No Key No Money 

No overnight guests? Like not even one night? Sounds like an awful place to live.

How TF did they assume he was trying to move someone in. I wouldn't want to rent from her any way

So we just gloss over what the son texted him. Hmm seems like harassment to me. What a horrible landlord.

He may have lost $350 but gained a lot back in dodging that bad land lord situation.

I don’t agree with this verdict. She gave him 3 days notice to move out and just trusted the roommate with no proof. This is BS.

The landlord is wrong for evicting the plaintiff based off of someone else’s word ( no proof). Also, how you gone tell grown ups they can’t have overnight guests without asking the landlord’s permission 😒

It's stupid to rent a place from a landlord with a rule that prohibits overnight guests without the landlord's permission.

The roommate set him up to get his own friend in

Just because they return the key, doesn’t mean they don’t have a spare.

what about only giving three days notice to vacate, I thought it had to be 30days.

What PROOF did she have besides NONE !

Yeah, he forgot to give the key but that doesn’t cost 350 the fuck

I hate when older people pretend they have never been young and want to be upset when younger people are learning life

Ok JM… thats crazy. U didn’t even take into account the texts?!? I don’t agree!!!😮

So the plaintiff didn’t get his deposit back , they had no evidence he was moving someone in, they didn’t give proper notice, really bad landlords, I hope the other guy stitches them up. Nasty , this wasn’t a balanced hearing.

Unbelievable ! The lady seems nosey and I bet her grown son didn't have to ask her for permission to have overnight guests over when he was there. Smh🙄

There is no way I’d live somewhere that dictates who I have in a place I pay rent. That’s my home. There should not be any way a landlord can tell you who you have in your home, how long they are in ky home or when they are in my home. That’s complete bs.

Changing a lock is not 350

Bullcrap. It's a cost of doing business. Everytime a renter leaves the owner CHANGES THE LOCKS.

Wtf he didn’t even have the guest and the roommate basically lied to clearly get someone else there and he takes all the bs smfh come on judge

Uhm, keys can be copied 🤦🏼‍♀️ just giving them back doesn't mean they don't have another one.

He dodged a bullet on this one. That grumpy old lady would’ve kicked him out for anything….and to deal with the son would’ve been an issue.

The Landlord was just mad she wasnt getting her old oil change😂😂😂😂😂😂

How the hell do you give a few days of notice....AM I MISSING SOMETHING. Did Judge forget that part?

The landlord is a scam artist. Wow.

Seems like the roommate lied so he could get the plaintiff out and then 350 to change a lock......50 bucks and it's done.

They should change the lock anyhow. Anyone can make a copy of a key. It’s dangerous.

The landlady seems to have taken the room mates word as gospel. Maybe he just wanted one of his friends to move in and made the whole thing up.

Where is the Roommate & Son aka Manager🧐

Hope he found a better place to stay

Landlords need to change the locks after each tenant with no replacement fees

Kinda weird for them to monitor the overnight guest situation.

The defendant is shady

I'm not mad at her about the fear of 'Squatters Rights'. This country has stripped homeowners of their rights so they have to protect themselves and the property they worked hard for or inherited. The Law sure won't.

The judge did horrible in this case. She just took the land lady's word for it. She didn't ask why the son or roommate wasn't in court, no affidavits from the son and roommate. The landlady proved nothing and still won because she played the sweet old role and the judge bought it. Why not always change the locks after each tenant? These cosplay landlords are something else.

She should have changed the locks anyway. $350 is ridiculous

I'm confused because plenty of times, JM didn't award money for the change of locks. She would always say, " It's a good idea to change the locks, but that shouldn't cost the other person"

Why is no overnight guests even in a lease for GROWN Adults?!?

This was the most confusing case.. So she didnt have to give him 30 days notice to vacate?? She assumed he was trying to move someone in? The judge didnt ask for ANY proof of this alleged overnight guest. This landlord is a paranoid control freak. She probably has cameras in the apartments. I think the roomate plotted to get him out.

I wouldn't rent anywhere if i can't have anyone over not even a single night per week

I keep a spare set of keys period,DUH who dont?

He didn’t seem like a bad person

I think the other roommate was the one actually trying to move someone in that’s why he made up that story and stayed then got a new roommate

The locks are supposed to be changed anyway. The roommate coukd have easily let him in...OR He could have got Copy of the KEY..

A 3-day notice and 5 days to move out and return the keys??? That’s not enough time to pack everything he’d just setup in his new apartment, arrange for someone to help him move, find a new place. I’m really surprised that JMM focused on the keys as the only issue, but didn’t explore other aspects of the case. Like, did she even check the lease to see if that short timeline was written into it? There was a lot of shadiness in this case. Either the landlady and son realized he’s gay and were discriminating against him. Or the roommate lied on him to get him out. Something. 🤔

The Old Lady Is A Scammer..!! She should have gotten her Scammer Son to change the locks..!

I have heard jm say in pre ious cases that the landlord would have to change the lock anyway but now is different 🤔

Id NEVER move in a place that asks me to tell them when i have overnight guest, im a rent paying tenant i can have guest if i wany within reason.

7:14 🙄🙄🙄 this judge I tell you…. Please tell me where she got “a angry person” like what

Did anyone else notice how the defendant looked at the plantiff at one point during time he was talking to the judge? It was obvious she didn’t like him at all. If I were him I’d just be so glad to have gotten out of that situation. She had it in for him. She looks like she could be a real piece of work & nasty to go with it!

WHAT? If the landlord has to give one month's notice, he was still the legal tenant and therefore had every right to hold on to the key, and since when does it cost $350 to change a lock? And everything the defendant said was hear-say she had no proof of anything she said about the emails, her son, nor about the other person he apparently wanted to move in, so SHE was in breach of the contract and should have had to return all his deposit, as it is her fault he had to move out so quickly and was not given the time to return the key. And why do landlords make such a big fuss about a key any way, it's not like the tenant can't make a copy. I would change the locks for every new tenant anyway...

He better be glad he got out with less headache than the 350 setting him back. That lady and her bully of a son are gonna be in for a rude awakening by the wrong tenant at the right time.

Smh I don't believe a word this woman says wish he would've sued for unlawful eviction so she would have to prove he had company and was going to move someone in JJ would've been all over this

Judge Milan got this wrong smh

Giving back the key is a moot point since the tenant can make a copy of the key. Seems like a landlord needs to rekey a house or an apt. every time someone leaves. $350 bucks is VERY high! I wonder why the roommate didn't talk to him before he tattled on him to that ridiculous landlord and her abusive manager son?

Very unprofessional, landlords.

What was the judge thinking she had a bad attitude towards the plaintiff, bad call

If her son is the one that did all this, then why the heck isn't he there? Sounds like a bunch of b.s. by the landlord.

He should of went to judge Judy 🤷🤦💁💁

What a horrible family. Talk about scammers.

The defendant sounds like the scammer. Plenty of times in other cases the Judge has ruled that a repair cost has been exorbitant. $350 for a lock change is ridiculous.

Dude should’ve just given back the key. I mean he really shouldn’t have moved out at all. He didn’t have sufficient notice. But he chose to move out, and keeping the key cost him.

So the property mgr son living upstairs , the same that used disgusting verbage, was the complainant?

350?? I once moved 2 hours away and didn't realise I hadn't handed over the old keys. I got charged $50

Why I didn’t know “The ppl’s Court” was on RU-vid 🤔 I immediately subscribed…. Love you Judge Milian ❤🎉

Come on. I've seen her tell landlords that's rificulous

Landlords should always have to change locks in between tenants. You never know who has made copies of their keys.

The plaintiff said the roommate had a overnight guest, and then the landlord said the room mate got a tenant lol helllloooooooooo

The roommate said the plaintiff had an overnight guest. Maybe the roommate wanted to get rid of the plaintiff?

he shouldve sued for moving expenses... why did he move with 3 day notice !!

That is a Caribbean landlord. They are mostly dictators. LOL!

No overnight guests is wild af. This woman is on a power trip.

If I look at a lease and a landlord says I can't have somebody spend the night without getting in touch with management first. I'm not moving into that place whatsoever. I'm running!! Type of crap is that.

Honestly after warching over 50 of her cases i can say from my point of view shes a bad judges. She doesnt base her verdicts on fact but on how she feels on the moment

If I’m paying rent i can have overnight guests

the woman walked in as if she was there to play bingo

JM was wrong. Charged to much to change the lock.

This lady is crazy 🤪

He made it easy for the LL. She asked him to leave and he did, she didn't change the lock or throw his belongings out. Too bad he didn't return the keys.

The landlord giving permission for someone to stay the night won’t stop a guest from doing the same thing she is trying to prevent

She worry about a key but that was illegal to put him out in 3 day and $350 are you serious I'm glad this show is off she needs to be off the bench she put him out you have to get out in 30 days what part in NYC they let you out in 3 day and not go to court

Landlord frm the Caribbean.. She traumatized 😂

Why his roommate snitch on him, maybe they wanted him out.

I’m not calling my landlord to have somebody stay the night

She sounds like a nutcase, and the son is a coward for not showing up to “support” her since he had so much to say over text. He dodged a bullet by not staying in her place.

I live in Miami super pricey, but 300 seems I don’t know for changing the key. I know some locksmith that will come and change your locks for about $50-$75.

It’s crazy that JM would suggest that the key should just be left behind with the roommate or under a mat. I would not want to leave the key with anyone (other than in person with the landlord or manager) nor would I just leave it in the apartment or under any mat. Once you do that you have no control over where the key ends up. It could be picked up by anyone who happens to find it. What if someone used it to break in to the rental and they hurt someone, stole stuff or vandalized the place? Then they’d try to hold the plaintiff responsible, and how would he prove his innocence? If he left it with the roommate how does he know if the roommate will be responsible and return it? Maybe he’d lose it, or just keep it to cause trouble for the plaintiff (it sounds like they were not on great terms). Putting it through the mail slot isn’t smart either. It could be overlooked and kicked underneath the furniture accidentally. Again, plaintiff would have no proof in any of these situations. It would just be his word against theirs. Plus, as was mentioned in at least one other comment so far: how do you know that the tenant didn’t have a copy made? Whenever you’ve had a renter, or anyone who held onto a key for any length of time, the only smart thing to do is to change the locks. I feel bad for the guy because I think the landlord treated him unfairly. Plus he seems a little unsophisticated, didn’t describe his situation in the clearest way. But the silver lining is that he is lucky that she’s no longer his landlord. She was difficult and it probably would’ve gotten worse.

He seems like a nice guy. He shouldn't have to pay $350.. crazy landlord

oh he gagged doug

Crazy Lady and her son! Thats crazy!!

Squatters no More!!!! 👍😂😂. Smart Lady!!!

It does not cost $350 bucks to change locks.

Was that 3 day notice legal??

This why i dont rent from old people or island people

Are you kidding nobody pays $350 wow

I 100% agree with that rule, given all the squatters nonsense going on; but especially if you're living in the same home as the tenant. There's myriad of things that can go wrong, having random people in and out of your home without your knowledge. I did this with my condo once, and I'll never do it again.

Say this young man went out with a friend and they were too tired to drive back…. This is crazy! Glad he left

I feel like the landlord/current tenant//son we’re in on a hustle to get him out. The way she bragged about the current tenant proved it. Also, her son managing her place is a liability for her the way he spoke to that dude, who actually LEFT when asked w/o being a jerk about it. Someone else in the comments said it best, he dodged a whole freight train not living there for long.

Why did nothing get said about the threats from the son

Nobody is gonna tell me I can’t have overnight guest and I’m paying rent lol. Idc who owns the property, that’s insane
