Being a Rotten Landlord 

She was a difficult tenant = She knew her rights as a tenant, so I could not bully her into a new lease, raise her rent without proper notice, give her back her security deposit when I felt like it, or keep part of it.

Lady tries to raise the rent before she even owns the property... She's a treasure

You were not her landlord long enough to determine what type of tenant she was. You were trying to bully her and be greedy, but the tenant did her due diligence and won 👏🏼👏🏼

A place for trash was NOT included? How is that legal? That's like not providing toilet facilities.

How ironic that the defendant called the plaintiff 'difficult' when in reality, she was the one being difficult.

Good for the plaintiff, what a shady landlord

She was 'so difficult' she told her she was welcome to stay 😂😂😂

Greed for $200 & a bitter, bitter landlord. Serves her right. Great job Judge Milan. 😊

How could she be a difficult tenant when she wasn't a tenant of yours for only a month !!! Oh because she wouldn't roll over a play your games 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting how she lied to the judge about sending the check September 1st, not thinking about how all mail gets STAMPED. 🙄 😂

She was a difficult tenant... "(Code For)". The tenant knows her rights. The tenant isn't going to allow me to lie and bully her. That's really what the defendant wanted to say 😂

She tried to cheat her out of 200 bucks, and got whipped with over 5 times that 😂I love it when people who try to take advantage of others get what they deserve.

The Defendant is so greedy. Why not hold a meeting with all the residents get to know them and tell them that in 3 months this what the rent will be etc... Glad I don't rent anymore

Bravo to the plaintiff! Did her homework!🙌🏾👍🏾

"She was a difficult tenant" In the words of Harvey... She hardly knew her! 😅

Plaintiff:landlord said don’t tell anybody I’m going to make your rent cheaper…. Well now everyone knows🙃 sure it was fun for that landlord collecting rent after this aired🥴

Mail lady here. I know the post office can be slow sometimes but i can promise that letter didnt sit for 6 days lol shes lying our drop boxes get checked (90% of boxes 2 times a day) the other other 10 once a day

This is the type of landlord that will squeeze every penny out of you if you don’t know your rights. So shameful.

Good for her! I'll have to sue for double my deposit soon. It's been over 30 days and I haven't heard anything about my deposit.

I’m glad she won greedy landlord

I'm so glad the plaintiff knew her Rights! I hope the defendant doesn't get any business after this!

Defendant: I'm just glad she doesn't live in my house anymore. Doug: Why? Because she did what's right? Me: 🤭 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Doug is 🔥🔥

This case was nice it back fired 😂😂

Welp, that’s what happens when you be greedy 💅🏽 Also, how was she a difficult tenant when you just got there? You don’t know what kind of tenant she was.

Greed meets Karma! 👏🏾

Always very satisfying when landlords get stung.

The Defendant knew she was being shady and greedy.

I hate when landlords don’t know the law and bully tenants. And this is why renters should know their rights.

"I didn't get the forwarding address for her until August 17th so I waited until September 1st to mail it to her."

That landlord was an evil cow

They are always difficult when they don’t do what they want you to do.

Justice for the People😁

What a shady woman, the plaintiff deserved every penny she won. I lived in my old apartment for 17 years, my landlord was in the process of selling and the new owner came into my apartment without my consent before she even owned the place, on the day of closing she did it again. This woman is the prime example and I should have had the woman arrested.

SO GLAD SHE LOST!

An “experienced “ landlord should know better I think she has skirted the law and no other tenant knew enough to challenge her

So happy for the Plaintiff 😊

i like how the Judge's glasses match her hair and nails :)

I was renting in Hawaii and when the Pandemic finally hit over here the landlords all tried to greedily double their rents. My rental was paid ahead by 3 months. My landlord wanted to increase $500, obviously not double but still too much, x so I notified I would not be renewing. He then during the pandemic wanted to have open house showings weekly during my last 3 months. I put him on notice I wanted assurance his agent would provide hand sanitizer, masks and that people would not be allowed to touch surfaces etc as it was unreasonable for that amount of time my home should be open to strangers and place us at risk for illness when essentially the island was on lock down. He backed off and became reasonable and finally allowed me to live out my tenancy in peace. I went on to buy a home and so happy I did. No more being at the mercy of landlords, some of whom definitely take the lord part of the title too far!

The landlord was greedy. Upping the rent 27% as soon as the ink was dry and then trying to withhold security. Had she not been so money hungry she wouldn’t have gotten sued. Karma always delivers!!!

Landlord was on a power trip now that she owned the property. This is a case where Greed exceeded need. She said he wasn't a new landlord, so she should have known the rules. If she doesn't change her ways, she's gonna cost herself even more money in the future

Drive the letter to the post office, the mail box means nothing!

I feel bad for her current tenants.. good job, son!!

Serves the greedy landlord right. The tenant was only "difficult" because she knew her rights and wasn't manipulated or bullied by the defendant.

Fair is as fair does. 😂

The judgment was so satisfying.Because these greedy landlords be trying to Get over.. She was trying to be greedy over two hundred dollars and now she has to pay over a thousand

Somebody took the lord part of landlord a little too seriously. Pay the lady!

Landlords that immediately raise rent based on “fair market value” are 🗑️ I love love LOVE that she got “spanked” by the state of New Jersey 😂😂😂👏👏👏

The rent will goooo up NOW 😅😅

Did you learn anything? Yeah, don't be a thief 😂

I love when greedy people get put in check! And especially for a small amount of money 😂 also when he says “because she did right thing “

Becareful when renting.

The Judge called out that landlord. JM’s judgement exposed her character and who she really is. Kudos to the plaintiff!

Landlords like this are exactly why the law exists. Good for the plaintiff!!!

Haha what the hell did the landlord expect 😂😂😂 she thought she had the right ! Get outta her 😂😂😂😂

I know landlords have the right to change the rent if the lease is up and you are on a month-to-month. I don't even know why she thinks she can make rent changes when she is not even the landlord yet.....

Well i can see this landlord has probably ripped off tons of other tenants.

She was a difficult tenant because she knew her rights and wouldn’t let you take advantage of her? Girl please! Trying to raise the rent before you even own the place GTFO!

Good for the tenant for looking up the law and knowing her rights.👏Damn greedy landlords. 😤

Good for the plaintiff! Congratulations! Greedy landlords.

Loss 1850 for being greedy over 200😂😂😂😂😂

LOL GLAD SHE WON

Good for the tenant, $200 cost the landlord $1650.

There’s usually a single name that sums up the defendant.

The defendant is a liar

Oh well! Tried to be greedy!

I cant with this Lady She didnt own the house & she thought she could Tell her verbally anything. Maine not only doubles the amount but the Landlord can NOT keep anything. They lose that right.

If she's not new to being a landlord then she really should've known better!!! Unless she's just used to getting away with this kind of thing because that's always possible

Well Karen, the landlord knew this was a difficult tenant after two weeks because she didn’t get her way. I think the plaintiff is lucky she doesn’t live there anymore.

Good for Her ! Greedy, GREEDY lying new landlord. Shame on U.

She was a difficult tenant because she wouldn't let herself be bullied and she actually knew the law and she asserted her rights as she SHOULD!!!

That narrator should be applauded! “Come ooooonnnnnn!!!”😂

Why can’t people admit it when they are wrong? Sheesh

Hopefully, the plaintiff will contact the other tenants who moved out and get them to sue the greedy landlord. I'm sure the greedy woman did the same thing to the other tenants.

Love how the defendant comes out throwing shade. Lady you got greedy and held out your grubbing hand demanding $200. Learn the law if you want to be a landlord.

Yup. Plaintiff did her research and prevailed 👏👏even JM seemed impressed and only had to hit the gavel to make it official🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lesson: Don't be greedy because it will come back to bite you!

Boy the landlord had some nerve. She shouldn’t have tried to be a greedy piggy 🐷

How $200 turns into $1850

I'm glad she moved out because the red flags are already waving.

Yay🎉🎉🎉 Finally twice the amount for a jerk of a landlord and person!!!! I feel sorry for anyone renting from her!!! And yes she was a bully!!! Plaintiff, good job girl!!!!

An educated tenant is a nad landlord's greatest nightmare.

When a tenant is late BY A DAY landlords charge fees. This landlord is part of the “whats good for yee, is not for me” crowd.

Defendant was a greedy woman,serves her right, ended up paying a heavy price.

Good for her! The landlord seems pretty greedy and shady.

The landlord is dishonest.

The REAL shame is the loser NEVER pays for anything, because the show covers it, so they are never really punished.

Defendant got spanked hard for being greedy AF

I'm not sure why she felt bad about making that swindler follow the law, like everyone else. She would have got dressed down properly if she had lied to Judge Judy and disrespected her in her courtroom the way she did Judge Milian. The plaintiff was even suing for the exactly right amount. Double the security deposit, minus the amount she received late.

Kurt thinks he's introducing a UFC match.

If the audacity was a person. Terrible judgment and greedy landlord. Fair judgment!

How does the mother look younger than her son? 😂

Defendant has the physique of a snowman.

Prime example of FAFO

That landlord is a monster omg

Shady defendant.

That’s too greedy . So glad she won

Well the defendant cant get that McGriddle every morning for a month.

30 days notice for raising rent is ridiculous! Where I am it has to be done 3 months ahead. That way if its a ridiculous amount and a person cannot afford it, they have time to give the 30/60 day notice to vacate! On top of that, it has to be 3 months notice AFTER the new landlord takes over, not during closing! Jeesh!

Yoo, She got spanked 😂😂

Back in 2009, my rent went up by $400 which i couldn’t afford. That particular landlord was very evil. In fact there were a lot of negative reviews on different apartment websites because of her. She was gone not too long after I had left. She was a horrible dictator.

Doing what's right is always considered a problematic tenant simply because landlords want all that money, but they don't want the responsibility that comes with it.
