for rent🤔
He’s got something weird going on with the taxes though. He’s claiming the homestead exemption on it even though it’s not his primary home ostensibly due to the renters having a “land contract” which I’ve only seen with mobile homes. So because they are getting about a 50% discount on taxes because it’s in their name, the renters shroud have been paying the taxes on it directly. So while the taxes are most certainly their business, not paying the rent is theft. Any landlord that does a “rent to own” is counting on late payments so they can keep all the money someone already paid. While most people think you can just chalk it up to rent, these agreements generally come with a large deposit; much larger than first/last/damage and are non refundable. Since people who go for these type of deals aren’t great about making payments on time, the deposit is forfeited and an eviction is filed. Rinse and repeat to new renters. Exactly like “buy here pay here” car lots operate. it’s a relatively easy way for a landlord to make more money than they would on just rent but this guy waited wayyyyy too long to evict them. In most states you can start proceedings the day after rent is due. Evidently whatever state he’s in makes you wait a lot longer. You take a risk renting to these types with bad credit hoping to collect more than normal rent and he just made a bad bet this time so I don’t really feel sorry for him. It’s the cost of doing business like tho.
I'm not paying for the time I lived in the house because I need that money for a new home. Her thinking is messed up! She thinks she should live there for free🤦♀️😬🤷🏻♀️
The tax bill comes but you have usually months later to pay it..mine comes the 1st week of January and dont have to pay till November...So most landlords use rent to pay the taxes least the landlords i know do...
Wasn't able to see the judge as your logo blocked her appearance in the lower right corner. Maybe you can reduce size or relocate the logo? Thx you for sharing this with us.
When a tenant withholds rent they are meant to hold it in escrow to be paid after adjudication/resolution of the supposed issue. It sounds like this person stopped paying (couldn’t pay?) and spent money meant to pay in the meantime instead of holding it, knowing that they might end up owing everything they withheld.
Are you kidding?? The plaintiff's lawyer is arguing a dispute of court costs of $137 when the defendants have $10,000 outstanding that they prepared to pay? How much is plaintiff paying this lawyer who the judge ran circles around? I think someone's ego is getting in the way.

The woman has been in court 3 TIMES for not paying. She deserves her paychecks garnished for the $10,000 + Court Costs.

I don't know if the judge & the plaintiffs lawyer have had problems in the past but even so she shouldn't be taking it out on him during court that's unprofessional imo.
The appearance was said to be in-person. She isn't being nasty, she is enforcing her rules. If the witness and lawyer cared, they would have been there in person
She was so pissed off about the Zoom appearance then she lets him testify anyway. If you are going to let him testify by zoom then let him testify by zoom, we don't need the grandstanding just because it wasn't put in a motion.
LOL she hasn’t paid rent but wants the home in her name.
The math ain’t mathin
Since they haven’t paid for over a year they should have plenty money saved up for rent on a new place.
I guess they could make a baby to increase the government check.
She thought she was slick but this judge was having none of it!
I love this Judge. That Defendant was making my head hurt with her "reasons" for not paying yet living in the house for free for over a year.
The defendant must have gotten her law degree from google. She just stopped paying. And yet, she thinks Rocket mortgage is give her a loan?
Don’t want to pay the $650 per month, but want to live there? Make it make sense. 😂 She wants a free property, despite the owner still making mortgage payments to rocket mortgage. Must be nice to live for free, to squat in someone’s house, and act as if you’re the victim.
None of their business how and when he pays his taxes if their names are not on the deed.
They may have gotten a tip from someone at the law library 😢
It would be a great idea for a website/app that’s a database for landlords to list tenants on. So it shows who skips out of rent, how long they rented for, if they destroyed the property, etc…it’d be super helpful for landlords to help weed out the bums and future squatters. It’d also make it a lot harder the scammer/squatters that just go from place to place doing the same shit, to get a place to live
This woman is the example of a bad bad tennant shamelessly deceiving the landlord . As for the landlord Article of Agreement / Land contract is a bad move for these kind of prospective buyers!
Scam bags looking to rip off anyone anyhow
My tenants are on a week to week agreement. Miss three weeks and I start eviction. It takes missing three payment periods to evict in my state. I’m not waiting three months.
Smart.
I really appreciate you identifying “chapters” in the video description.
Agreed! Great video! And I applaud your showing of gratitude! People whine about the smallest things, forgetting how much work and effort it takes to upload these videos.
This happens ONLY because courts allow it to happen. Eviction should occur after 60 days of nonpayment. Period. Dont need backstories and reasons/excuses. Its plain and simple and done.
The taxes aren’t paid cuz you haven’t paid rent in a year!! These people are absolutely delusional, I can’t stand leeches like this 🫤
Landlord stated that taxes WERE paid out of Rocket Mortgage's Escrow account. He also was still paying his mortgage. If I understood it correctly the problem she's basing her defense on was that the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) was not properly filed or recorded on the property so they denied it for 2022 resulting in a tax delinquency notice of some kind. It takes a 3 year forfeiture and foreclosure process before the home is actually lost. The tax issue is a red herring. It was cleared up with the assessor's office and he got a REFUND! I know people who regularly pay their property taxes as much as a year or 2 late. They know the law and just pay the interest and late fees. That's why mortgage companies require escrow accounts: to make sure the taxes ARE paid.
@@jml2048thank you for explaining.
With how expensive rent is getting, this woman only had to pay $682 and still refuses to pay rent?
Makes you wonder what they've been spending that money on for the last year...
Crab legs and clothes
Bet they are in the bars all of the time.
@@Misstonyah 😂😂😂
Do you think they actually work and are not living on welfare?
Drugs, casino, liquor....
Wow - that’s crazy entitled to think she can just live in someone else’s home for free. It was like she couldn’t even wrap her head around the fact that she had no right to live there.
She is a criminal, she has the nerve to keep saying it’s her house. Wow. She is the reason nobody sells on land contact anymore. Ban welfare and section 8 now. If you’re smart don’t ever be a private landlord. We are never going to get rid of these squatters until we get rid of welfare.
What court is this? I love a no nonsense judge!!!
Lansing Michigan. This judge seems to have had it with all the squatters in Michigan.
@kevintate768 I wasn't sure you were going to respond, and I was bummed bc I wanted to check out more of her stuff, so... THANK YOU!
The defendant attempt to launch her rocket at rocket mortgage never got off the ground.
Hi had times I could have bough a rental, but always thought about the headaches that come with renting out a house.
The judge was giving the attorney a hard time about the plaintiff not appearing in person, but based on what he was able to testify and stipulate to, it would have been a total waste of his time and money travel all the way there for the defendants’ BS.
His home potentially going into foreclosure, when you are already late on your rent is NONE of your business!
This judge should of never let it get this far. People should have all their things thrown out. She keep saying her money, it's not her money dead beats.
Should of? Or should have?
Lol So she stop paying because she was fearful it would get foreclosed. “If I’m going lose my home then I’d rather have the money.”. Fair but that doesn’t mean you get to live rent free in the mean time. 😂
Actually, not "fair" . The money she saved by not paying her payments should have been placed in an escrow account, not her personal savings account.
She stopped paying months before foreclosure notice
Judge is terrible, defendant may be called to testify by the plaintiff. Not allowing a virtual appearance? When he lives in Texas? We call that a "home field" move, where the judge treats a petitioner worse because they're from out of town. Seems courts bend over backwards to help out deadbeats. Haven't paid rent in a year and a quarter. This is why rent is so high but being a landlord still isn't profitable. We desperately need judicial reform.
On procedure, you are absolutely correct. Not only that, but right after she allowed an attorney to appear by Zoom. Make it make sense?? And she had a loud the person to appear by Zoom previously. I'm glad she finally allowed the plaintiff to testify, although he didn't have to since the defendant basically admitted everything.
@@ktkilntime1586 yeah I think she’s awful. I guess maybe he wasn’t interested in her or something - I am joking, but it definitely seems personal how nasty she is.
Plaintiffs lawyer dropped the ball. He should have requested video testimony not assumed it was ok.
Because 🏀 Judge's homies and fatherless family members are probably squatting too.
I currently have tennents in my mom’s house… they will go pay the court their rent, but won’t walk 150 feet to pay me their rent… yet won’t leave, and keep appealing their case… when they know they’re in the wrong…
Even though he finally got her out he is still out over ten thousand dollars.
Look this person is awful for owing this much but this attorney is a mess.
I either need money or a home. Lol. Wut
This is crazy. In South Africa, many home owners are now using an eviction team to evict squatters because courts are too slow or lenient.
Classic example of why people in the UK no longer want to be landlords.
I sold my property after a year because it was going to cost me a pretty penny to fix it up, and I didn't want to deal with that
Does anybody out there believe that Mr. Meyer is going to ever get the $10,000 he is owed?
Sad, defendants should face jail if they don't get a job and pay up. I worked 3 jobs= 60 hours a week, and I was older than these lazy losers. Both of them do that and you could pay this man his money easily in a couple months.
No.
I used my tarot cards to predict that the paper work on the house I'm renting to own was wrong for tax purposes. Therefore, I stopped paying money 4 months before I received notice of taxes owed. LOL. These people know how the system works, and had to be sued 2 times before for payment. At least he has this judgment, he can go after their tax returns now. I'm sure they are low income with a big child tax credit. That is probably the only way he will get money from that trash.
😂
In other words: Shut up and pay your rent.
Had to deal with this problem once upon a time working in real estate.
Migrant single mother of three would always be late on her rent, then we’d have to take her to court, she’d cry and the judge would give an extension.
This happened multiple times.
Eventually the landlord sold the property.
This also creates a scenario where landlords would need to be weary of putting single mothers in their properties, it’s terrible as they probably need it most but when the system is this broken most mom and pop landlords can’t afford the risk.
I’m glad we had laws in Australia to protect tenants but this lady clearly couldn’t afford the rent.
Absolutely! GOOD tenants need all protection they can get from predatory landlords… BUT landlords need protection from predatory tenants like this!! And this is absolutely predatory. She probably hops from property to property doesn’t pay and just drags it into litigation and then disappears.
And she was paying less than $700/month, which is unbelievably cheap.
In the US, single moms don't 'need it most', not when people with kids have shelters and charities *specifically for them*.
Nothing to do with single MOTHERS. Single parents please. And nothing to do with her being a Migrant either. This is just your prejudice showing that you think ALL migrants and ALL single parents don’t pay their rent. You are holding their whole demographic responsible for one person. Grow up.
I was a sole parent and NEVER missed a rent payment. NZer here. Oh and it is wary not weary. Wary means careful and weary means tired. Just saying.
These squatters will find another home to occupy and run this scheme again. They have no morals or self respect.
Or jobs, but lots of government checks.
Telling the judge that the reason I have not paid any money towards my rent to own due to unreasonable court costs in the previous judgements in already nonpayment of seven thousand already due is a pathetic excuse and the defendants hasn't made any escrow in their defense then back to court with the same excuses adding three thousand more in non-payment towards their responsibilities' over a year behind in rent to own property
This judge is great at cutting through the BS
He might as well file the notice to evict while they are there.
The insistent circular talk would have made me crazy too! That judge had enough of it!
She is living in the property, she has to pay rent. The end. There is no reason for her not to.
Shit….guy won against the Tax assessor, rarer than this tenant paying rent……
😂
Great Judge! Glad she saw through this woman.
Why would the judge be a stickler about appearing virtually? That seems like a jerk move to me.
Appearing virtually is a courtesy of the court, appearing in person is the norm.
There's no reason he would need to appear virtually even if he's out of state.
This lady needs to understand how property taxes are paid thru escrow 😮
The fsct thatv these two haven't paid rent in over a year will follow them via credit report. They've pretty much cooked the goose.
What they are are doing is outrageous, sickening and shows such lack if character.
They will change their identity.
Can't keep her stories straight. If you don't lie you don't need to have a good memory! Judge Judy 🤪
If you paid the rent he could pay the taxes, the taxes is not your freaking business 🤬🤬…..how the hell u going to buy something when u can’t pay your rent now it will show up that u was taken to court for rent🤔
He’s got something weird going on with the taxes though. He’s claiming the homestead exemption on it even though it’s not his primary home ostensibly due to the renters having a “land contract” which I’ve only seen with mobile homes. So because they are getting about a 50% discount on taxes because it’s in their name, the renters shroud have been paying the taxes on it directly. So while the taxes are most certainly their business, not paying the rent is theft.
Any landlord that does a “rent to own” is counting on late payments so they can keep all the money someone already paid. While most people think you can just chalk it up to rent, these agreements generally come with a large deposit; much larger than first/last/damage and are non refundable. Since people who go for these type of deals aren’t great about making payments on time, the deposit is forfeited and an eviction is filed. Rinse and repeat to new renters. Exactly like “buy here pay here” car lots operate. it’s a relatively easy way for a landlord to make more money than they would on just rent but this guy waited wayyyyy too long to evict them. In most states you can start proceedings the day after rent is due. Evidently whatever state he’s in makes you wait a lot longer. You take a risk renting to these types with bad credit hoping to collect more than normal rent and he just made a bad bet this time so I don’t really feel sorry for him. It’s the cost of doing business like tho.
LOL, if your house that you're renting to me is going to be *foreclosed* then I'm pretty sure it is at least *partially* my business.
@@EBeverly-gv4ln I don't feel bad at all. If he's practicing that kind of scam, he deserves whatever bad luck he has coming to him.
I'm not paying for the time I lived in the house because I need that money for a new home. Her thinking is messed up! She thinks she should live there for free🤦♀️😬🤷🏻♀️
Love this Judge, no nonsense and can see through the bullshit. We need more of these Judges.
I would kill for a 700$ house payment and a nice man to buy from..geeeez this woman is a BUM
She thought the judge was stupid. Sometimes things backfire.
The tax bill comes but you have usually months later to pay it..mine comes the 1st week of January and dont have to pay till November...So most landlords use rent to pay the taxes least the landlords i know do...
Where I live, you have months to pay but you get a discount if you pay before a specified date.
Wasn't able to see the judge as your logo blocked her appearance in the lower right corner. Maybe you can reduce size or relocate the logo? Thx you for sharing this with us.
An alternative would have been to change the resolution of this video to make it "letterboxed", so the logo would be in the black space below it.
Love this judge and her no nonsense attitude! Such BS..."If I'm not going to have a home, then i need money to get a home." The irony! 😂
When a tenant withholds rent they are meant to hold it in escrow to be paid after adjudication/resolution of the supposed issue. It sounds like this person stopped paying (couldn’t pay?) and spent money meant to pay in the meantime instead of holding it, knowing that they might end up owing everything they withheld.
Exactly. Also my understanding is the parties both have to agree to escrow. You can’t just do it on your own.
There's always a way for tenants to get money. They just choose to spend it on something else.
This dude needs to cut his losses over the court costs. Go for the back rent!
The delusion and entitlement.. 😖😖
The judge is CLEARLY MISSING THE POINT: this woman is a time traveller!
We were here a year ago. Judge, "I remember." Notttttt a good sign.
Defendant saying “moving forward” is killing me! Let’s just skip by the part where I f’ed around.
Amazing not paying rent for over a year. BUMS
Are you kidding?? The plaintiff's lawyer is arguing a dispute of court costs of $137 when the defendants have $10,000 outstanding that they prepared to pay? How much is plaintiff paying this lawyer who the judge ran circles around? I think someone's ego is getting in the way.
