Landlord Claims Tenant Was Filthy! 

Well the room comes with everything tho....kitchen, living room, bathroom. And includes all utilities. It's like renting a 2bd room apt for 2k a month

Rents have gotten out of control nearly everywhere. We need rent control.

That's more than my mortgage.

She didn't care how much it cost she knew she wouldn't pay it anyway

That is a third of what a room costs in NYC.

I agree. There should've been a walkthrough with the tenant vacating the premises and the manager/ owner so that both parties can come to a consensus that the place was, in fact, clean or dirty.

The minute the defendant was proven to be a liar the case should have been called. You shouldn't have to go to court to get your security deposit back, and it calls into question everything the landlord said.

Justifying the story to fit their desire, which is a fictional portrayal of reality. That’s what I told our boys when they were kids and lying to me. It worked because it gave them just enough time to figure out what I was saying and what it meant before I brought the subject of the lie up. I caught them off guard every time!

Why would the plaintiff leave food lying around. By look of things, she was trying out for supersize me the sequel

@@philipposkasotis8658 I'm sure such a perfect specimen like yourself, healthy mind, body, spirit, soul, would understand nothing of what someone dealing with depression for example, leads the person depleted of energy to do very easy actions. You're perfection so, ya know, you just wouldn't understand. I'm sure you keep your home squeaky clean. Right? At all times. Anyone can just pop in and nothing will be out of place. Right? Of course. Such. Perfect.

Landlords seem to think security deposits are their profits. 3 landlords, 3 small claims , 3 wins. So many people don’t even bother to try to get their security back.

She was far too busy eating fast food

Yes but landlord made it seem like this her excuse on moving out. But yea fast food lingering leaves smell

Judging by her size and what she eats, I believe it.

I said that to when I first move out on my own, 2 weeks later 30 flies in the hpuse, fly eggs, maggots, maggots caccoon surround my bin, inside my bin and crawling around my bin, after that the bin area is high priority for me hahahaha

So none of you watched until the end? She did remove all the trash.

😂

Right why would she agree being a pig😂😂😂

She didn’t have time to take her trash out.

*Plaintiff

Cause she is hahahaha

Depends on location. It would cost higher in NYC or San Francisco

I agree,two hundred and fifty dollars a week is ridiculous.

Who are you suggesting is robbing who? The landlord can offer to rent at whatever they want, and the tenant can offer to pay whatever they want. The landlord offering a room for rent by any tenant at $10,000/mo, and the tenant offering to rent a room from any landlord for $10/mo does not mean that any tenant is required to accept the landlord’s rate, or that any landlord is required to accept the tenant’s rate. The landlord wants to charge as much as they can, and the tenant wants to pay as little as they can. There’s nothing remarkable or surprising about that. That’s a textbook arm’s length transaction.

@@davidb4113 your absolutely right.a landlord charges what he or she wants to.eleven yrs aga I worked at a place that was a restaurant and they rented rooms upstairs.the rent back then was $175 a week.and it went up every couple of months.i heard the man telling people that is what he wants for his rooms and anyone can move whenever they want to.

World wide, inflation is killing everyone. People are renting out balconies with no issue's

I don't have time to take out the trash, but I don't want to invite the rats neither. 😂

I have the time I’m just lazy.

It was all the way at the back. I mean come on... that is very difficult.

@@jacejohnson7113 Pigs are the only animal I know of that lives eats and shits in the same place

@@markbrandon7359🐷🐽🐖

​@@markbrandon7359 Maybe this tenant did too 😆 The pictures of her tenancy "during" were F gross 🤢

She left it clean

My parents had pigs and said that they actually have a separate space for each. So technically she is worse than a pig. I too remember pigs always eating in the front of the cage, sleeping to the right and doing business on the left.

trashy people thinks the world owes them something.

Not really. She shows video of the day she moved out. It doesn't look a nasty mess. The pictures shown of her room are before she moved out. Which is rude, because any sane person would clean up before the landlord will inspect and take pictures.

​@@KenyanBunnieIf the landlord was entering the room while thr plaintiff still lived there and didn't give 24 hour notice, the landlord can get into major trouble. It's sounding like the landlord was making reasons to keep the entire security deposit.

@@KenyanBunnie that’s my point. Nasty was the way she lived. Not the way she moved out! But maybe that’s just the norm for some. 🤷🏾‍♀️

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was thinking the same thing!

Cleaning the bathroom should be normal wear not 200$ to clean video shows it was fairly clean nothing a little scrubbing and cleaning for 30 mins

The landlord is lucky she got her to leave. I just had to clean up after a tenant who was evicted through the court system, and it took 2 people 2 days to clean ONE BEDROOM. 15 bags of garbage, rental of a commercial carpet shampooer, drug paraphernalia, chicken bones, dirt in the carpet. A landlord's nightmare.

@@shakirahgraham39 Legally, the landlord is supposed to give the renter 24 hour notice before entering the home/room.

@@mindimartian9821 Oh my goodness! That is terrible!

I wouldn't be participating in no housework or yard work, that's bananas!! They can afford to pay someone else to do that.

$750 in rent is thanks enough. I'm not reverting to being a teenager in someone's home

It's really just code for "I'm a pig".

Listen, I live alone in a small two bed one bath apartment, but when it comes down to cleaning it feels like an estate. I just manage to take out the trash when I leave for work.

“I did not have time to take the trash out…” sounds like a lazy slob excuse to me. MAKE TIME! 😖

The landlord was showing HOW SHE LIVED (illegally entering the room), *not* HOW SHE LEFT IT. Kind of misleading.

Not worth it 😅

It really is NOT WORTH IT unless you need the money. We've rented 3 bedrooms in a 7 bedroom house (for 10 years) and the tenants are a chore. One pulled a gun on us (and went to jail), one was a pig (court eviction), one was a bedwetter (in her 50's), one shoved me on the day he left. The rest have been normal and a pleasure.

Why would you want to give up your privacy? I could do the same, but my privacy is worth much more than that. I think you’d be sorry if you did.

There are too many crazies out there!

Don't do it. Everybody goes on about how landlords are scumbags and tenants are victims but the tables have very much turned. If you bring in tenants and they destroy the place you're more likely to get the shaft these days. The prospect of renting out property terrifies me, I'd only do it if I was filthy stinkin rich and could afford to occasionally take a hit, and if it wasn't in my personal home.

I disagree. She lived there like a slob. That’s nasty she can live in her own property that away not as a renter.

@@clasijasi So that makes it okay for the defendant to lie and gouge her tenants?

I agree I don’t like her she’s a liar

@@clasijasi WRONG. Defendant LIED and pretended that the photos of the garbage were accurate to being STILL INSIDE THE ROOM at the time of moving out. That's a lie.

You forgot to say “first bitches” lol

America is a huge country. Not the same.

@@Pa-we1lw But courts are local to counties, so no reason this couldn't be done in the US

They're eyebrows. 🤷‍♂️

@@janinecarson8380all eyebrows aren’t equal.

A librarian, perhaps? 🤔 😂

I sing that song three or four times a week as I gather up the trash and take it to the garage … but then I stop singing when I take it out to the the wheelie bin because I don’t want my neighbors to think I’m unhinged! 😂😂🗑️

@@ImOnAJourney I got old enough (73) to not care what neighbors think about me. It's quite a freeing feeling. One thing I did learn is that even when you think you may be committing a social faux pas, others sometimes enjoy that break from the regular boring stuff. It's true. So go ahead and sing. Or maybe begin with whistling to break them in. lol I whistle in the stores a lot. And I never wore those absurd masks, either. Kind of creepy that I was the only one. Oh well, have a good day.

Lol i sang it

@@mikeyh0 I’m the same age as you are, and I hear you about the not caring part!

@@ImOnAJourney I do care but only important things. What other people think is way down on that list. Just below who's going to win the Super Bowl in 2030. I remember when there was no Super Bowl. Seems I lived before a whole lot of stuff happened. You too, huh? Harry Truman was president when I was born. I told that to someone the other day and he looked at me and asked, "Who?"

Also, the defendant (Valerie Velardi) was Robin Williams’ first wife. For real!

So you actually don't believe the tenant then? And the metadata of the video would include the date it was recorded. If the plaintiff ONLY had the video uploaded to RU-vid I'd be suspicious. Didn't need to get into all of that for this case though, we're only talking about $500.

@@timothyhh sorry I misspoke, I believe the landlord

The thing about taking pictures and videos from your phone it states the time and date on it. Can’t cover that up

@@gloriabornn9232 yeah but we didn't see that part, what we and Judge Judy saw were the video that was clearly uploaded to RU-vid and that could have been the day she left after the place was clean, or the day she left before it was clean. We don't know for sure what day that video was first taken.

@@RomaroBrandon I would agree with you but even her friend that went in the house stated there was no garbage but it did smell bad in the room.

WRONG. You could NOT get a cleaning lady to come to the house for $50.

Reslly? You clean it then.

Hi Melodye!

@@timothyhh 👋🏼

I agree anywhere besides kitchen or dining room is just nasty that's what they are for

I found my landlord that way when I moved from one city to another. It was $400 bucks a month for a room and he never entered my space for any reason. I lived there for 7 years without any real issues. It also included washer/dryer and cable. I got very lucky.

Exactly, in other cases Judge Judy would say: ‘I don’t believe you.’ And it was evident after the video the tenant showed that she left the house in good order.’ And the concentration of bleach is way to high and toxic to use it ‘pure’. As a punishment because the landlord lied under oath Judge Judy should have lowered the expenses related to the bathroom cause it she lied about the trash how can we believe her regarding the bathroom?

$500 may not be a lot for you, but it maybe a lot to her. $500 is a full tank of gas and groceries.

She can buy a lot of McDonald’s with that $500

@@Luke-ly9qd😂 you stole my words. She looks well fed.

My next question would've been to ask if she still had the video on her phone.

Do unlisted videos even have time stamps?

BS

Not true.

False. I never had a security deposit kept when I rented. Not once.

🤣🤣🤣

That part!

Because when you're a homeowner/landlord, fixing stuff is your responsibility. But cleaning up an adult's filth is not

did it have its own bathroom ? and everything included we don't know the amenities that came with that 1000 or your 750

He was probably afraid to see all the cockroaches and other bugs, a case of ‘if I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist’.

And her pictures were only up close.
