Cutting Out a Middle Man 

who else puts on People’s court everyday while doing random tasks around the house lol

If he is a realtor, he fully knows that there needs to be a contract.

Why didn’t he have a contract? Kind of sketch imo

Damn the defendants wife is ANNOYING!!!!!’

Natasha I mean Natalia lmao

Broker is out of luck. He should have had an agency disclosure signed and commission agreement signed. I was a realtor in my for almost 8 years, it’s nasty. And you will encounter a lot of Ali, Mohammed, Singh, Patel, yusef, and etc, and everyone claims to be the owner and a lot of shell companies, companies with post box. People be careful

I'm not even sure if the defendants believe their own lies

Nice to see both parties know how to dress for court. It’s refreshing.

Lmfao the broker an the manager are sketchy as hell. Why wasn't there a contract??😂

It said, No Fee Rentals!!

Everyone can stop thinking the guy got his wife's name wrong! Natasha is a nickname for Natalya.

He's a sales rep that works on commissions but doesn't want to pay commissions himself 🤔

The plaintiff is well spoken and well organised the defendants are Ijust dodgy.

IF their telling the truth, I really hope they get revenge on this Ollie dude

So many of these cases involve people who seem to live on the edge of legitimacy, doing things with word-of-mouth with zero documentation (except some vaguely worded text messages).

The defendant didn’t know his wife’s name at first. Natasha was coming out of his mouth

I think he got it from "Ali" and since there's "no proof" he went after the tenants to get double paid

Rolled his eyes when judge said " no you don't get double your money"

I can’t stand when they stand there and read from a paper. They wrote down what to say and it sounds so fake.

When she said “OLLIE OLLIE UMPHREYY.” I lost it!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

4:48 He got his own wife's name wrong...yikes!

Im surprised at the verdict considering there was no contact

He literally started to call his wife Natasha instead of Natalia. What's up with that??

If you're doing business for more that a couple hundred dollars, there should be a contract.

The Plaintiff is pissed.

I even put my phone in my pocket and listen to it.

No written commission agreement, no commission. How did he win?

I disagree with the judge on this one I completely believe the defendants when they say that they were told that the property management would pay the fee, I know the plaintiff had the text from the defendant but the way it was worded to me sounded like the defendant was trying to get a clear answer on if there would be a fee.

They're coming for you Ali 🤨

What do brokers do? I understand realtors when you are buying a home but just showing someone an apartment to rent is worth thousands of dollars? It sounds like a scam.

Didn't have a commission agreement? Sounds like they really did lure them in

defendant says he works on commission but wants to stiff the real estate broker? Wow! His morals are a bit bent. Plaintiff should have a contract. Who doesn’t do that?

Good for washing dishes. Just prop the phone up or lay it down to just listen.

He really called his wife Natasha 😂

Um, how did he mess up his wife's name? I can't believe Judge Milian glanced over that!😳

It’s unethical, but there is no contract! Do you pay everyone who you promise to work with?

Right here!! 😂😂

I have a feeling that quite a few people add information to make the situation sound worse than it was.

I have always had a contract for EVERYTHING. My son's engine in his car blew up and I had a nice spare car. I said, "I'll sell you this car at a fair price if you'll just sign the contract." He looked at it and said, "Dad it say's $1?" I said, "Sign it or I can get a lot more" LOL He did and started crying with appreciation. More of the story he had to have a contract bill of sale for a tag and I make contracts for everything.

In Massachusetts - there’s something called a disclosure form. It discloses that the client understands that the agent is working on their behalf and will be paid by the client, regardless if there’s a sale or not. It’s the FIRST thing an agent does! I’m surprised that in the state of New York, that it’s not legally required. I don’t think the broker should have won.

Broker fee is an useless fee, it’s a way to steal from tenants.

The broker should of had it in writing no contract, no agreement to pay for fees and ect

The defendant's wife lays out his clothes for him every morning.

No contract no fee …

As a New Yorker “no fee” apartment means you don’t pay any money for upkeep of the common area

They scammed the rarealtor. But got away with it because the realtor did not bother to get a signed contract it’s immoral but it’s legal

Never loan money that you aren't prepared to see again.

Did anyone notice how the defendant held the "gate" for the woman he was with. GENTLEMEN

He should have had a contract. They need to sue Ali for giving them false hope, although I don't know why they would think that the manager would pay the fee. It is obvious he lied to them and then brought up the fee later.

Oh my gosh! The woman with the accent never stops talking while everyone else is talking!U

We don't accept table abuse in this court, don't slap your table.

The plaintiff is greedy.

Bottom line. Verbal contract with proof. Pay the man! You tried to get over, it was wrong! Pay the man!

Plaintiff looking down at his script too often. Shoulda had the long bs story memorized.

Natasha seems to be the one making the decisions.

Hurst he got his money

Oh my gosh the plaintiff is making the story so long it's taking forever to tell the damn story!

people gotta be making all money in new york with that broker crap. i can see why people be staying in illegal apartments

I’m confused as to why sometimes text messages aren’t viewed as a contract, but man the defendants wife is annoying and should lose as it’s all messy

But judge why was it listed as “no fee” that’s the part that makes the defendants wife explanation plausible……

@5:45 wife interrupts with foolishness.

10 minutes in and the plaintiff is shady AF. Ali isn't there anymore...more lies. These people got scammed by the wanna-be gangster Ali and the plaintiff.

Before I hear the verdict my answer would be that technically there was no contract since there is no price set. Even if he said I supposed we have to pay you a commission that doesn't mean they agree to pay 5k. Now if he can prove that is what the would have gotten and told the guy it would be 5k then he is on the hook for paying. But I think with no fixed discussion of what the commission would be...There is no contract. What if the guy came in and said it was 50k? And what kind of professional...Especially in NY would not have a contract stating the terms of their deal?

How is she not going to question the fact the defendant got his own wife's name wrong 😳

I believe the defendants they have answers to all her questions

9:03 the guy in the brown ish shirt with the blue strings/earbuds around his neck like above the defendants wife's left shoulder... does he keep falling asleep? he talks/mouths to someone off screen.. i'm assuming with someone who works for the show and they asked if hes ok... anyone else notice this?

3:22 why do that?? So rude 😐

that women is annoyinggggggg

I kind of believe the defendant. If there’s no contract between the broker and the potential tenant, they shouldn’t be able to collect two or three months in advance for a brokers fee once they moved in . Sounds sketchy to me.

Was the defendant his client or the landlord?

OK WELL AFTER LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE CASE HONESTLY I DO BELIEVE BOTH SIDE THE DEFENDANTS WERE BROUGHT IN UNDER FALSE PRETENSES THEY THOUGHT THEY THEY MIGHT HAVE TO PAY UNTIL MGN "SAID" WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM / IT. EITHER WAY I'M W/ THE PLAINTIFF I WOULDN'T CARE WHO PD JUST GIVE ME MY $$$$. I HOPE THAT THE DEFENDANTS SUED & WON TO BE REIMBURSED GOOD CASE

2500 for a day's work not bad

It's a good thing they work the shifts they do, else this would be divorce court instead of the peoples court. The defendants screwed up, but as for the plaintiff, I don't like him.

They stayed because thier. Landlord gave them a better deal

I don’t care.. dislike realtors and lawyers .. a bunch of arrogant self righteous liars who don’t even worth their salt .

First to comment. 🎉 yeah. Love this show. Miss it.

Who’s Natasha 🧐

Who's Natasha?👀

Alledegy

Doug is two faced.

Watch her FACE.. SHE WEARS HER !!!!! ON HER FACE. FUNNY HOW THE FACE WEARS HER ATTITUDE.

I'm sorry no disrespect to the lady not tryin to be really rude but the lady talk way to much😒😆

Wrong verdict. He should have had a contract.

People don't work for free

Justified verdict in my humble opinion..What the defendant's did was wrong..

Cuban judge haaaaas to interpt with OBVIOUS things throwing peoples thought process off

Plaintiff should sue the property mngmnt.

Damn the defendants wife is ANNOYING!!!!!’
