Passing Bad Checks
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 12. 2023
- The plaintiff claims her landlord, the defendant, returned her security deposit, but the check bounced. The plaintiff found out her landlord put a stop payment on the check, so she’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff caused extensive damage to his property, and it took him more than $5,000 to get back to rentable shape.

I don't care which side does it but if you're caught in a lie you should lose automatically
Perjury is not in miss milian vocabulary
I agree. This Judge allows it every time even when it’s blatant.
@@sarahrean7174 😂😂😂
And when both sides lie, the judge keeps the money 🤣 🤣 🤣 ridiculous 🤦♂️
its automatic on judge Mathis hahahaha
That was no where near $5,000 worth of damage. What a slime ball landlord.
Thank you... I was looking for this comment cause I was thinking the same thing... lol lol
she is not always right in her judgments
@@eisbeinGermanywhat are you talking about she made her pay for what she agreed on and the damages she did she ended up getting most of her money back like it should be
Exactly 😅
@@eisbeinGermanyRight compared to your opinion?
He shouldn’t have been awarded anything back since you gave her back the security deposit he assume all the responsibility for the damages
One month of the security was used as rent. She agreed to the landscaping and shelving. She got back what she was entitled to.
I would have sued him for the fees related to his check bouncing as well as the stop payment.
He shouldn't give back security until he has a maintenance person sign off on the condition of the property. You just have to get the inspections completed in a timely manner [7-10 days].
I agree, the LL walked through the home THEN sent back her $$. She incurred fees because of what he did. As for the weeds, since he lied about the other pictures I’d want to see the date he took those because I’d bet it was after they grew back. $150 for spackle 🤦🏽♀️ that takes 1 minute to do & that includes getting the supplies out, that was a ridiculous call. He should’ve had to give her all her money plus the bank fees. I really like People’s Court but in my opinion this judgment was wrong.
Absolutely not...I'm a homeowner and I also rent out a second unit in my home. People who rent always assume that the property owner should just eat up the cost of the damages they cause to an apartment. It is absolutely wrong and hope at some point the Landlord and tenant laws change because tenants are completely unable to own up to their damages and think everything cost $1.00.
I use to be a renter before buying my multi unit home and I can tell you that I made sure to care for my apartment because I understood the cost, time and labor involved in re-renting an apartment. Tenants need to stop being such entitled idiots. If you were handed a fully renovated apartment, then have some integrity and dignity and return it back in its original state. It's called being honest and fair to others.
@@XFiorenttihe shouldn't have sent her the original cheque if he had damages. The judge could have considered that a meeting of the minds and forced him to uphold his original agreement.
Also, he lied to the judge -- showing her photos of the condition of the rental which were in fact taken the year before the plaintiff moved in. He was not being "honest and fair to others".
What about bounced check fees? Did she get any of that back?
The landlord is not only creepy and sketchy but also annoying as he11! Judge Judy would have shredded him into pieces.
Even at 11 you don't do that
Creepy?
Totally illegal to give a check that you intend to cancel.
The landlord is not an honest or good person. Absolutely not honorable.
The defendant shouldn't have been allowed to keep a PENNY!!!
he got to keep on what she agreed and signed she would take responsibility for and the little damage she did nothing wrong with that
its only because she agreed in the lease to take care of the landscaping . i would never sign a lease that includes that i must be responsible for the owner's landscaping . let them hire a gardener to do that like all the other owners do .
Even though the defendant was technically entitled to some money, I think he should have lost completely because he bold-faced lied and thought he could charm the judge. He was high-key annoyed that she wouldn't give him space to try and talk around getting caught in a blatant lie.
I feel like the best defense for the plaintiff would be. He wrote the check. If there was damage after he wrote the check then he shouldn’t have wrote the check
He probably just didn't have the money.
@@WarGrowlmon18 That would be illegal. Landlords are required by law to have the security deposit and can only use it for damages and missing rent. If he spent the security deposit before she moved out, then he broke the law
@@lone.faerie He doesn't exactly seem like the most honest guy to me
Totally agree. The landlord shouldn't haven't written the check til the damages were properly assessed and/or he was ready for it to be cashed.
as soon as the case began and it was announced that the landlord wrote bad checks i knew he was gonna lose . writing a bad check is very incriminating and it will always make the check writer automatically look guilty of wrongdoing .
Judge: "Do you have pictures of before they moved in?"
Defendant:"Yes in a folder called Before They Moved In."
😂😂😂😂😂that cracked me up so hard! Don't mind me yall I'm just silly like that!😂😂
i cant stop laughing
The landlord is grimy, and $4200 security deposit is crazy!!!!!!
It's first and last month. How is that crazy?
This was a fair judgement. One month of the security was used as rent. She agreed to the landscaping. Holes in the wall from shelving or pictures aren't normal wear and tear. She got back what she was entitled to.
With that said, I would have sued him for the fees related to his check bouncing as well as the stop payment. He shouldn't give back security until he has a maintenance person sign off on the condition of the property. When you do those inspections in a timely manner [within 7-10 days from move out] you can cut checks quickly.
Writing a check when you have no intent of honoring could be considered fraud.
Also, its best practice to do the walkthrough together.
After she realized she wasn’t lying about the tenants living for a year before her. Judge was like whatever you want ! I believe you have fair judgment 💯
Fair judgment. Although he should have been penalized for lying multiple time about his pictures.
The defendant is a scammers and a liar. Why he got anything back is confusing. His creditability was done when he tried to provide evidence that was not appropriate, trying to show the place was pristine. He wrote the check and then put a stop payment on it which is illegal. It was obvious that he was just trying to scam her out of money. Every honest landlord would have assessed the damage and let her know what he was holding money back for before writing a check.
The and lord shouldn't be able to keep a penny from the stopping payment on the check alone. He's also a shady liar who got caught lying about the conditions of the place. What a low life.
Landlord is a scoundrel
When the Plaintiffs first came in, I thought it was Sonny and Cher.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, it drives me nuts when JM asks a question and then doesn't let the litigant answer. She does the same thing in conversations with her dear husband. Listening is an art and a skill.
Exactly 💯
i get her trying to get straight to the point but its soo disrespectful.
She is the worst judge...
FACTS...!!!!
I love her anyway!
Scammer landlord probably milked the last family and now going for the second bite of the apple.
The landlord was double dipping, he probably kept deposit from the previous tenant for those damages and never bothered to fix them, now he is trying to get her deposit to pay for those damages again.
It annoys me that this landlord did this and still got him damages. LL should have to follow the law and if they don’t too bad
I can’t believe he was allowed to keep any money. Once he wrote the Check she should have received all the deposit back very unfair ruling.
He gave it back then changed his mind but still gets to keep some? Now she has to litigate what he already agreed. That’s messed up
he gets to keep for what she agreed on and for what she damaged 🤦
No because he sent the whole thing back at first
@@yung1717 doesn't matter she signed the lease ( a contract saying she will pay for landscaping )
@@dallas24s69it does because he’d already agreed to give it back. Once again I’m saying it’s unfair to reopen what was closed bc he’s slimey
@@yung1717 I don't even remember what was the case about anymore
The defendant should be ashamed of himself. First of all, he's a crook and too. He should be in jail because that woman had to pay all sorts of bank fees. And it messes up your banking when you pass a bad check that's ridiculous. And the plane of deserves every penny plus punitive damages.
Asians. That's all that has to be said
@@batmang9014no ur just racist and ignorant
She should have gotten double especially since he bounced and then canceled the check
Might as well have left it at $2000 with the bank fees. Should have been additional though since he sent the check without deductions.
Poor guy was just trying to get a word in…lol
He shouldn’t have got anything. He already gave her the check then stopped it sooo he should’ve lost that money. I believe the plaintiff especially after the picture situation!
She should get PUNITIVE damages for this!!!
What landlord don't do a walk through before a tenant moves out.🙄🤔
WHAT A SNEAKY LIL OLD MAN!!!! DISAPPOINTED IN HIM
I love the judgement! Landlord sucks 😂😂😂😂😂
You’re gonna have wear and tear on a floor unless everyone floats and levitates.
I felt it was going the Defendants way until he got caught in a lie!!!
I so wish the judge would have asked him if he returned the security deposit to the last tenants. I bet he kept their money for the floors already.
What a swing in a case. At first I thought the plantiff had it 100%, then I thought the defendant had it 100%, then back to the plaintiff!!
Wow!! What a deceitful landlord.
It's so annoying, the judge isn't letting the defendant answer.
The landlord is one I those slimy Asian landlords. I have never rented from one before but I have heard and seen many.
I’m Asian myself so 🤷🏻♀️
This is why I've been keeping all the receipts starting in 4/18, especially regarding my medical issues, which are numerous & call for medical negligence & even a few malpratice case's & this show solidifies that decision. 😊
NEVER RENT FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES FAR AWAY ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS NO "OFFICIAL" CARETAKER NEAR BY.
The Judge constantly ask a question then interrupts.
Just from listening to the beginning.. I already know how this is going to go down lol
i had a tenant move out and i did a walkthrough on the day of. We normally return deposits because tenants will leave lived in damage. like picture holes and stuff like that. The tenant left over 100 holes from trying to hang picture, destroyed the backyard (they were responsible for) and painted a room without returning it to the original color. , and damaged the hardwood. It was over 5k in damages and all we did was keep the $1,600.00 deposits.
I love finished hardwood floors…but they are such a hassle!!!
What the landlord did in this case was really grimy and underhanded when he wrote a check all the while knowing that he would stop payment. Citing not wanting to be confrontational or not that's some dirty shit the defendant did. It's good that the plaintiff won something at least..
Sounds like larceny, right? A 2-time convicted felon with larceny convictions has no room to talk and lecture others. Ghetto trash
He said he couldn’t rent right away after the other family…meaning there was damage!
Defendant blatantly lied! She should have got punitive!
I was pleasantly surprised when she asked him to hand over the phone to see the pictures - WOW! I wish everyone (landlord and renter) would protect themselves with pictures moving in & out
In Oklahoma if you write a bad check, the amount doubles when you pay back the check.
It is 3 times in California
I think even if there were damages, if you wrote the check, you are giving a pass on the damages. You don't get to change your mind.
Good call
He should not have got a quarter. He never sent her a letter after sending a bogus check. Then tried to mislead the judge on when the pictures were taken. At least she got the majority of it back. She should've sued also for double or triple but judge would've probably changed the rules on that too. She only enforce when they piss her off.
She should’ve gotten her full amount and all bounced check fees!
Give the lady her money!!!!! Happy and healthy new year🎉🎉 to all❤
The judge is too soft you lied you loose !
Perjury is ok under oath 🙄
What about the bounced cheque and stop payment fee???
The Plaintiffs look like Sunny and Cher if life had worked out a lot differently for them.
Sometimes i think landlords believe that tenants should glide or hover over floors😂.
I am the most pro landlord person on earth and even I think its deceitful to write a check for the security deposit then stop it later on cause you found damage
I’m glad judge Millian don’t discriminate, but I want her to be a little less aggressive with these elderly people.😂 she didn’t have to handle the defendant like that.
I moved into a rental and th efloors lookslike those pictures, SHINING AND ALL!!! I got to the hours and there was ano shine!!! She took photos with light shining in!!! I ook photos an dput newspaper on the floor as to how the floors really looked!!!
He actually thought he would take all her money .
Biggest pet peeve is when the Judge is talking and ppl try to talk over her smh
Give the lady her money
I pass bad gas but not bad checks. As if there's such a thing as passing good gas. 😂
Bad judgement. The defendant lied to the judge, and should have had to uphold his original agreement to return the deposit.
Sonny and Cher vibes! Congratulations!!
I got you babe!
Very funny!
True... total coke vibes.
So many landlords want to keep all of the security deposit to update there place and charge more rent!!
He not only had the wrong pictures he knew exactly he had the wrong pictures. He wanted to see if he could get away with a lie. This landlord did nothing but lie on the witness stand and I'm not even a judge and I knew that from the get-go. and Judge Milian has been a judge for how long? She doesn't know what she's talking about she needs to go back and get a refresher course and judge😅
she's probably not even a real judge, she's probably just an Lawyer, Small Claim Courts don't use real Judges.......
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE JUDGE MILIAN, WOMAN ♀️👠 POWER YOU GO GIRL YOU GOT IT GOING ON, VERY SMART 🤓🤓🤓 I LOVE YOU 😘😘😘
He tried to get over. I'm glad she asked for the phone
He should of got nothing back up there lying
You can tell by the guy smurk on his face the whole case, that he was on some sneaky bullshit 😂😂😂
No what's fair is 2000k he wrote the check for 2000 I want my 2000 and the NSF fee! I DO NOT agree with his judgment
I dont think a landlord should make tenants responsible for such extensive landscaping. That can get expensive
Good case❤
I have been a professional landlord in Chicago with 40 unites since ¹78.
This guy was a scam bag, but still, A lot of renters aren't worthy of living in my basement.
Once he lied he shouldn’t have gotten a dime..
Hey, it's discount knockoff Sonny and Cher!!!
lol !!
He wrote the check. Enough said.
The Defendant got busted. What a crook.
Another landlord scammer. No surprise.
That landlord is sketchy.
His check bounced. Then he stopped pay. He just didn't want to return the deposit.
Who said going forward, she would take pictures of all the damage, I say, take pictures of the whole thing when you move in, and the landlord too.
I wish the Judge would let the plaintiff and defendant finish answering her questions instead of cutting them off continuously
The defendant wasn’t confused. He knew those pics were from way b4 the plaintiff moved in. He lied the whole case if you ask me..
The landlord is a scammer.. Someone told him that he could rip them off, after he sent the check.
I hope that lady behind the defendant with the animal on her head made it out ok😬
He calls a contractor to do a walk through to assess the damage, OF COURSE h's going to find something, he gets paid to fix things
IMO, when the landlord writes the check, that's an acceptance of the condition of the property. You can't renege on that.
Dishonest landlord should have received nothing and should have had to pay the check fee!
Moving in. ..
Take pictures with landlord in them..
Dated pictures...
Same pictures with landlord when moving out
No way those floors were like that from them in one of the other photos you can see the stains from the dirt in the same gray color. Glad the judge pressed that issue because sometimes liars are winners in this world.
The defendant doesn't seem all the way there.
That's some highs priced rent...
Give my lady her money y’all trying to lie smh I’ll never rent for those type of people
This guy shouldn’t be anyone’s landlord
