A Premature Departure

- The plaintiffs, three friends, lived with the defendant. They claim the defendant’s girlfriend didn’t like the fact that he lived with three women, so he moved out early. They’re suing for rent he owes. The defendant says he used to be friends with the plaintiffs, but everything changed when he moved in. He argues he paid part of their rent for several months. He’s countersuing for a security deposit.

Judge Judy would have thrown this case out and say that “he paid enough and more than his share”! He did and this should have been thrown out!
That’s not how the law works. If he obligated himself to the lease, he has to pay it.
They are garbage for suing him- but that’s how contracts work.
@@benjaminberman6200it does in small claims, it’s the judges discretion
I believe him!! I think the judge sometimes misses the mark and she is a tad bit hostile to people who don’t fit the presentation she expects
It’s not that the Judge didn’t believe him. It’s that he didn’t have any defense. He promised to pay and just hadn’t. He could have filed a countersuit for damaged furniture, window, etc., but he didn’t. Legally, this was a clear and easy case.
Nah they got over on JM this is why JJ doesn't accept (home-aid typed letters signed by the Pope) Where was the new or amended lease agreement with current roomate period. Or even an Itemized list of damages to clean/paint 1 room is NOT for the full portion of his deposit. She stated she recvd a deposit in August. The other person was already occupying his space. Landlord can't accept deposit from the new tenant & also just inadvertently keep the defendants entire portion without informing him of charges for any damages/fees. BS 💩 Dirty hamsters ran some slick game on the Judge.
@@cindywilliams8188 And that’s why the Judge said he needed to go after the landlord for his deposit. Not his former roommates. He paid the landlord. The landlord owes it back. As far as a new tenant already being in there, the girls had the new lease. The Judge typically reviews the evidence before the cases. But regardless, he said he was going to pay. He didn’t. So now the burden of proof is on him to prove someone else was occupying and paying rent. He wasn’t even arguing that much less providing evidence. I agree he probably had a bad deal paying all that rent compared to them, and it sounded like they were difficult to live with. However, legally-with the evidence he presented, he had zero defense!
@@juliecranford534 Once again key piece of evidence. Plz Dont be S.O.S. stuck on stupid "Lease" wasn't presented as evidence so just don't assume JM reviewed the documents & it wasn't aired 🤡 If judge didn't talk over ppl scam mate was abt tell when new tenant arrived. Lease would already shown the exact date. Plain and simple old lease w/ charge off for defendants fee's or damages & new lease or addendum for current roomate. No Gray area just str8 facts in black & white on the lease contract which would spell it out clearly.

You act like you're maybe one of the gutter bucket 🪣 plaintiff's.
🤣😂
Oh she most DEFINITELY is I always say that about her! She’s very biased. With certain litigants it’s like she goes out of her way to ensure they don’t get money they’re suing for or she will get them the bare minimum! Unless they’re well spoken, confident and very professional looking in her eyes, you will always lose your case. She’s something else! SMH
I feel bad for him because I genuinely do believe that they made the living situation really bad for him and ruined some of his furniture, but unfortunately I think the guy is just nice and agreed to pay to prevent conflict
I felt sorry for the defendant as well but that's the deal he made and has to honor it. He's got to be smarter next time.
@@hottuna2006Intelligence doesn't seem to be his strong point. Otherwise, why would he start out by swearing in front of tje judge??
The girls are lucky the defendant is a nice humble guy. If it was a different breed I think they’ll be in trouble
@@Sook995How are they lucky that he’s a nice guy? Do you think someone else would have beat them up or what? They won the lawsuit, because that was the agreement they had all made. Now it was enforced.
Nobody is talking about beating up a woman , but another person would had said , you want to party up this is my last month get someone else and talk to the landlord they knew they had this guy by the ballls and played about it and livid up. The guy mess up by sending text messages never agree to sht if you do not have to lesson learned.@@synnove1046
10:35 Doug interviewing the defendant with the tattoo had me thinking what in the flirtation is going on🍿☕️🤔
Omg I didn't even watch that and went back 🤣🤣🤣!!!! "I would love for you to show it to me" wowza
You see that arm rub?
Doug cracks me up!!!
"How U Doin????" Wendy Williams Voice*
He even felt him up 😂
Wow, he pays 1300 a month to their 500 a month and is rewarded with a lawsuit. Anyone who calls these women friend, should be cautious. They all seem very “low rent.”
He agreed to pay more. That’s not their problem. Why should they have to pay for the month he was legally obligated to pay for?
He probably thought they would ask I him on a date or do a threesome I don’t feel bad for him, some men only he,p thinking they will get something out of it not for nothing
Crazy I’d pay more for the master but not that much that’s just crazy that he would even agree to that
@@MarioMoore-fr2mnYes, he agreed to it but damn. For 11 of 12 months he paid $800 more then they did. That very last month, they could’ve and should’ve just paid the remainder. Suing your friend like this is horrible. I hope he chooses better friends.
These plaintiffs seem like a nightmare to live with.
Why, because they are female? 🙄
No, because of the stuff that was said they did. What a weird conclusion to jump to@@BeKind2AllKinds
@@BeKind2AllKindsdon’t be misogynistic. It’s because lesbians are difficult people in general
If the allegations are true
@@BeKind2AllKinds why would you assume that?
He seems to be a decent guy and honest
Was doug flirting with the defendant 😂
I WAITED UNTIL THE END TO REPLY TO YOUR HILARIOUS COMMENT!!! I MEAN HE DID "WISH HE COULD SEE THE ART"
@@zuritribe4844 lay off the cocaine my boy
And he rubbed his shoulder! 🤦🏾♀️
very very odd and weird
i would too. he’s not bad looking.
This is the first time where I think "had it been me" I wouldn't have sued my friend. He was a really generous to them. I also kind of think his girlfriend got in his ear. I don't blame her.
He does soon like a generous person. He paid way more money than they did.
I know this is going to sound sexist but women in general will do almost anything if they can get their hands on some money or resources. Men are more willing to let money go if it means less hassle and more peace. Men will work for more resources. Women will try to find ways to get others to share with them and will use all means available to them. I'm not denigrating women. All the more power to them.
@@hottuna2006 Those are the women YOU know.
I wouldn’t say that’s generous. If you agreed to that, pay it.
He is very generous !
Doug have some self control 😂😂😂
😂
He is so gay. Bless his heart
Came here for this comment. 😂
I always wondered, but this case confirmed it !
😂😂😂😂
Doug got real interested in that tattoo, WOW 😁😁
The way he rubbed his arm
Wow Doug asking the plaintiff if she's seen that "body art"! haha
Word u know what he was implying 😂
The two woman had a disgusting grin on there faces all the time wanting more money when they know they got a good deal in the first place, so sad it went in their favour.
Especially the one in the beige. She seems like she thinks she's all that and a bag of chips lol
@@irideaunicorn1620lol what? Bag of chips 😂 how do you come to that conclusion?
@@martymakeupartist I'm from the south. It's a saying we use. Don't act like you don't know what I mean or have never heard of it. 🙄 You look older than me so I'm sure you're know ma'am
Doug was ready to risk it ALL!!! 😂
Doug knows what he wants!
He paid more than his share for 10 months so they could even move in and get the place, made it unbearable for him the entire time and they have the audacity to sue him for august when they had a new roommate the very next month 😡😡😡some people are just flat out greedy!!!!
I feel so bad for this guy... Those girls seem horrible to live with.
Trifling disrespectful witches. And they got the nerve to sue him. I hope he learns that no good deed goes unpublished. Judge could hsve been nicer to him at the beginning she went to hard unnecessarily. We can always educate with kindness.
I really wish he spoke up for himself more!!! Those girls kinda took advantage of the situation. Being that he was paying more than half the rent they could have been more courteous roommates. You can tell they had no shame ruining his furniture and in how they lived. I know the judge had to rule the way she did bc of his texts. Hopefully karma gets them and this is the 1st thing that pops into their mind!!!
Yup, Judge antennas weren't up on this one. Plantiff stated got a deposit in August. JM shld've required evidence of a new lease agreement included with current roomate instead of a letter they typed up themselves.(why would the landlord take the time to write & sign a ✉️ for them in court IF he kept his whole deposit for 1 room paint/clean & accepted another deposit for new roomate. Where the defendant would be absolved of all of their shenanigans. it has to be a new or amended lease) In which they probably never signed & most likely on a month 2 month. Jus holding part of his deposit hostage while they trash the place and/or eventually get evicted
Man, living with someone else is one of the worst things that a person can do. I feel for the defendant in this case because he seems like a good guy but unfortunately got in with the wrong people.
Why he was the one making promises he decided to back off on. If u agree to something thats not an equal split you are legally required to abide by it and not just change ur mind cause your girlfriend was being a jealous hoe. Like hes not fighting with his former friends in any text by all real accounts it sounded like he agreed to the living situation and his girlfriend was pushing him to get out of it. The friends werent being terrible or mean to him otherwise they would have talked about it when they were texting.
Who in their right mind once they got to know you - if you are who you portray yourself to be here on this platform and are so boastful about - would want to live with you - the misogynistic, hate-filled, short-sighted Adrian?
Besides, according to you, you don't have to live with anyone because your mommy and daddy gave you a house. So, why would you even ponder the troubles of these lowly serfs?
Oh, that's right. Because you can. Because you like to side with The Man - even when he's dead wrong, in addition to spewing your anger and hatred for the Honorable Judge Milian.
🤢🤮
I live in Jamaica & the landlords are pervs & crooks and the courts are prejudice against foreigners.
If my mommy gives me a house then I can live alone.
An old roommate of mine had a boyfriend who would come over and eat my food. It was the worst! 😅
Lol Doug is such a flirt. Aside from that I feel for the defendant. He seems like such a nice guy and them girls definitely got over on him
i been watching tpc since i was a young child. first time seeing doug flirt. it was insane and i love him for it.🎉❤ in order to do it he had to ignore his gf. so flirtshade
Doug was flirting with him. Why couldn't she just say "watch your language, you're in a court of law". She didn't have to degrade the man like that. " low rent". What the crust 🤔
I missed what he said that was bad
The cut the sound off so we can't hear the bad terrible low rent word
@@deborahfrance9807 I had cc on and it didn't show any cuss word so I imagine they removed it
They got over on him and his girlfriend helped him see it, but it was too late. He made the bed so he has to lay in it.
Facts
It’s suckers like him who makes us look bad smh
The judge should’ve asked them for the lease with the new person after he moved out!
And they recvd deposit in August, put that up on his part of the rent new roomate occupied his space or return the defendants deposit.
Doug got a little touchy feely with that body art discussion. Dang, I didn’t know he was so into that.
Doug likes rough trade. Watching Doug fall all over himself was the best part of that case. "How far does it go down...". Doug, girl stop. 😅
Honestly I found a little disrespectful the way he passed the hand on the defendant s arm
@@emo-channelI was about to skip that part and go to the next case but the comments had me going back to see it for myself and ... I agree with you.. disrespectful, very off putting, creepy. He did say that kind of creepy things before .. but going as far as saying " I wish you could show it to me " while touching his arm the way he did it .. kinda disturbing
Lmaoooo
"Rough trade." I hollered. 😂
"Girl stop" 😂😂
That poor guy. They were keeping him up. Weren't they working? Plus he helped them out. What the hell? He should have never agreed to pay more.
Lol Doug tryna get a look of the guy with his shirt off
They definitely made his life miserable and they took advantage of him paying more rent. And he is one handsome guy
He said he’d pay so he pays. But morally those girls are just wrong. You couldn’t split the rent ONE month after saving for a year??? They’re jerks
Dough was really into the defendant 😂😂
Omg! Dough!!!😂😂😂
The look on the plaintiffs faces when defendant was explaining the living situation says a lot , those girls took advantage of his generosity, he should have had more evidence that he carried their load of rent and bills it may have helped his defense.
It wouldn't have helped. They admitted he paid more but it was agreed upon collectively. The only case he has is with the landlord.
He didn’t have to prove he paid more. That was the contractual agreement. No good deed goes unpunished.
I just don’t understand if he was originally paying 1300 for his OWN apartment why would you continue to pay 1300 WITH ROOMMATES??
The point of roommates is to get the rent cheaper. I know they took advantage of him, but he is kind of “not too smart” as well.
Ooooo Doug..sure was fasinated with Arthur 😂
Harvey looks like he ate a bowl of chocolate ice cream with that goatee.
Staaahhp
😂😂😂😂
10:25 - Doug was laying it on thick there... With the shoulder touching.. and the "wish you could show it to me" comment. 🤣🤣🤣
They took advantage of a nice guy, so although he lost I am glad it was the show that paid the amount he owed...
Doug is a real knob in this one LOL
Doug is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
SUSPECT
@@anthonynelson1187 definitely
I kinda think he acts gay sometimes lol what do you all think?
@@tanyaperez2151 lol
If this was Judge Mathis, when the defendant "rolled his eyes" at 5:20, he would have been thrown out for contempt of court 😂😂😂
Doug is a mess. I always wait till the end so he can make me laugh. Was he good!!!
The defendant seems like a good guy who doesn’t complain about much
AYo Doug at the end!!!
Those girls did him dirty and used him!
Doug was being extra zesty during that interview, 😏
He seems like such a nice guy. He probably took the 1300 deal because it was better than the studio he was living in.
Doug was even losing his voice at 11:11 Defendant had him flustered!😂
Doug is feeling the Defendants "Body Art" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I bet he asked to see it after the camera went off. Lol
Doug be tripping with his comments lol
First thing he said to them girls when they walked out was “guess you’ve seen all of that body haven’t you?” 😂
The plaintiffs each paid
$6,000 rent Defendant $13,000
They should be kissing him where his tatts end. ⬇️ 🤷🏾♂️
No they don’t need to prostitute themselves for rent money
@@mamathemeat ,
Prostitute? What are talking about 🤔
Doug has no chill, he's about to come up on a sexual harassment suit 🤭
Doug is one hrny old man lol. He likes “art”😂
I can't believe they sued him smh ungrateful bc he was helping them out by paying more for 11 months. Doug is hilarious 😂
Them *lay abouts SCROUNGERS * r just bitter they haven't got a mug to support them anymore.
NOW he's a good guy, hard working BOYFRIEND to another girl.
So enjoy THAT FREE MONTH HEEEEE SUPPORTED U ON, HOPEFULLY HE'LL NEVER SPEAK 2 U AGAIN.
GOOD FRIENDS- & PEOPLE OF THEIR WORD IS HARD TO COME BY... I WOULD OF HELD ON TO A FRIENDSHIP LIKE HIS WITH DEAR LIFE
HE CAME ACROSS 2 THE WORLD (hitting Oxford uk here :) AS A GOOD GENUINE GUY & FRIEND
He a kind guy and let’s not forget handsome as well. They got over!!!
Wait if they got a roommate for August why was he still responsible for August rent?
If u had ears the roomate didnt move in until Septemper dumb ass she just gave the deposit to give the landlord at the end of august to move into september
My only guess would be because the new roommate didn't move in until Sept
They got a roommate for September but they met and paid in August
She paid a deposit, not rent. She didn't move in until September. However, since her deposit replaced his deposit, the landlord needs to reimburse him.
He was truthful, and I believe every single thing he said... They more than likely made it unbearable, took advantage of him being a male (so skyrocketed the rent for him compared to their price), and no one disputed his claim that they were destroying and breaking things. So I'm betting no deposit will be returned, when they finally leave... that's not fair to him. They should have returned his deposit and got a new deposit from the new person, to take over his original spot.
Doug just kicked the closet door off its hinges.
They used this poor guy. They accepted his generosity in paying extra for almost a year and the thanks he gets his see you in court.
He's kind of 🔥 I believe they did create an untenable situation with partying, they look kind of trashy
I understand that he has to pay because he made that commitment but I don’t understand why he would agree to pay so much more rent than the other two in the first place. Also, if I had a roommate that was paying that much more rent than I was paying, I wouldn’t have sued them for the last month. Frankly, it makes me think he’s probably right about everything he said about them.
Let me ask this question, if the plaintiffs can get money from him for his portion of the rent, even though the lease agreement was signed by all of them with the landlord, why can't the defendant get his portion of the security deposit FROm them? I understand the idea that this deal was made with the landlord and he should sue him, but shouldn't that apply to the plaintiffs as well? They should've paid only their portions, so the landlord could come after the defendant for his part. And if they did paid for his share, that means they took responsibility for it, so in return they should provide him with his security deposit and go after the landlord separately for theirs. You can't really assume responsibility for him and then act like you don't have any accountability...
I don’t think the law works that way. If they all signed a joint lease together, that means that they, together, must come up with the rent. So the women can’t just pay their share and leave the rest for the landlord to hunt down. It could jeopardize all of them. Doesn’t make them right, but they would need to go after him and not leave it to the landlord.
@@timboslice9905 Wouldn't it mean that by doing this, they become an agent for the landlord? So they could be held responsible for his portion of the security deposit.
@@9481xyz Hmmmm…. Not sure. I just know that usually that rents got to be paid in full, regardless of who is or isn’t contributing on the lease.
Doug is a mess!!!!! 😂😂😂
Think Doug was getting a little guy crush there 😂
Forget the case...DOUG! Did you forget you were on tv? 😮
The guy is not really very expressive. It must have been hard for him to be there .
When he testified that there was vomit and booze on his furniture, the camera cut to one of the girls and she was smirking like what he was saying was true and she thought it was funny that his couch was ruined. He got screwed over in this whole deal. Poor guy couldn’t sleep with them making noise all night. That sucks when you can’t get a good nights sleep because of noisy roommates.
When he made the decision to leave what he had and move in with these girls still paying the same amount it was a mistake. It was of no benefit to him to not split the total evenly.
I wonder what curse word he said. Litigants have definitely cursed in her court before and she didn’t have that reaction.
The judge got it wrong on this one. When the girls got a new roommate and had them pay August 1st, that implies they paid for August. Especially if the new roommate paid again in September. Which means the first payment was for August. The follow up question should have been, did the new roommate also paid September 1st?
Two jobs before having roommates. Never ends well and there is nothing like having your own peace and quiet.
I went through a similar situation myself where I was taken advantage of and she should have been empathic to his situation. I feel so bad for him.
Good riddance for him to not live with those ladies they took advantage
Those two girls took advantage of this nice guy.
What they put out is going to come back to them..
What a couple of ingrates, paying about a third of what he was paying for rent, and now whining about ONE month's rent that they had to pay without him, which was STILL less for either of them than he paid for 11 months. "Master bedroom" doesn't really matter, since they all had their own bathroom.
Wow those plaintiffs really took advantage of him. But he is a mug for agreeing to pay the majority of the rent - that was dumb.
A nice guy and two leeches. Unfortunately he agreed to get leeched on.
The defendant should of walked right back into the courtroom to file a sexual harrassment lawsuit against Doug lol
The questions about the Defendant's body tattoos were weird. Especially when Doug asked the Plaintiffs about it. What the heck, was that about??!!! Sheeze louise, talk about being uncomfortable.. 🤨🤦♀️
I disagree..they medigated Thier damages by finding another roommate for August..so they are getting paid twice for August
They found them in August to move in for September.
I'm also not so sure that I believe that the new roommate didn't move in in August I don't trust a piece of computer paper that they could have easily typed up and signed, I know they say it would be hard to rent in that time frame but that's not always true, maybe with an entire property but with a room people move in on a moment's notice all the time.
I came down into the comments to post that this guy wasn't totally in the wrong - and I see that it seems as if its said already.
I think that hes much better off where he is now. I think if the plaintiffs waited a bit they might have gotten more money out of him - especially since he was getting the short end of the (steal?) deal they had for the apartment.
In my early 20s I would think "hey thats a good idea" if told I could live with 3 girls. Now? i think that sounds like a nightmare. I don't even wanna live with ONE roomie if I dont have to.
Most awkward Doug moments ever
Taking full advantage of him
Eyeroll before the trial even begins. They must be a joy to be around.
I don’t agree with the ruling at all if you live with someone in they make it inhabitable which is kinda inhabitable if you got people vomiting and partying all the time and you can’t sleep when you work 2 jobs.
As far as I’m concerned, he gave them a notice and paid rent when he wasn’t even there any longer.
He shouldn’t have lived with him but live and learn. And just cut them off. They seem like losers
I'm sorry but I think the judge is wrong.. I think they made his living situation unbearable and that is caused to getting another place.
I would of transferred his security to them and reduced the 1300 by 800 and let them deal with the landlord.
Those girls give me wanna be kardashians mean girl narcissistic vibes
The defendant Arthur Bevan seems to be a very honest and considerate man. I think the judge was not completely fair to him, the plaintiffs took advantage of his good nature. This is an example of it does not pay to be good to some people.
I wish there was some way this guy could have won, it seems like he got the short end of this deal, but the judge made the only judgement that was legal
I would have liked the judge asking the girls what the new roommate is paying ? I bet definitely not $1300 so goes to show that the girls are thankless that this guy for all these months paid more and as roommates they could have picked up some off his last months rent. It's courtesy as they were roommates ((you kinda become like family) and saved a lot of money these many months.
That was bs. They took advantage of him for 11 months then get to double dip. They rented his room out for August and he has to pay rent for August as well? Ridiculous.
JM really pissed me off with this case! She was such a jerk to him when he did more than his share, and failed to hold the smirky plaintiffs accountable!
ETA: the plaintiffs seem jealous af that he’s with the other girl, that and greed are the only reason they’re there.
They should be ashamed
Wait he was paying $1300 and they were only paying $500 each and they got a new roommate on August 1 so they had rent for that month. These girls are lucky they won because they definitely didn't deserve to. Yeah yeah i know his text promising to pay is what screwed him but I cant believe they would sue him
The defendant seems like a good dude. Hopefully, life is better without those horrible plaintiffs in it.
I wanna live on planet Doug Louellen.. priceless!
Feel bad for the guy. The friends made enough money out of him for the 11 months, as a friend I would have ate the last month with the other roommate as a thank you.
