Being Too Nosey

The plaintiffs say they rented a home from the “creepy” defendant. The plaintiffs allege the defendant peeped into their window and went through their trash, so they had to get out. The plaintiffs are suing their former landlord because they claim he is illegally withholding part of their security deposit. The defendant argues the plaintiffs damaged the floors and walls, so he denies owing a dime.

I don’t know what irked me more, Doug touching and moving the girls hair or the old man saying “ you can’t always tell by the color of their skin”

The judge getting jumpscared at the beginning took me OUT 😂😂

“Sometimes you can’t tell by the color of their skin” after Doug says they seemed like nice people. 😳😳😳

Doug ALWAYS asks about people's tattoos.... he is waaay too into that 😂

Every time I move into a new rental, I spend at least 2 hours filling out the condition report. I normally contradict everything they have written, because these landlords want to rent out slums, but be given back a house or apt that looks like new, & when it looks the same as when you move in, they keep your security deposit

For once, the landlord has reasonable paperwork.
People should READ their lease-- ALL OF IT!

Even if the plaintiff's never told him about the mold he could clearly see it for himself. As a landlord I'm sure he viewed the unit before they moved in and saw the mold. I would think he should have done something regardless if the tenant said anything about it. And based on the before picture of the bathroom, I believe the plaintiff that the burn mark was already on the floor and other damages were there already too.

Nice tenants. They learn a valuable lesson that will save them a lot of grief in the future. Good luck to them.

Why is everyone so surprised when someone actually speaks the truth. He said exactly what he meant to say. No beating around the bush.

They left that apartment spotless! Even the oven was sparkling clean! They are unicorns!
And they got rid of the mold in the bathroom, even though they did a sloppy paint job.
I would have happily repainted (that has to be done anyway) & only charged them for repairing the floor.

In the after verdict interview. Doug asked the old creepy racist. They seemed like lovely people. And old racist said you can’t always tell by the color of their skin. WTH was that??? Did the editor take off his headset and just not listen to the interview and he just trusted it was ok? I hope anyone who rents from him watches this mini interview so they know what kind of landlord he is.

Harvey: "Would you trust the landlord? Say no." 🤣

Back in 85 I sued a landlord that wouldn't return my deposit. I left because of a noisy neighbour. The resident manager handed me a blank lease, asked me to read it and fill it out myself later. I got my deposit back, he tried to counter sue me for 3 months rent which he said took that long to rent the apartment. However someone from a lower floor moved into my place right after I moved out. Judge could see through the lies.

Never move in before the landlord has finished whatever repairs needs to be done. Let him finish or keep looking for a different place.

In the hallway interview with Doug, the defendant meant it exactly as he said it. If someone is speaking of a person's character or personality and the other person mentions their skin color, they definitely are bigots. Nobody else is thinking abt the color of a person's skin but THEM, which is why they dont have any qualms saying so.

[Kattastrophynx]

What on earth did the landlord say at the end?
“They seem like very lovely people” and his response was “sometimes you can’t tell by the color of their skin, right?”

I wish they hadn’t let that slide and asked him what he meant by that

[misseazar]

When JM said “well we don’t know how to paint ” I screamed😂😂😂

[Rayebae]

I’m not surprised the landlord said that.

[billmoran]

Goes back to never sign paperwork without reading and understanding it ! I think they moved in the father and landlord found out and they didn’t want to pay extra charge, so they mutually parted but both sides were angry at each other about it so here we are .
