Rotten Renting 

Sometimes it's just best to cut your loses. The defendant was willing to cut the $350 she was out of until the plaintiff insisted upon a lawsuit. Plaintiff not only loses but now has to pay an extra $350. Dude should have let well enough be.

She actually dodged a bullet. If he was giving her problems before renting, he would’ve given her problems as a tenant.

man if a person has to pay you in installments for the deposit what makes your think you'll regularly get the rent?

Landlord dodged a bullet. He would've never paid rent on time.

The defendant was really trying to work with him because most landlords aren’t that patient with prospective tenants

Always funny when the plaintiff sues and lose and have to end up paying the defendant 😅

Anybody who has to "work out" how they're going to pay the deposit is very likely going to have to "work out" how to meet the rent every month.

When the plaintiff couldn't come up with the total security initially, she should have foreseen that he would be a problem.She tried working with him, but he dropped the ball. So many people have no clue as to what a security deposit entails.

It must suck to bring someone to court and turnaround look bad yourself!😅

He knew he was supposed to pay, he just was gonna make her fight for it instead of just doing the right thing!

She said he was working 60-70 hrs a week so it really surprised me that he would have trouble paying the $600 over the course of a couple months but that could indicate that he might also have trouble paying the $950 in rent at some point as well

Willy couldn't afford the place from the start and he knew it

She dodged a bullet by him not moving in.

He went to sue her then ended owing!

Legend has it, the plaintiff still doesn't understand

That request to make the deposit in installments would have been denied. He can't pay the deposit, then he most likely couldn't pay the rent.

The Plaintiff was a dead beat and now he has to pay the additional $350. Haha

Riddle me this: how do vast majority of litigants get through each & every day?? So lax, so non responsive THEN make demands they aren’t privy to per the law.🤷🤷🤷

If he didn't have all the money to begin with than she should've told him no period. 💯

Ppl are so quick to sue somebody while not thinking logically. He held her up from getting a another tenant.

If the Plaintiff listened instead of constantly rifling through his papers he would have understood why he lost(he kept repeating that he didn't understand after the verdict was rendered). If he had told her weeks earlier he couldn't come up with the money, she may have had time to rent out the unit. But, he ignored her until 2 days before the end of the month. His own procrastination in dealing with the situation made things worse for him and the Defendant was rightly awarded the 350 she was asking for.

Defendant dodged a none paying tenant

He wasn’t ready for that Apt anyway

11:36 Yeah I bet he is good with it since he didn't expect his text messages to come up in court 😂

I find it funny that almost every litigant tries to exit the wrong way. You would think the show would try to correct this. 😂

If he is struggling to pay a security deposit, he will struggle to pay rent. She should’ve thought that thru😂😂😂

He obviously couldn't afford it. She dodged that bullet.

Big win for the defendant. The plaintiff has a smooth brain

If he is working 70-80 hrs a week how can he not afford rent?!!

Dude both sounds and behaves, like he maybe on that stuff, SMH OTHERWISE WHY WOULD HE WASTE THE COURTS TIME THIS WAY 😡😡

He was having payment issues before he even moved in. That’s the biggest brightest red flag ever.

I love how she says thank you Douglas for every episode

I like how prepared the defendant was.

It sounds like this landlady is actually really nice and it sounds like she dodged a bullet with this one. If he was struggling just to get the deposit and the first months rent, he would've paid late or skipped payment altogether and he probably would've been one of those tenants that is a pain in the behind to get out through eviction and would have tied her up in court for months. He sounds like a total deadbeat if you ask me and if this guy is working 70 to 80 hours a week, how in the heck can he not afford $950 a month in rent? I only work a typical 40 hour week and I pay more than that and I'm a single mom of an almost teenager. Dude has to be spending his money on habits or something in order to not be able to afford that working as much as he does even if his job is minimum wage, it would have to be more than that once it hits over 40 hours if it's with one employer which it sounds like it is, which means that at 70 to 80 hours a week he probably makes at least what I do or more so I find it ridiculous that he couldn't get himself together.

Why can't some people learn to leave well enough alone!? Smh! Now, the plaintiff has to pay an extra $350, plus whatever he paid for court cost! Smh!

I think the peoples court is better than justice for the people

11:17 Plaintiff: Mmm-Hmm! 😂

I agreed with the defendant on this one the plaintiff is wrong on this one at the end business is business. The plaintiff should have not come to looking at a place till he had most of the money.

I'm very impressed with the Defendant's response to the Web site reference....

Why would a landlord even accept a person who cannot get the monies together? That's what he would be like during his tenency. Always late, juggling it all and expecting her to accept it. Rubbish.

The plaintiff kept saying he didn’t understand after the judge’s ruling. What’s not to understand when it’s basic math?!

There is no such word as "textes." It's texts. Plaintiff wasted the court's time. If the plaintiff can't understand JM's ruling then he's ignorant. If he needed a judge to explain it to him, that's stupidity.

The defendant went out of her way left and right up-and-down to try to accommodate this gentleman. And he did not come even close to holding up his end of the bargain.😡

The plaintiff is wrong...he knew he was wrong and still had the audacity to bring her to court.

80hr weeks and broke as a joke

This lady must really need a renter!!!! She went way pass her obligation as a landlord!! He was having problems before even moving in, he had financial hardship before he met the lady.

That sounds like way too much I would’ve just said no to all that mess

He broke as hell how your working 70-80 hours a week and can’t afford 200 a week smh

How can he work 70-80 hours a week and not have enough money to pay a deposit? Is this really the world we’re living in?

Nobody should have been awarded anything

Aww the defendants are matching lol

Lol he should've just stayed home

He kept saying i don't understand😅

Now he know damn well he wasn’t going to win🤦🏽‍♀️

If he can’t pay 600 over 3 months. He wasn’t going to pay that rent smh.

He can't afford the move in money then he can't afford the place She was so patient his biweekly payments turned out to be monthly. She gave him more time and he still couldn't make it right. She is lucky he didn't become a tenant. She was gonna end up in court for payments either way.

The plaintiff could have just gotten a free consultation from an attorney who would have told him to let things be and be thankful he wasn’t charged the full rent. Instead he came on national TV o look foolish smh

I am amazed he even works

The plaintiff is someone that makes a lot of bad decisions

WHY ARE THEY EVEN HERE HE DIDN'T / SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED ANYONE TO TELL HIS GROWN ASSSS TO PAY HIS BILLS & DEBITS. HE SHOULD'VE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE NOW HE HAS TO COME UP W/ $350. SHE WAS REALLY NICE

Lesson is ' Don't ever do someone a favour just because they know someone you know ' it always comes back to bite because anyone who Currys favour to achieve what they need is not standing on their own 2 feet.

The defendant’s fiancé was nervous because he knew if the defendant lost, it was going to be a long car ride home.

I miss judge M i hope she comes back ❤

He's not smart

No one gets a chance to pay security deposit “over time”. It’s upfront or nothing.

Another "should have been an email" case. How is he that stupid ?

This guy couldn't afford the apt. He started off paying installments. What is wrong with her?

The guy has no concept of what a deposit is about....or a contract.

He's a con artist.

Plantiff wanted to get his 15 mins of fame.

Works 70 hours a week and couldn't afford 950 as a deposit?!

If people were good their would be no court cases. It shows how selfish people are. We are fallen.

Αυτό είναι που λέμε "πήγε για μαλλί και βγήκε κουρεμένος " χαχαχαχ.

WhAt couldn’t the plaintiff understand smh

Cage.........? 😮

Did he sign a lease? When did the other tenants move? She's telling him he has no proof but what's hers besides a fiance who has reason to lie for her 🤔 she asked for nothing.

Judge always tryna intimidate somebody. Leave that woman witness alone. Nobody scared of all that loud talking and hot air. It's annoying AF

Plaintiff is a bold face liar

A mess 😂

3 minutes in and the plantiff is annoying!!

A quick check on a computer could have revealed this information to him. No need to show up on TV to embarrass yourself.

defendant is SNC, so i already dislike her.

The defendant has money problems She should quit smoking. She'll have a lot more in her bank account.

You think ur special and ur not!!! His fault....get out dude.

Milk Dud was fortunate to have a gracious landlord to live in the room, even though he didn't have enough money for the deposit. Broke a$$

Scammer

M

First

Grown adult. Child’s logic

😮plaintiff seems used to making his problems someone else's. 7:24 But let's finish, Let's shall?

Why. Do rules not apply to Blacks. Asking for a friend.

Sounds like he could do a great Denzel Washington impersonation

She should be glad she didn’t rent to him. Willie would have been a terrible tenant.

70-80 hours a week and he can't get 950$? Sounds like there is some addictions in there.

I would never let someone like the plaintiff slide in anyway on rent if I was a landlord. You will pay your rent on time or you're out, end of story. Pay your rent on time like the rest of us good, honest people!
