Running Out On The Rent
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 02. 2023
- The plaintiff says he rented a room in his house to the defendant, but the man fell behind on rent and ended up in rehab for a drinking problem. The plaintiff doesn’t know what to do with the defendant’s abandoned possessions and needs the rent that’s owed, so he’s suing. The defendant says he went to rehab and moved in with his girlfriend, so he denies owing anything. He’s countersuing for his possessions.

I completely understand what this guy is going through… I lost my dad and I rapidly hit rock bottom. I went to rehab moved away. I’ve been sober 7 yrs in May ❤
Congratulations!! Way to go!!! I’m really sorry about losing your Dad, though. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been. And still is.❤️
Gfu, keep up the good good work!
🤗🤗🤗🫂🫂🫂
Sounds really rough.
That’s probably tough. Substances feel good but living life on your terms feels better im sure. Congratulations on overcoming!
The plaintiff is seriously one of the nicest and most patient guys ever!
💯👀😳
Stop signing please!
I see the opposite, he was taking advantage of the defendant and I bet the defendant was offering sexual favors. He thought he would come back after rehab, but ended up being upset he chose to live with his GF instead. He then “visited” this guy to make him feel better, but he ultimately got upset and used this as the last resort, “if you don’t come back, I’m suing you.”
@@LeeoGoneWild You must have a very hard time trusting anyone; I am sorry.
@@barbarak2836 absolutely. People who loosey goosey trust are always disappointed the most.
Part of recovery is being accountable for your behaviour and debts. He's lucky the plaintiff is really nice.
Most addicts are selfish. Selfish people tend to still be selfish in early recovery. It often takes a while to get on track.
* behavior
I'd have tossed that junk
@@Queeniej53054inmemoryofhntres * you can also spell it like "behaviour".
@@STOPTHEMAGATS If you want to spell behavior wrong ok 👌
The landlord has a good heart.
Too much. It’s a weakness in todays world

@@ralphtime it's really terrible to say this is how the world/USA is but so very true!
@@ralphtime What world do you live in?!
@@wezzman1 - There's no problem in being kind. There is a problem in letting somebody take advantage of you though, and that is what happens too often in today's society. This so-called kid is one of those people. He knew he didn't have any money for rent, which is why he took all the sentimental things and put them in his girlfriend's house. If the landlord was smarter, he would have clued into that. I remember thinking when he said it, what's the point of him moving things to his girlfriend's house if he plans on giving you rent, and that's supposed to remain his place? Clearly, this nice guy, isn't the brightest of people.
I feel for this kid. The plaintiff is extremely nice. The kid should've taken the offer for the furniture and apologized to the man
Well said. I feel so bad for the kid as well.
He didn't because he's an ungrateful bum. His mother failed him.
The "kid" is a man-child adult that needs to grow the hell up. I've lost both my parents my stepfather, my only grandparent, my house burnt down, not to mention my health, my brother had a severe stroke (and he was supposed to be my Kidney donor), and much much more. There is no excuse for his behaviour. It's just 100% selfish and inconsiderate.
@@judgeholder8112 - Seriously???
@@wvrjl yes seriously.
Someone needs to explain to this young man, that recovery entails owning up to your responsibilities and trying to rectify the wrongs you have done. He seems to be missing that part of recovery.
He seems to be sober not much in recovery those are two different things
Truth.
Well said y’all.
He can't remember and that's not unbelievable
@Alyssa Hamlett HI. Were never fully "Recovered". Once In recovery always in recovery. It's an everyday choice to stay sober, but you can be sober and in recovery simultaneously. You can see, ownership/responsibility hasn't fully clicked with him so I'd say yea. He's still recovering 🙃
It's difficult to admit when you are in the wrong. I wish both gentlemen happiness!
Only way it's difficult to admit when your wrong is when your prideful, stubborn, and selfish! These are qualities that we teach our children you know right from wrong. That stands for adults as-well! It's called ACCOUNTABILITY!
Not for a reasonable adult. I mean, look, I get it. If I lost my mother my entire life would fall apart but life goes on and you have things to take care of. This man was beyond patient, sympathetic and generous. You can't expect the world to stop just because yours has.
You couldn’t find any empathy for this defendant who put others at risk drinking while drunk. He didn’t care about others well being and he should be in jail right now for his poor choices.
If you pull 3 DWIs in my state within a ten year period it’s considered an automatic felony.
What state is this? Man the other 49 need to adopt it.
I’m from Texas and your 3rd DWI is a third-degree felony and up to 10 years in prison. Hence the saying: “Don’t Mess with Texas”
As it should be.
@@susanhendry-ku8vbsame thing in Florida
Plaintiff is the sweetest . I think the plaintiff had a soft spot for the kid
The defendant is still in the mindset that he is a victim of his addiction and can use it as some sort of shield for telling the truth and owning his problems.
The whole " not arguing with you" to the judge is his way of trying to force the judge to not make him face his responsibility through questioning him
Very well put.👍👍
The plaintiff is a saint.
My heart goes out to the defendant. But unfortunately being a sympathetic case doesn’t negate personal accountability. He need to get his shiz together big time.
I see you have found a way around the algorithm, lol.
@@sharonjohnson8512 😂 apparently!
Rehab is NOT a “get out of jail free” card. Recovery requires the addict to live up to their responsibilities.
This kid has a lot of nerve turning around to sue the plaintiff. He really thinks the world owes him something. I can almost guarantee his recovery ended up being a failure. He learned nothing.
Yes, that's true, but on the other hand, the process is NOT the same for everyone in recovery. It's obvious that the defendant is suffering from some cognitive/memory issues, most likely caused by substance abuse.
Xanax addiction is no joke. That drug did more damage than all the other ones I tried combined. So glad to be free from it and hope he also gets free.
Jordan Peterson almost died getting off Xanax. The withdrawal can be deadly
Keep strong!
👍👍👍👍👍
Grief really takes a toll on you. Hearing his story pulls at my heart. I would have cleaned up the mess and given him his mother's furniture back. Sometimes being a good human cost us.
Amen to this.
Grief doesn't give an excuse to drive multiple times while drunk. Paying for his irresponsibility is merely saying it's okay to endanger others. Stuff is just stuff. He's lucky he didn't kill someone.
@@projectionv.accountability1010 the police and guidelines established is the reason he was out catching DUIs. Where I'm from after being caught the first time he would have been locked up.
@@Pineapplesrmyfriends That’s not very nice of you to say that at all. The poor defendant is going through a lot and he’d loss his mother. Please cut some slack on him. Please be nice. There’s already a lot going on in the world. Have a good 1.
@@projectionv.accountability1010 well usually if he got the 2nd dui, his bond should of been revoked the bail for the first DUI. Who ever the judge is, was an idiot. Cause he also got rebonded out and got a 3rd DUI.
The plaintiff was an amazing person, makes me happy to see there are good ppl in this world
He's not in recovery. He's angry he's not apologetic, he's not taking accountability Judge Mathis would've been got him out of here 💀😂
Judge Mathis would’ve eaten him alive tbh
@@KSakamoto Doesn't look like it to me
RIGHT
It’s time for the Defendant to accept responsibility, if not he will eventually be holding a sign asking for your help🙏🏻 and living outside.
He’s probably going to get jail time when he goes to court in a couple weeks. 3 dwis is a felony
@@shirleywiese5230 if he got all 3 that close together and can get a halfway decent attorney, the judge may drop it to two just so he doesn't get a felony. I've never gotten a dwi but know of people who have gotten 3 in lest than 2 months and were only charged with 2. You are correct and he most likely will get jail time and thousands in fines but judges sometimes will only charge them for two. That also depends on his record and if he had any dwi's previously to those.
@@kurtchambers4760 true. I hope so for his sake. Since they were all so close together that might happen
@@shirleywiese5230 would have to be four to be a felony in Arkansas
Y’all feeling too sorry for the defendant grieving does not mean you have to turn to drugs and alcohol, my dad passed and guess what I still paid my rent on time so booo hooo give that man his money
2 DUIs and he’s out free to get a third one
Everyone is supposed to feel sorry for the defendant and he’d lost his mother. It’s sad. I guess you got a point there.
Everybody griefs differently, just because you do something doesn’t mean the next has to! Nobody’s perfect. & no I’m not saying he shouldn’t have paid rent but we don’t care what you do!
Exactly - EVERYONE deals with loss. If everyone just shirked life's responsibilities because a relative died, life would not go on anywhere. You still have to go to work, pay your bills, bathe, eat and sleep, and manage your responsibilities. Death is part of life.
EXACTLY. Most of us have lost people close to us & most of us didn't turn to drug and/or alcohol abuse & skip out on our responsibilities.
The way JM looks at John when he’s speaking ❤
This case is exhausting just listening to it.
I think that's just their accents and incredibly slow talking lol. I was sitting here like oh my lord 😂
If the defendant admits to not remembering a lot during his drug and alcohol abuse, how can he claim he didn't do such things? Just admit to what you've done and work on doing better
I wish I was as grounded and patient as the Plaintiff…
I hope the defendant seeks grief counseling and true substance abuse rehabilitation.
I hope the same too.
Me to
I'm sorry for his loss 😢BUT seriously it's your responsibility to pick himself up! Don't expect it's somebody else's responsibility !
I'm glad people are empathetic in the comments. But he's clearly got no empathy for others. His callous responses to his "multiple" DWI's, his response to the judge of "you can ask me a million times but I'm gonna keep saying the same thing", his blaming "them" for "specifically not wanting to sue him" even though he filed a counterclaim, his making excuses for every turn... that's someone who needs to grow up any take responsibility. Empathy sometimes involves a dose of being kicked in the *ss. He's lucky he didn't kill someone.
agreed, i’m sympathetic to his struggles but his lack of accountability and nonchalant attitude towards not only inconveniencing the plaintiff despite him being very understanding, his attitude towards JM & risking people’s lives while driving under the influence multiple times. grieving is not an excuse to potentially kill others.
Right right.
@@Kayla-rd5jd I agree with you.
I do feel bad for the defendant. I think he lost it when his mother passed away. I don't even want to think about what will happen when my father passes🥺
I feel bad for the defendant as well. I think you’re correct. Me neither. I don’t wanna think about what will happen to my relatives if they passes 🥺.
Why is she giving plaintiff such a hard time. He seems super credible and the other guy was zoomed out of his mind to even know what was going on. Grief is not an excuse to avoid accountability.
Because the burden is on the plaintiff to prove his claims. In civil court it's a preponderance of the evidence which is less strict than a criminal case. Also she can't award amounts without evidence to support that amount so she's probably frustrated because she believes him but has very little basis for amounts.
In North Carolina where I am we have to sue in the county where the defendant resides for small claims. I too feel that it should be where the offense occurred as my small business is stationary in one county; however, that’s not what our law requires.
I live in NC and you are correct.
My brothers and I lost our mom very suddenly, so sudden she was on emergent hospice for only 2 days before passing. I took advantage of the free year of grief counseling provided by the hospice company, my brothers did not. The difference between grief reaction varies between people, but with one of my brother's alcoholism tendencies, he relapsed and made poor decisions (again) due to the influence of alcohol. Particularly relating to not taking responsibility. I was able to curb how much alcohol I found myself drinking because I got the mental health care and developed better coping skills. I kept encouraging my brothers to do the counseling but they didn't want to. Can't force that sort of thing.
Sadly, mental health care, and grief counseling, is not accessible to everyone. It should be. Maybe the defendant would've avoided DUIs and losing his license, etc, if he had access (and accepted) therapy after his mom died.
My deepest empathy!. My mom passed in 4wks and 2 of those were in hospitsl at the top of covid. I was 42yrs old and it turned me into a child.. just broken and helpless. Thank God I didnt turn to drugs or drink but I do understand how others could. I was in so much grief, my soul hurt. So I hear your words and understand your grief 💔
Mental health care and grief counseling is available to those who want it. Some chose not to for personal reasons. You cannot force them to get help when they do not want it.
@Startrek1965 ... I actually said just that, if you read my OP.
🫂🫂🫂🤗🤗🤗
I love watching John and Marilyn interact. You can tell they are still in love after all the years they've been married.
The landlord is amazing! God bless him
I would love a landlord like that!
I hope the defendant gets alot of help and has alot of people in his corner
Unpopular opinion: I think they’re both idiots. The plaintiff could have said something immediately protecting himself and his property. He also could have put his stuff in storage right away and then charged for that. THEN he could have mitigated his losses by getting a new tenant.
The defendant seems to think his addiction is an excuse for poor behavior and taking advantage of a very nice and incredibly naive person. I hope he stays sober and gets a clue.
AGREED
Idk I find it cute when she finds enjoyment in his stories. Milian is the only judge I watch cause she seems the most fair and I learn from her and the humor is enjoyable. But her time spent with his husband does make her seem more ....awesome as a human
The defedent looks like he is been doing drugs before Court
Damn I hope the defendant gets help really fast before something tragic happens to him
Me to
awe i love the plaintiff 🥺🥺🥺🥺
The Plaintiff is the worlds nicest guys in the world while the defendant is the worlds dumbest guys 😂
I understand his mother passed away and he is grieving and hurting but you still owe this man rent which was cheap all you had to do was help him clean his yard.
I don't think the defendant is completely a bad guy, I think his brain is just so fried from drug use.
You don't get fried from drug use unless you're doing it for 20 plus years and it also very much depends on the drug you're doing
Now that I watched the episode I actually have a better understanding of what's going on the plaintiff made it very clear that he was on alcohol and Xanax two substances that will make you remember the least amount of things especially Xanax it will literally clear your brain from the day before you will not remember anything it'll come back to him after you put down drugs there's 12 to 18 months of post-acute withdrawal symptoms meaning the mental symptoms after that time he'll be much better if he stays sober
@@alyssahamlett His brain is clearly very damaged.
@@alyssahamlett the last part of your sentence tells me you might not be as dumb as I thought you were. You started off terrible your brain can absolutely become fried from drug abuse within a matter of weeks and months! We don’t know what drug he was doing it probably is fried. I hope he gets help I wish him the best
@@Lolalenice wow your comment was absolutely rude as shit but I absolutely know what I'm talkin about and I don't need your validation thank you
Bro you abandon your shlt
He better lay off the alcohol if it’s got him losing his memory that quick he could also end up losing his life over it . If he’s still drinking
It’s called grief and you think of nothing else and days run together so that’s false and when someone you love is dying on hospice everything is neglected and they are all that matters and important.
It’s a combo of the alcohol and the drugs.
Well I for one feel so sorry for the young man to lose his mother unexpectadly. He went over the deep end over it obviously. I pray that he gets the councelling he needs to deal with his loss.
Well said.
The plaintiff should have thrown that guy's ish out with the garbage and the whole idea that he owes him should be trash too and keep moving.
It's crazy that they're cancelling this show. I hope Judge Milian can shop around a new show and get a new deal
he got free storage for months while also not paying rent
Yup...SMH
I want to know how that defendant is still breathing on his own?
This is such a heartbreaking case . The plaintiff is so sweet and I feel sooo bad for the Defendant.
Plantiff seems to be a nice person at least in court 🤷
All the comments below praising the Plaintiff- NO! He's a pushover. There is a point where you can be a good person and help someone in need- then there comes a point where you're just being walked all over and have no spine to stand up for yourself and that is where I believe the Plaintiff is. As for the Defendant- he's clueless how the real world works and that's sad.
This is why when it comes to business it's not good to give people breaks. It may be that everybody, but one person will make good on your good will. But that one person who doesn't will likely cost you so much in money and aggravation.
Some of you his MOM Died?!
I am sorry how many mortgage free/rent free months should he get?
You paying that for him?
I feel for the defendant. I really hope he gets the help he needs. Alcohol is a brutal think to kick. Keep trying and you will get there
Plaintiff is pretending to be patient at first , he's obviously got that queens tude 🤣
Right! He said he messaged him on July 14th I'm like that's not even a month. 😂
I want to give them both a hug
The defendant has an excuse for all his woes, but his mother dying has nothing to do with his alcoholism, he needs to accept responsibility for everything he has done before he can start to heal. He says he can't remember much from back then, but then denies backing the Uhaul into the fence, but then repeats he can't remember much from back then...
Well said.
Unbelievable how patient Judge Milian was with the defendant and rather harsh towards the plaintiff. I think this young man is extremely selfish and used to manipulating people...all those excuses, there's always a death of a relative involved too (drug/alcohol related too?). She should've yelled at this punk!
Yelling is a sign of verbal and emotional abuse. Yelling is both unacceptable and unconstitutional.

Very cute ending segment. ❤
Defendant has a catchy name like a superhero. Blake Burns.
Shoot rent is not that cheap in Arkansas. We may be a small state, but they are charging New York prices for older apartments/homes and it’s insane lol
Same everywhere. I know you be like for "whaaaat?! What's here yo justify these prices?!" I know I am scratching my head in VB asking the same.
i respect the plaintiff for being a nice person, he could’ve easily thrown his stuff out but chose not too. i also really respect the plaintiff for being so honest, it shows he’s truly trying to recover. praying for him, i hope he is able to fully grieve and continue his journey to sobriety.
also the judge was getting on my nerves lmao like she keeps asking the same question like he’s going to say something different.
Ahhhh.....the good old days! When tickets were affordable - even over here in Europe. I was shocked when I went online to check out a recent concert. Decided against it. I think the last concert I saw (and maybe I just don't remember and that followed...?) was when I was in the US in the mid-80's and saw The Who in Boston. If they didn't have jumbotrons set up, it coulda been just about anybody on stage jumping around --- I couldn't see them from up in the cheap seats.
The Defendant is in a major BLACKOUT during this court proceeding.
JM, to file in small claims you DO have to file in the county they reside in. So her saying 'no you don't' is a lie. I physically had to travel to LA from TX to file on a debt a former friend failed to pay me back on. I could not do it in my town where I live, because evidently the incident did not take place in my town, it took place in his town.
That makes sense. She said he files where it took place, which was plaintiffs city. Not where plaintiff lives now.
That defendant needs to grow the Hell up.
I feel sorry for the both Plaintiff and defendant ,My heart goes out to the Defendant. I hope and pray he gets everything together.
And who got screwed up bcz he was the nicest landlord ever? The niceset landlord.

He was obviously not happy. As he didn’t comment after the verdict. His Mums stuff obviously didn’t mean that much to him.
I feel bad for the defendant, I hope he gets his life together soon. Unfortunately personal issues are no excuse to burden others.
That poor kid's world has been rocked and he's not coping well. Get thee to therapy.
Why is she being so rude and mean to the defendant.. kid has admitted he had a substance abuse problem.. like I feel as tho she tries to be like Judy sometimes.. the kid has been respectful no need to be so rude to him.. obviously losing his mother did a number on him
I’m starting to dislike her. The poor defendant lost his mother and judge Milan was scolding him. I didn’t like it at all. I’m glad someone else see what I saw during watching the case. I feel so bad for him.
Because he was behind on rent and there was no need to be that cruel.
The loss of a parent will do that to you. Our parents had a chance to live without us but when you have to live without them…it’s devastating. I lost both of my parents in 14 months and I haven’t been the same since.
This case should’ve been on Judge Judy
This is the first time I've seen someone who not only forgot most of the details of why they're being sued, they also forgot what they were countersuing for lmao. Think he might've left his brain at home that day
What a band line-up! Great taste in music
Well let's be real!!!!!
When I got divorced going through all that!!!! I got a DUI on Monday and a second one Thursday same week!!!!
I didn't need rehab and be a whining crybaby!!!!!
I took instantly response ability for my actions!!!!!
Grow up crybaby!!!!!! Rehab people
There is a brand new study that says when parents or anyone else say things like, grow up, man up, wake up, or woman up, that’ll make anyone feel more depressed, anxious, fearful, shameful, resentful, scared you name it. I personally don’t believe in tough love because I find it to be too harsh and cruel and I’ve seen people especially litigants feeling demeaned, demoralized, voiceless and powerless. Calling somebody a crybaby isn’t nice at all. That’s bullying and harassment. The poor defendant is going through a lot and he doesn’t need your toxicity in his life. Please cut some slack on him. Have a good 1.
The plaintiff strikes me as the type of guy who believes " Life is like a box of Chocolates" 🤣🤣 P. S. Happy Valentine's Day Ladies ❤
Why would you award him $100 for something you said you have no proof of? Oh just throw that in he’s done everything else.

I think both of them are good people. One fell hard but got some help, still not on top but getting there. The other wants what is owed but doing it very graciously!
All I saw in the defendant and his pity full stories was a guy wallowing in his misery🙄 at the detriment of his landlord.
In the best way, the plaintiff makes me think he's a drag queen
He's gay I think. Oh well.
right @ 7:39-7:45 of course he cannot remember when he got the second DUI.
I'm probably going to Hell for laughing a little too hard when Judge MILIAN basically asked the plaintiff if the defendant's mom died again.....

Arkansas seems to be the polar opposite of New York. Sounds like a great vacation spot.
