Walking Away from a Tenant

- The plaintiff gave the defendant a deposit for an apartment, but she claims the defendant started making outrageous demands. She changed her mind about the apartment, but now the defendant won’t return the deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff lied on her application, so she doesn’t owe anything

This is honestly one case where the defendant could have sued for harassment and actually got it.
Mmm that's a stretch
Not if the tenant was trying to collect her money from the landlord. She is crazy as hell.
@@user-ye5ku2ws6s the tenant was not entitled to the money, which is why she lost the case, so any efforts made to recover that money could be considered harassment.
The plaintiff's lucky she didn't get sued for one month of rent also. The defendant had every right to collect the rent for the 1st month and possibly longer. They had a signed lease, and the tenant broke it, making her responsible for the rent until the landlord finds another tenant. Most courts will let the landlord keep the deposit and charge rent as long they can physically prove that they were trying to mitigate their damages by finding another tenant. The planttiff got very lucky in this case.
Look she was already paid $500 for the inconvenience.....Not to mention, she's marketing to Section 8 people; Do you really think this is going to be hassle free ?
"I hate drama" (proceeds to bring the drama) "I'm SO sorry about my terrible, embarrassing outburst" (proceeds to have an even bigger, longer outburst).
Once she apologized for her behavior, I knew it was about to get way worse.
Embarrassed herself, point blank!
This is the most understanding I’ve ever seen the judge demonstrate.
The lady outside who thought the plaintiff was right is another example of people that get free stuff but still demand more.
She doesn’t understand how a deposit works
Ok JM you didn't have to keep reading those texts we get it! 😂😂😂
Lol she definitely nosey 😂
Of course, she had to keep reading it. And we enjoyed every minute of it. Even the plaintiff was laughing about it.
Oh, yes she did! I wanted to know ALL of the emojis 😂
Why not? She deserved to be ridiculed!!! Its not enough for her to get all or most of her rent paid by guess who?? You and I taxpayer!!! I raised both my kids alone and worked minimum wage jobs and did it without a government handout!!! Just another self-entitled person who uses two hundred years of history to get a free ride. Must be nice
The plaintiff is crazy. Maybe the defendant realized that early.
What did she do that was so crazy? The defendant could’ve had the courtesy to simply respond. She’s running a business, this isn’t a charity. She clearly was reading all of the plaintiff’s messages and didn’t respond intentionally. L owner and L comment
Right?? That's why the defendant said she blocked her texts and emails.
@@Mannymoco239You don’t think those messages weren’t signs of being a little mentally off?
Can you believe she's a single mother????!!! I mean wtff???
Hey, Government, if you're listening. Please give me Section 8 for a year, and I promise I won't complain.
I'm with you the only thing I've ever gotten from the govt is a tax bill to pay for all of the people I support like this
@@johnnytedder7152 Tell me about it! 😂
Me too! I will stop working if you can give me a free home!
80 texts in 1 hour??? I would’ve paid $500 to keep that insane behavior off national TV. But, it’s hilarious that some commenters are still asking “What? What did she do that was crazy?”. 😂 I do feel sorry for her kids though.
I could understand the 80 texts a hour through. 😂😂
Just so I'm sure, the plaintiff bailed because she didn't like the landlord wanting to meet to collect the money and sign the document at her place before she started moving in?
Yes! She thought that was a sign or moral issues. lol
Are you for real that's just delusional
That's what she says, but I think it's because she didn't have the rest of the cash. She seemed shocked at how much she needed to have upon signing the lease.
I can tell she isn’t the smartest and to me when the lady said that she could move in inventory she thought the lady wanted to watch her move in, she may have had more than the intended guest moving in
@@DaFinestDyme Yep. That's why every time section 8 does "inspection" they give a 1 month notice so all them people can move out for the day. lmfao
The plaintiff didn’t want to meet up and pay the landlord the rest of the money is what it boils down to. She was the one that changed her mind then proceeded to try and bully the defendant to get the deposit back. All she did was embarrass herself on national television with all those ass hat texts. 😂
Its amazing how entitled a section 8 tenant can be.
Wouldn't harassing a landlord get someone removed from section 8?
No
no
No
depends on your color
Nope the same way slum lords can continue to collect monies from Sec 8
The entitlement is out of control with this one at the end shes not even sorry for threating the landlord
She’s mentally ill. She doesn’t understand she was in the wrong which is why JM told her to seek help
Love Douglas’ face as the judge is reading the texts.
The defendant better get a restraining order.
Good advice. her countenance dropped when she lost and her statement to Doug indicated she was remorseless. Vacant eyes she got
It’s not that serious
Everyone talking about her being on section 8, but the way my property taxes & homeowners insurance keeps going up, I need to find out where I can apply😭😭
Facts.
Not for you, you are not limited income.
I have an easier solution, go to Mexico then cross the border and claim assylum. Biden will give you a bunch of money, an IPhone and fly you wherever you want.
I love my voucher. 💪🏽💙That's all. My Brothers taxes went up $1200 in Jan for his 2 rentals he has & he is singing the blues...good grief
all americans should get free health care and subsidized housing unless they are millionaires . housing and healthcare should be a right not a privilege .
“Your bathroom isn’t up to my taste.” GIRL! You’re 👏🏻 on 👏🏻 section 👏🏻 8 👏🏻 You take whatever the government can find you.
Work 2 jobs and pay your own rent and become a responsible citizen.
I can't believe the plaintiff texted your shower isn't my standard of taste but you're on section 8? Omg, ppl need to understand the situation they're in. She sounds incredibly stupld
People don’t care they think they are owed section 8 and they make a career out of it. I know people that can make good money by busting a$$ but they work the bare minimum so they don’t lose welfare screw that i rather have money in my pocket than having food stamps every month
Just because someone is on section 8 or public assistance does not mean that they can’t or don’t have standards. They are just like anyone else. You don’t know why they’re in the financial circumstances that they are. There before the grace of God go you.
@@butterflyroho6470 I understand that, but you can't complain when you don't have the means to do better. That shows how ungrateful she is. Having all necessities in a home that is clean is the bare minimum and she should be grateful to have the help for her to survive.
Can't believe you wrote that, like she should expect some 5 mode shower with the works.
@@butterflyroho6470 stop whining....these people are entitled
Stupid and ungrateful
To be on government assistance and have a "vibe", is wild. Welcome to America 😂
When the judge was reading the texts 😂oh my god
She got some issues. All that over 500 bucks
I've seen worse for less...
500 is a lot to some but she did do too much 😂
If you have never been a single parent or lived below the poverty line you would not understand how 500 can mean eating or paying bills. I am 71 years old and I am not in a position to just let 500 “go”. Sometimes this judge is just so tone deaf.
@@debraromero661 The plaintiff is not 16. You have to know as an adult that you can’t put money down on some thing, sign a contract and then change your mind and expect to get your full deposit back. It doesn’t work that way. Contracts are binding. It’s not about whether you can afford to let money “go”.
You completely missed my point. I was referring to the judge saying to just “ let the 500 dollars go”. You obviously have never been low income if you believe this statement. BTW I love this judge BUT sometimes she does not understand how the rest of us have to live.
Wooow, plaintiff is 20 shades of crazy. I bet that landlord is happy to have dodged a bullet! She should've been arrested for all those threats.
FIFTY SHADES OF CRAY CRAY😳
What the plaintiff did to the defendant is the definition of harassment. I’m surprised the defendant didn’t try to sue for the balance of one months rent because I think she should’ve at least gotten that.
Douglas couldn’t take it 😂😂😂😂
He couldn't even ask the plaintiff about her "If I snap..." message without a giggle 🤭
section 8 ppl seem to demand a LOT. ""the shower didn't meet her standards""?? Yeesh! WOW!! she should take the judge's advice to go to therapy. I sure wouldn't want her living near me.
Why is it that people who are SECTION 8 ( Housing help) recipients are the most entitled people ?
What are you actually, talking about
The emojis and sick people had me on the floor!! 😂😂
I had to be a landlord for several years when I signed mortgage for another. She moved out and started taking in renters. When city moved them out when they had no utilities because nonpayment, the insurance company came in to assess damages. That amount was almost 3k they have me. Sadly they do not pay for bedbug infestation. House was damaged, filthy and infested. Ever in that position again I’d be damned fussy who I rented to. Renters also left owing me approx 4 months rent. Took to small claims for rent and was awarded. Never saw another penny from award. Court awards but do not make sure it’s ever paid. 5/6 years later walked into a coffee shop and guess who was taking my order. I gave up trying to collect. In meantime I was paying two mortgage payments. Never again. There are slumlords as well as slum renters.
I’m a renter but I honestly think there are more slum renters than slumlords and it’s more mischievous with the renters because they might come across as normal, decent people until like a month or two later. Whereas you can usually spot a slumlord based on the way they keep their properties.
I don’t understand how people that get government assistance, feel entitled to have the best of things ….
The news media, for one thing. When you have everything given to you for free, you feel almost like you deserve it. You get jealous of what other more fortunate people have.
Why shouldn't they have something nice. Everyone on Government assistance is there for various reasons. You have the wrong idea! Some people have jobs and can't afford the high rent. Some are on unemployment, Disabled people, Veterans, Seniors, Widows, Some displaced homemakers and care givers. Who have paid and paying taxes in this country. So it's not the negative stereotype you're thinking. Section 8 is not free they pay a reduced rent or portion of their rent. If they have no income then it's free and that is rare🧐🤔
Entitled is the key word! When certain people are used to being handed things, this is the result. Ungrateful. Amazing how differently some people's minds work.
We all know receiving government assistance means you are not suppose to have nice things!🙄
Damn peasants how dare them😂
People talk about government assistance but then go apply for credit....most of yall don't own your houses or cars😂
Man she was salty asf over that $500 . Gotta know the laws man
I appreciate how gentle JM was at the end of this episode… she knows the pressure of being a mom and the high stresses of dealing with moving and all the troubles and experiences in life that “trigger” us… especially with the heavy burden of being low income. To be a person that is the only constant and maybe only person SHE can rely on (herself) and most definitely lives a life where she has been made to feel like most people are out to get her or scam her… the compassion I felt from JM toward the plaintiff was sincere and rare… that holds a lot of weight 💜🙏
When the judge was reading the text messages, i was crying! 😂🤣😂
Girl please. I have been in several tough situations and never acted a fool.
The crazy thing is the plaintiff doesn’t see anything wrong with what she did.
People need to stop giving security deposits before background checks. They need to only give an application fee, get approved then give a security deposit and rent.
I wish the judge had explained to her that in addition to deposits being non-refundable, she caused the landlord financial harm.
The landlord should have sued the plaintiff for the cost of changing the locks, a month's rent that was lost, and a clear case of harassment. (maybe minus the $500)
The plaintiff obviously didn't get it because she told Doug she wasn't sorry for the harassment. She still thinks she was in the right and the defendant did something wrong.
Being stupid is one thing. Being stupid and entitled and bat$hit crazy is a whole different level.
I hate that word "vibe", so douchey & annoying 😑 & section 8 tenants are always a problem
I couldn't believe she texted saying "your shower isn't my standard of taste" but you're on section 8?
Absolutely true! The plaintiff would obviously be a horrible tenant! (hot tempered)
Dang always a problem?
Damn you know every section 8 tenant to know they are all the problem?
Hey, hardworker here and I'm not on government anything; however you are including everyone based on them needing assistance with section 8. Not fair to group everyone. That's like saying ALL men are cheaters or ALL Caucasians are rich or racist.
You can't do that; that's not valid
If section 8 was a person 😂
Right , did she say the bathroom or shower wasn’t to her taste? Girl your taste is “ I’m broke” like wth
100%
🤣🤣🤣 thank you for that!@@nberger6984
Not only blacks or people who look a certain way are on section 8. I used to work for the housing authority. You'll be surprised who is on section 8. I've small business owners, people who looked very prim and proper. So you can't go by looks or race.
@nberger6984 section 8 doesn't mean they are broke, lol. Also, there are certain standards we went by when approving the units. So just because they have section 8 doesn't mean you can be a slum lord or just give them anything to live in. (I used to work for housing authority).
Plaintiff knows how to try to play the section 8 game. And knows how section 8 works. But this one backfired.
This is how mysterious property damage happens
Defendant dodged a bullet… LITERALLY 😢😮
That’s not how you use the word literally. Just wanted to help 😊
That is weird for a landlord to come to where you live 🤷
Plaintiff was wrong about her wanting to be there to watch her move in; she was probably wrong about her wanting to come see her old place too. She’s a nut.
THE PLAINTIFF WOULD’VE BEEN A NIGHTMARE!!! (the defendant should consider herself lucky!)
Did you pay attention? The landlord was coming to collect the rest of the money that was due and have her sign the apartment condition inventory. There isn't a thing odd about that at all. The mistake she made was giving her the key before collecting all the money. The plaintiff was coo coo for coco puffs. If I were the landlord, I'd breathe a sign of relief I didn't up with that loon.
@@tunisiancrochetchannel Exactly! The plaintiff is exaggerating everything…. She would definitely have been a nightmare tenant!
What are you talking about? It's the landlord's property
She should have gotten awarded for harassment also.
I don't understand why the landlord felt the need to ignore the text messages when the landlord. Could have easily just replied. Please look at your lease it states that deposits are non-refundable.
Texting is the most impersonal form of communication.
Just text the the facts of the matter press send and then block their number.
Not that difficult, but I guess people need a little drama in their lives so they have something to gossip about.
Anyone that needs to be told "deposits are nonrefundable" isn't someone that would understand that "deposits are nonrefundable". Also, blocking them a lawyer would advise you against blocking someone like the plantiff. You say "They want drama" but it's gathering evidence to prove how unstable the person is because this is the kind of crazy that will sign saying "I accept I owe 2000" and then get surprised when they still owe 2000.
@@Fribee83I totally agree with you
What a boneheaded comment. First of all plaintiff is implying physical harm with 💀 emojis, and she’s completely unhinged just due to The number of texts. What possible good Could it do, if you know The law and know That you’re entitled to the deposit, to engage with someone who is behaving like she’s psychotic?
This is a well stated comment
Hooooly Cow! The plaintiff's wig is some of Thick! It must be fully equipped all weathered like a set of Goodyear tires! 🥵🥶🤣
😅😂😂😂 that was the first thing i noticed as she walked in. I think i saw that wig on Tic Tok.😂
I work with wigs and I can tell you, it's one of the best inexpensive wigs that you can buy, so good on her. I'm sure she felt it looked more presentable than her natural hair for court.
@@cynthiacler9284 Tic Tok she needs to stop! 🎵🎵🎵🤣
@AndrewMacLaine National Television!? She probably should have spent the extra bucks 💸 🤣
You gave her the keys before signing the lease smh. Seems like tenant was in a rush to move in. Red flag!
My brother has over 35 houses and apartments. He said, sometimes you just get a nut tenant that is a bad apple and it comes with the territory. He makes good money but I couldn't do it.
Love how the judge delicately handled the plaintiff. She understood how delicate she is🌺
Judge Milan had the gauge how she interacted with the plaintiff because she witnessed how crazy she could have gotten
Sometimes, embarrassment is the best punishment 😳
The plaintiff knew she messed up.
I work with mentally ill ppl. JM gave her the best advice by telling her to seek some counseling. I don’t find anything funny about how the Plaintiff conducted herself. Reading through the comments I find it sad that so many ppl do not recognize mental illness. JM definitely did and gave her a talk at the end letting her know that she was not done wrong. Also, the landlord handled this perfectly by not responding back to her texts. I’m glad she did not let this woman rent the unit and I hope she takes JM’s advice and seek some help
The landlord looks like she would be a pain . Should give that woman her money back
Exactly
On section 8 and wanna say the shower isnt up to your standards. Then get off section 8 and pay for a place with a nicer shower.
Always read the contract!
I think after I went crazy texting I will sue on peoples court wow
This is honestly one case where the defendant could have sued for harassment and actually got it.
I’m thinking she was going to try to move in a non paying roommate, maybe a boyfriend. The landlord would have seen his stuff being moved in.
So, do landlords actually ask permission to visit a prospective tenant’s CURRENT residence to see how they “keep” their place? Is that really a thing?? 😧
Usually landlords would ask for a reference from previous landlords during apartment applications regarding issues like how the tenant keeps their current apartment, how well they pay, etc. Visiting is definitely odd
Kind of, i live in a borrower and they do inspections once a year.
Right? How is no one else mentioning that? That’s INSANE! Landlords are leeches
Yes!!!
Nope.
The plaintiff not being sorry for what she did tells me all I need to know about that woman. At least the judge kept going on with her texts on national television so that she could at least feel some embarrassment from her actions.
If someone can't pay the entire deposit all at once that is a sign that future payments will be in doubt.
The defendant is actually very lucky that the plaintiff did not move in to her unit. It seems like the plaintiff has some anger issues and does not know how to process certain things appropriately. I can't imagine having her as tenant? It's unfortunate because the planes have probably realized after her outburst that she messed up but then she took it too far with those text messages. She's lucky that the defendant didn't file harassment charges on her because that's the little definition of harassment. Personally I probably would have just gave her back the money just to be done with her but legally she is not entitled to that money.
The defendant should have returned the deposit for her own safety! $500 isnt worth possibly being attacked
/losing your life. The plaintiff truly believed she had been scammed. Her understanding and perception lead her to go off the rails. Thank God she didn't act things out in real life.
She’s mentally NOT sound & extremely immature. She’s the one who changed her mind. She didn’t NEED that section 8 apartment or she wouldn’t have given it up so fast over stupid things. She needs help.
Plantiff look so defeated 😢
Not used to being told no.
Trauma :(
I agree. I would of just gave her the $500 back for peace of mind. I have learned to fight smarter.
I love the part about "my hard-earned money". hahahahaha. Section 8 Bish, that is MY HARD EARNED MONEY, THE TAX PAYERS MONEY. Section 8 people are the most entitled people ever!
The math don’t math if the rent is $1275 and the deposit is $500 that’s $1775 and if there is no first or last where so we get she still owes $2000+ just wondering what I missed
Section 8 pays a portion.
Security and first months
1275 first month rent and 1275 security deposit worth 1 month rent. That's 2550 she paid 500 left 20(50) due
@@grindrtest6438 they never said what the deposit was and she accepted $500 so I assumed that was the deposit
Not GloRilla’s cousin harassing someone knowing that one false move can cause your Section 8 Voucher to be revoked
This is why you shouldn't rent to section 8 people.
Tell me your broke without telling me your broke.
“Ok… I was wondering what you meant by that! 🤔” lmao.. I can’t stand Doug! 😂
The Judge made the CORRECT Decision 😊
I actually like the way this was handled. I don't think the plaintiff is a bad person. She was just having a meltdown and unfortunately the defendant had to deal with it.
No, she is a bad person. And we all witnessed it.
@@janicesterno she is mentally ill and even JM recognized it and suggested she seek help.
@@janicesterif she will talk to a prospective landlord like that, imagine how abusive she is to her children. Those boys are future guests of the state.
Judge embarrass her to teach her some manners. 👍
Shes on section 8, what a suprise
The landlord dodged a bullet by the plaintiff backing out.
I think the plaintiff misunderstood the inventory list message. She was thinking it was about her things instead of an inventory list of the apartments condition. That sent her.
When she was reading the text, I was losing it. 🤣
It seems like the people with the less amount of money are the ones with the most demands. I do like the plaintiff, and sorry for the unfortunate situation she got herself into.
This is the nicest I’ve ever seen the judge behave
I would have gave her money back. Sometimes the right thing to do is better than the law. Karma is a bishhh
She had to change the locks because plaintiff didn’t give the keys back!!
It wasn’t necessary to read all her texts. She was doing it just to embarrass her
I think it was to show the plaintiff how crazy she was acting and to prevent it from happening again.
Perhaps, but it also wasn't necessary for the plaintiff to have texted so much stupid ish either...
Yep. Milian can't hide her racist and biased behavior even if she tried. She publicly tried to humiliate and embarrass this woman.
Sometimes embarrassment is good. No one in her family or circle of friends would have pointed out to her how crazy that was. Clearly she was embarrassed because she got to hear how crazy she sounds, while she was unemotional with a clear mind. This lady was ready to risk it all for her $500. She would have made a decision that she would regret. If reading those out loud embarrassed her and could have her to take pause in the future, it was worth it.
Sometimes a person needs to hear their own voice. Don't want to be embarrassed...don't go on national TV
PLAINTIFF IS SICKENING TALKING TO HER LIKE THAT!! DISGUSTING ! OF COURSE I PAY UR RENT.....U R OWED NOTHING!!!!
Plaintiff didn’t have the rest of the deposit, that was the problem.
Defendant dodged a bullet here and should be thanking her lucky stars the plaintiff didn't move in.
Plaintiff getting all wiggy because the landlord was asking for the remainder of the payment and to sign the legal paperwork before she could enter the unit? That's code for the defendant not having the money and shafting the defendant the funds she would have to pay above and beyond Section 8. And then the plaintiff saying she doesn't like the defendants vibe after asking for the balance? Then the txt stream on top of it all? I like the face on the plaintiff as JM reads out her txt's, yes plaintiff, we see you just realized that you are that cray cray. "Have you ever been to therapy?" JM nailed it.
Tell us you're a nightmare tenant without actually saying you're a nightmare tenant.
The plaintiff is very lucky the landlord didn't countersue for the rent she missed that one month after the plaintiff backed out of the agreement & lost her mind. Just shows this landlord was actually a decent person.
Wow! Someone actually knows how to say the word “ask”. 😂
😂asks ed askeds assskd 😂
It's almost like section 8 is a failed program and only encourages entitled behavior...
No not true I was very blessed to be a recipient in my time of need. I kept my apartment very, very clean. Immaculate respected my landlord's property and took care of it like it was my own. It was a stepping Stone from me and my family until I graduated from college.🙏 Not everyone who's on section 8 is entitled, irresponsible and messy.
@mitulu74 love hearing stories of section 8 being used properly and helping people get on their feet!
Hmm, did the defendant walk in with an arm sling holding her arm up and after case ends while walking out, she was carrying the sling out on hand?
Yes but she took it off when she was in the court room, still fishy
@@jennilynreed7495 reminded me of an old I love Lucy skit where she was in wheel chair with broken leg to sell a store and when noticed her store was closed she stood up pacing all mad in front of cop. 😄
We are missing the fact that the landlord wanted to come to her old place and view it WTH
Take out the fact she was receiving assistance, she didn’t move in the apartment so why not just give the money back? She wasn’t out of anything because she turned around and rented it without a problem.
I was thinking the same thing. Give her back the deposit. Some things are not worth fighting over. A peace of mind is priceless
Her reading out those emoji texts got me rollin 😂
She talks different in court then in texts
Most crazy ppl do 😂
To be honest, she might be bipolar.
Tax payers are paying for her life. So Nope!
Less than 2% of your taxes pay for social services. A much larger percentage goes to pat government officials bloated salaries. Get off Faux News
That’s my tax money too bozo, and I much rather it go to poor people instead of the trillion dollar military industrial complex or to bail out corporations
Although the law is what it is, if I was the landlord …
I would have given that lady her $500 back so that we could move on. She wasn’t really losing much in the first place and the plaintiff obviously was going through it.
But she said she lied on her application. What did she lie about ? they never said.
She just gave her money back and let her go on
It's the judge reading the text that's sending me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The plaintiff went a lil overboard, but I understand. She’s a single mother and looking to house her family. The defendant should’ve explained she didn’t want to rent to her and advised she was keeping the money.
