Being Tough on a Tenant 

I love it. It's court. He asked a legitimate question.

@@phylisswright4847 You can tell he caught her off guard lol

He does🤣

Doug has zero fucks to give!!! I love him. 😂

@@talltalllady *caught* her off guard

I fully endorse this! Love Doug 😂😂😂😂😂

I’m here for that 😂😂😂.i can’t wait until the end of each case to see him make everyone feel uncomfortable 😂😂😂

For real 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

I LOVE WHEN THEY JUST WALK AWAY!

I agree. 😂

Say it again! Trust and believe times are changing. As ppl are scammed by relatives (ie using children's social security numbers for phones and whatever else).

If he’s a smart man, he won’t let that happen. If she doesn’t pay one month, he’ll be smart and cut that shit off.

No, this is where personal responsibility comes in. All he has to do is make sure he logs in online or an app and confirms she paid the bill each month. He can cut it off at anytime.

Exactly! Judge acts like she’s so poor and struggling…🤷‍♀️

Not for aggravation tho

@@mchowderz The judge has zero aggravation! (she loves what she’s doing).

I left for the day that a Litigant responds to her question and says exactly that “the network plays you millions”

@@tonilee2868 Yup! Same here…

Absolutely agree . She must had already asked about including the light bill to the rent and had to tell her what happened with her past light bill and the landlord didn’t wanna rent to her after that in must of made a big deal about no one else’s name can be on the light bill but who’s on the lease

Actually the electric company in my town requires a lease in my name as well. Most utility companies ask for this (Sarasota FL). The lease would have to be in HIS name

Because the landlord would have had to provide a lease saying he was on the lease thats why she kept saying it was fraudulent

He is. I'm surprised no one has punched him yet. Lol

That's why he is in a Weird Al Yankovic video...

He's going to meet someone’s👊🏾 one day😂

*chefs kiss* to dougs savagery

Which one babs?​@@BabbleOn777

The point is... she gets paid to do her job... not pain and suffering for aggravation. Duh 😂

You’re jealous because you’re broke?

I mean, it could be a legitimate excuse. If the spouse died or left them cold and dry with no money or child support, it could only make it harder for them to pay the bills. I can't believe you wouldn't know this already.

I don't understand why people have children and can't afford them. That should be a requirement before populating.

😂😂

​@@TheAmber1019pipe dreams; emotional needs; selfishness, etc. Her sentence of I'm a single mother of 4 was unbelievably depressing.

​@@KennuhWayne Exactly

It probably got that high because of fines. Electric companies wouldn't leave the power on for long enough time to get that high.

Just the opposite in MD . Pepco electric company will only turn on power only if your name is on the lease.

Well here Georgia power and all southern companies and the water company too you do and most places you do especially if you have an old bill. They want it paid not getting it in everybody else's name to keep from paying it judge got it dead wrong

Yeah some states you have to be on the least. I know in Georgia you have to had some other bill or mail in your name for the gas company.

Criminal... imagine you find out someone racked up THOUSANDS in your name on their electric bill. I know someone who's ex-girlfriend did that. He went to her house to confront her and it ended with police and everyone being arrested.

Where I live your name has to be on the lease. The land lord dodged a big problem. Single mom with 4 kids that don’t pay her bills. The perfect victim. If she got behind on her rent she would play every victim card she could.

Yeah me neither and I live in MA

Same in Florida

Same in NY and GA

Same in md

same in Wisconsin

Actually this isn't true. The judge was asking her for proof of what she was saying because she didn't believe what she was saying. A tenant can move into a house and never turn on the electricity if they want but once you deny them the ability to move in then you broke the contract and have to return their money

No the judge should have done her research on the case. And common sense the only reason the tenant asked the landlord was because she needed her to put him on the lease fraudulently smh

@@RitaCannon-ef2sg finally someone with common sense. Because why would I need to tell the landlord that. The girl needed the landlord to put the ex on the lease, I wish the son was listening carefully.

​@RitaCannon-ef2sg the judge isn't supposed to do any research. It is the litigants' responsibility to provide the proof of their claim.

@@RitaCannon-ef2sg Its not the judges job to prove your case for you. In this instance, I bet the research assistants that work for People's Court actually DID the research and found out there is no such requirement from the power company. The judge kept saying "can you prove it?" because she knows theres no such thing.

No, he just repeats the summation of her judgement.

Didn't seem like it.

He did disagree with her once about security deposits.

He didn’t disagree he agreed with her they both said it was no fraud for her stop the tendency aka pull the lease.

Hopefully old Harvey gets de-hired.

100% agree with everything you said!!

💯

Where I live in TX, the coop required me to go to the office and show proof of residence.

And you getting aggravated gets the traction the channel needs 👍

Nope in many states you can't. It's illegal.

​@@darling-niki8811not in Indiana

Only if you're a bum or tweaker

Well maybe I am wrong maybe it is illegal

@@tommykrynock you're not wrong, it just varies depending on your county.

Exactly!!!

You are wrong

That’s not every where. Especially not in Southern California, where I reside.

Not here either have to show a lease

Thats not true in all places or electric companies

Not here in az if you mess up the address that’s on you entirely same in Dallas.

@@francinec.4861 I've lived in LA and Palm Springs, never had to show any proof of residency , so not sure where in So Cal you live....

Yup. Good luck to her new landlord.

Not always true. Some people will prioritize their rent before their bills so atleast they will have a roof over their heads.

I agree to a point.....I was a property manager for years. I am also a renter. Yes, my rent was important, but the apartments I managed were all electric. You can't legally live there until the electricity is turned on PERIOD. I've had single moms have the electric in a family members name. While I have sympathy for them (I was a single mom too) having a $4k past due bill is a red flag. I had a family that was $8k behind in rent. The owner wanted to let them do a payment play......what a train wreck!! You will never be able to catch up because you're trying to pay off the back rent, while still having to pay your current rent. Plus, it affected the other tenants attitude about being late or short on their rent......"I'm only $400 short, and bill and wanda owe $8k!!"

But she was together with her husband then and clearly said he was the one responsible for payment and didn’t pay! How is that her problem now?

In that situation where for example a parent was going to be paying an older child's bill they would still want the bill in the person residing their name and then add the parent as a secondary so they could call and make payments on their behalf. There are utility companies out there who do require a lease if the person has an outstanding balance and then tries to put it in somebody else's name. Then there are actually utility companies who straight up require a lease at all to get Services turned on, every company is different.

Right

Not all utility companies ask for a lease some just want an address and a name and social.

Im in my 40s and lived in 3 states, never been asked for a lease to turn on electricity, gas or water.

WRONG!!!

@@fuller8705 thats true but the judge says its not a comma practice but it is on a lot of areas

Why are you that angry?

If the child is a minor then an outstanding bill from his childhood will not affect that child in adulthood because a minor child cannot ratify a contract due to age and therefore it is not legal.

​@@skeetsneufeld6305 What you are saying makes sense. However, I know from experience this is what used to happen. What you are failing to consider is that the vast majority of people having to put utilities in their children's names were poor. Often poor people don't have the money, resources, and/or intelligence necessary to fight large utility companies. Eventually those utility companies changed their policies to prohibit the use of children---most likely to limit losses. Furthermore, utility companies in California are always being sued to unethical and illegal acts.

Lmao funny asf you think that 😂

I agree !!!

Did you miss the part where she got divorced not too long ago? Or does that not fit your narrative?

she don't pay her bills everyday scam
