Rotten Renting

The plaintiff lived in a room in the defendant’s house, but it was unbearable to live there. After moving out, the plaintiff says the defendant illegally withheld his security deposit, so he’s suing. The defendant denies owing because he says the plaintiff used some of his security deposit to pay rent for his last week, and the plaintiff left a bunch of furniture behind.

The Defendant knew they were paid up. As soon as it was proven they paid, he immediately pivoted to "what about the damage?"... Plus, the picture of the damage was from 2 months AFTER they moved out? The Defendant lies without missing a beat, scary.

All the damages they did my house but was able to rent it the very next day? The defendant is a bum!! Plain and simple

[NatashaEh]

the way hes acting, he does this to every tenant, assures them to use half the security only to keep the other half. someone needs to report this guy

It’s amazing how people interpret, in their head, what was said. With some digging the Judge discovered 1. Someone move in immediately (you had no lost of rent), 2. You didn’t document that they were late on rent in fact there is evidence to the contrary. 3. You lied about when you took a picture! But the defendant interpretation…“landlords always get screwed” . As if he was the victim.

For the people saying that they shouldn't have sued for 160,

1. For you it may not be a lot of money, but for some it can make the difference between food or no food, electricity or other essentials.

2. Sometimes it is about the principle. Some people will walk all over you because they think they can UNTIL you show them they actually can't. Also going on TV, people might see the scummy landlord and refrain from renting from him, which is good.

I can see why he tried to take advantage of the plaintiff. I’m glad they came prepared

[traceyaz]

He gives off the vibe that he does this to all his tenants and typically gets away with it.

The defendant
Is awfully ballsy telling a judge, “I’m not wrong.”

This is the one time I didn't care for Doug's conversation at the end. He was on the defendants side talking about if he had evidence NO his evidence made a liar out of him. Then to keep asking the plaintiffs was it worth the little bit of money 160. HECK YEAH. If it was 1.60 it was worth it. Its theirs 🙄🤨

[UnfrozenCavemanLawyer]

The defendant is totally untrustworthy to the max.

[bunji_beans]

Dude was really pressed about being told he was wrong lol "I'm not wrong; what about [completely different thing]!"
"Can't be nice". I guess mistakenly accusing them of being behind on rent and trying to pin damage on them that he can't substantiate is being "nice" 🤣

That girlfriend is amazing. Beautiful, soft-spoken but still strong, sweet and wonderful personality. Absolute Elegance.
A very impressive quality person.

[KayB-lh]

The defendant is wrong AF. Its clear the plaintiff has some difficulties and he tried to take advantage. Good thing him and his girlfriend is on top of his business 👏 👏 landlord greedy AF and rude with his lying ole sorry behind.

[EnigmaShauna]

Landlords always get screwed? Maybe if you hadn't lied..

[Jonboyy]

11:29 yeah and land lords don’t be a sneaky slime ball like this guy! 😂😂😂

[Mannymoco]

Oh nooo, won’t someone please think of the landlords 😂

[STOPTHEMAGATS]

In the defendant's head, he can do no wrong. He was very smug. "I am not wrong", "She misunderstood", yet he wouldn't even give back the $10 overpayment of the cable bill. In his head, he is the victim. Just like after he was proven credibly incredible, he says "The Landlord always gets screwed". He's got a big victim complex

[brilliantlybb]

"I don't care either to tell you the truth" he was MAD he got caught!!!!

[WarGrowlmon]

Oh he's got a bad attitude for someone who got caught committing perjury!!!

[gabbylem]

Why is he so cocky over 100 bucks? Some landlords have to pay back 1000s
