People who don’t pay rent or who drive without insurance should not go on Judge Judy. It’s pretty much a guaranteed loss.
Right it’s like they don’t check the judges background before applying 😂
The show picks these cases for that reason. It’s a TV show so JJ can yell at these types who don’t have insurance or pay rent.
And if you're from a puppy mill, own a pit bull and let it around children, or if you're a mom who keeps the dad from the kids....find another judge!
scammers
Right??!!! Like the defendant I could understand because they don’t have to pay anyway but if you are a plaintiff who is actually seeking the money, wouldn’t you want to do some research and know that judge Judy is going to obliterate you if you don’t pay rent??!!
The plaintiffs walked in as if they were in a Charmed (1998) reboot.
Especially the really tall big girl. She was trying to find all the cameras, so she can show her good angle.
I think hocus focus witches hahahah
😂😂😂best comment 🤣🤣
LOL
and the defendant looking like a disney villain 🤣
I'm sure Judge Judy will award the plaintiffs the full $5k. Also, I believe the moon is made of cheese.
we need new laws that turn squatters into felony charges or at least major misdemeanors ( criminal trespassing ) with jail time and fines. Then we would see a dramatic decrease in these.
definitely!
Never gonna happen
Bring back stoning 😆
@Lenasevilla-yb4ei Unfortunately you're right. The dirty secret is its cheaper for the state to keep the pieces of sh!t with the often times struggling landlord. Yes, struggling. Most are private folks with regular jobs not faceless corporations.
No. In fact we need to take control of those properties and convert to affordable housing for the homeless . So many wealthy people own multiple properties that they don't care of.
BYRD CAN YOU TELL THESE SQUATTERS GOODBYE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Somehow I have a feeling that JJ will not like the idea of a squatter lmao 😅
-xD !-
I don't neither they shouldn't have more rights than a home owner
Free handout then suing in general 😂
Hahaha 😂 I can already hear her voice ‘then move out’ when they give their reasons why they are not paying rent.
@@autumnnz1😂😂😂
It's like a coven walked into Judge Judy's court, lol.
Covens are awesome.
😂😂 that's perfect.
Goddamn... If I was given an option to move out in 60 days, with last month free, doubled deposit payback and no obligation for cleaning/repairing, I would consider myself super lucky :D
Right?!!!!
I dont understand why squatters aren't automatically arrested for trespassing?!
Because then they would become the city’s problem
Squatters for decades. Before covid...it was a sin.
I don’t get the whole “squatting” thing. How can they legally do it baffles me. Always has.
Technically you legally can't be a squatter and that's why people eventually get evicted and are supposed to pay back the landlord. However the reason people get away with it is because police don't know if a person is legally squatting or not until there is trial and a judge makes a judgment that you are a squatter or not but those can take weeks, months and even years! Until a judge decides if a person is really squatting or not the person is essentially given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to stay. Because if they're not squatting and where really a tenant before then they have rights too or the landlord may actually owe them some money. The reason it seems like squatters have more rights than the owner is because the squatter is dishonest and taking advantage of a impartial system and abusing it unfairly.
@@Naturefan354a Little bit late response, but I like your explanation. But if I own a house… and someone is living in there with out my permission… why can’t I remove them? Isn’t that trespassing? Why would a judge need to make up a decision if it’s my house. Or is that just the loophole?
@NoNam3_xLeaderX That's the loophole.! Because ALL squatters have the same thing in common. A system that protects them equally and unbiased until a judge figures out that they actually are or aren't legally entitled to be living there or not. The reason its not trespassing is because ALL squatters usually will present a lease and or utilities in their name to a police officer and how is the police officer to know if its legitimate or not? That's why its not so simple to get rid of a squatter, especially if they know what they are doing and had the intention of being a squatter the moment they set foot on a property.
I had to do a double take, I thought defendant wasn't wearing shoes at first 😂
Me too😂😂
I thought the same, I also thought he'd have a bit more base in his voice but instead he sounds like a 12 year old.
As a woman who used to get made fun of as a kid by grown-ass adults for having a lower voice than my other female peers bc I started puberty kinda early, I literally do not care what this guy's voice sounds like 😂
@@yelhsasokolova8561as someone who’s voice is higher than the average male, I can definitely relate to insecurities with voice pitch
@djanime317 I feel like my voice still sounds pretty deep, definitely still insecure about it 😅 At least we are not alone
It's beyond mind boggling how todays laws benefit squatters basically. There should be severe punishufor squatters.
Democrat voters.
@@podsmpsg1L comment shows u know nothing, the laws they are using are pretty much from the beginning of the American country when the British came over with the homestead act back in the 1800s, some states have changed laws that require someone to live inna house for 20 years but it has nothing to do with democrats or Republicans 😂
It’s really sad how Fox News and republicans can control the minds if they’re voters. This guy has no idea where any squatter law came from yet will claim it’s all the democrats fault. This is what happens when you’re uneducated and easily influenced.
Thanks to Democrats when Covid hit.

He had let them know that the house had been sold and that they had some time move out, 30 to 60 days. And they decided to squat instead.
Shufflin in court like the 3 Witches from Macbeth 😂
It's too early to tell, but they don't have a case. I read the text message (after I paused the video), and what the defendant wrote was more than reasonable/ fair. He said he could give them 30 or 60 days notice. If they chose the 60-day notice, they wouldn't be charged for the 2nd month's rent, they would get their full deposit back doubled, but he would have to go in to get the refrigerator, washer/ dryer. and take down both fences. I think they took advantage of the defendant's kindness, given that they stayed past the 60-day notice without paying.
I’m not sure but I think in some states you have to give a 60 day notice if the tenant isn’t month to month. I and some of my neighbors had to move when our condos we renter were sold. One of my neighbors told me the management company tried to pressure him to move in 30 days and he refused because his lease wasn’t up and under his rights they had to give him 60 days.
In CO. evict can be a little as 3 day, 10 day notice with no lease. The lease tells you .
@@lindaleelaw5277 That's the problem with people who choose to rent an apartment/ room. You'd be surprised how many people don't read the fine print. They're just concerned with, "I need a place to live, so I'll just sign the lease." Before you do, READ the FINE PRINT.
It's crazy how people don't look into the important information before renting. I would want to know who owns the house in case anything goes wrong.
they were informed they were subletting and he from day 1 never withheld that information, they could have chose not to rent, but roommates are a common situation in many places and many times 1 person is the lease holder.
I rented a condo through a management company. I had no idea who owned it and likely the owner had no idea who I was either.
@@anndeecosita3586see personally I know my management company and who owns the house. I wanted all the information ahead of time because people keep getting scammed out of money.
@@user-st1hy6ql3jyes, but it is smarter to know that information for legal purposes. Imagine claiming an illegal lockout of a place no one except the renter knew you were in.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the phrase, "he can't kick us all out", was used by these women, at the apartment.
The defendant looks like an evil magician
😂😂😂
I can't unsee it now😂
Vector from Despicable Me.

OMG! JJ started with the plaintiffs first 😈
I'm trying to work out what they're suing for? 🤔
Looks like they just went on there to embarrass themselves, forever remember as the 3 idiot Karens.
It feels almost like a waste of time for them to sue! This is a situation you can Google and understand your rights (or lack thereof) as a sublet tenant!
I was not expecting that voice from him I’m shook 🤣
'Who cares' 🤣😂😅 Yup! Part 2 will be just as good 🤣😂😅
Winona Ryder by Wish crazy lol
I have to believe that sometimes Judy wanted them to come on her show because I can’t believe the plaintiffs thought they had a case
Accountability is like Kryptonite to women. They actually think they're entitled to something here.
😂😂😂😅 as a woman I don’t agree but I love the statement 😮
@@zuritribe4844 maybe you're an exception to the rule. But look around... the overwhelming majority of women a very much incapable of taking accountability for their actions and society rarely forces them too. JJ is one of the few who does 😂
i saw the second part and was like dang that comment was sooo right @@sawyer4981
@@zuritribe4844nah, definitely applies to a lot of women
I've been waiting for this case for such a long time ever since I saw clips of it on a compilation video where she was obliterating the three girls! So glad it's here!
They really walked in like they were the Charmed sisters 🤭🤭
Just so glad the thumbnail and title actually depicted the case. 😂😂
"The total rent for the house, we later found out, was $1690." So, your admitting, he's smarter than you.
I can't believe how that defendant looks. Unkempt 😮
Squatters piss me off. The entitlement is insane!!
I am still waiting for yesterday wrong video about a car. 😂
Wait! That guy showed up to court barefoot!!
I wasn't expecting his voice?! 😂
I thought the Mr. Garcia came in barefoot 😂
But the defendant signed a new sublease agreement beyond his lease period. He doesn’t have clean hands.
but the girls have such dirty hands, that JJ was willing to overlook that fact.
Just seeing these people as they all walked into the courtroom I grabbed the popcorn
They shouldn't have had people who weren't on the lease living there. If they didn't pay rent for several months, then he doesn't owe them their security deposit back.
Weekend lunch crew are we here!!? 😅 no lunch for me 😂 happy Saturday 🎉❤
There is a false sense of entitlement to not pay rent and squat in the property.
Even homeowners wouldn't enter enter a lease agreement that "guaranteed" the house to a tenant for any length of time. They would then be liable to the tenant if it ever became necessary to evict.
0:01 They look like those 3 pigeons from Animaniacs.
🤣 they absolutely did
Im sorry but when Matthew spoke my jaw dropped a bit lol
I wasnt expecting that voice to come out that high
I get annoyed when people don’t hand the papers to Byrd.
I don’t know why, but it bothers me lol
Why is the defendant barefoot? 🧐
The law loves protecting squatters 🤮
When the defendant came in to court barefoot I thought he was for sure the squatter.
His bed head was so hard to not ignore
Geez, squatting tenants who didn't even pay rent.
The defendant has no shoes on - he came into Judge Judy’s barefoot
This is gonna be good 😂
Is what it is, the guy doesn't own the house, owner should have put a no subletting clause into the contract.
How did i know they were suing for harassment before it was announced, among other things lol
ppl dont pay rent then try to sue hahahaa
0:54 When he started speaking...
I think the plaintiff's are out of luck
Judge Judy decides beforehand how she want the case to resolve and only permits testimony that supports her "resolution." It makes for good television but would be laughed out of any legitimate U.S. court.
The defendant couldn’t even comb his hair for court🤔lol
I am here to learn haha 👀
His voice shook me lmao he sounded like the 4th lady
Lol. That turned on them quick
Look everyone here we have The Sanderson Sisters: Winifred, Sarah, and Mary just in time for this year’s Halloween! 🎃 😂
JJ: 🧑⚖️ 🪄 Hocus Pocus, U have no case! ✌🏻Goodbye
Thank you JJ GODS 🤭
So annoying how squatters think they are the ones that are being screwed and are owed something.
My favorite person in the world judge judy from Lebanese 🌹🇱🇧👍
I hate when people presume that they are supposed to pay for the mortgage. No. You pay for the privilege of living here.
Was he barefoot?
I didn’t expect him to sound like that.
They should've left this alone.
3:14 They paid him 2400 and they got angry when they found out the total for the house was under 1700.
That is when they decided to become squatters 😂
Love his eyebrows
The defendant looks like the character Bruno in Encanto
I agree 👍🏾
Give that guy a comb.
All 3 got nailed!!!!. Yikes
3:06 I wonder if they felt like they'd been overcharged and decided to try and get some payback
They all look like winners.
The defendant couldn’t even comb his hair for court. 😭
his hair looks fine, are you one of the plaintiffs that lost, because the man barely had to say a word and won.
@@user-st1hy6ql3j 😂
Something tells me the defendant squats too. Squats to pee.
The Lee Sisters, Ug Lee, Home Lee and Beast Lee.
At least he wore his nice capris
I thought that man was barefoot
It’s crazy to me how squatters are protected under the law for the most part and you need to jump through hoops to get them out of a place that is literally not there. I am also not sure why people make things up in their own head like saying “guaranteed the house” until a certain date when you knew he didn’t own it and that the owner can sell the house whether you like it or not because your opinion on the matter doesn’t actually matter.
Jesus look at this motley crew. What is this "The Craft" Judge Judy edition?😅
If you don't pay rent, don't look for anything from J.Judy...😮
What an interesting cross section of humanity...
I must be confused. On September 18th, he sent the text, which days that "starting on the 1st", which would mean October 1st, they would have either 30 or 60 days. If they choose to leave in 60, they would owe no rent for that month. It's in black and white if you pause the video. "...starting on the 1st, we'll have two options to move. We can choose 30 days or 60. If we do 60 that's free / no rent for the 2nd month." He's clear as can be. They all moved out on Nov 30th, which would be their last day to move out, not after! Why are people calling them squatters if they did what he told them to and no longer? Why is JJ saying they stayed longer than 60 days, and why are they agreeing with her? I'm really missing something here. His text is very clear....
You looking too deep into it
I’m with you on this too. It’s clear the text was mid September, and the “first month” is October, the “second month” is November. Why did he return their October rent? Was it bc he was no longer the person to receive rent, and it was supposed to be the new homeowner? I wish we had the season and episode number!
@@TheAmericanfisher77 I think the dates are off by a month somewhere. He was informed the house was sold to someone else in August, despite the 9/18 text saying he just learned over the weekend (or he maybe learned the new home owner actually now wants them out). September 1st as the first day of the 30/60 day eviction period would make sense in that case, especially considering the defendant apparently moved out mid-September. In Part 2, the plaintiffs' also presented an agreement with the new home owner dated October 18th that very nicely said 'you need to leave the the house before December 1st or we're pursuing further legal action'. There might have been a miscommunication along the way but basically, the plaintiffs tried to play ignorant and pretend the agreement with new land owner was some kind of free rent mini lease instead of a hint to gtfo right away, and left the defendant to foot the bill. Probably paid October's rent himself to stay out of trouble with his own landlord, pocketed the security deposit to offset costs, and denied the rent checks to make it explicitly clear they're not renting anymore.
Basically, they may not have been squatters before but they certainly acted like squatters for November and parts of October.
So do stand your ground laws not apply to squatters?!?!?
Hideousness of humanity
here we go again....
The defendant looks like someoone from a Velazquez painting
I don't understand the reason for going past 60 days. On the other hand, middle of th emonth is kind of unusual, plus would that not have been last month's rent (prepaid)? Anyway, we shall see.
Girl in red behind the defendent is so cute
Holding out for cash for keys will enrage the master she knows from which she does
You are a glutton for punishment if you choose to stoke her fire even more than is expected
That’s not the voice I expected from him lol
Someone helped Mr Garcia to comb his hair he forgot.
I didnt watch yet but ya
why did that one girl pay so much more in rent
