Skipping Out In The Middle of the Night 

She kept $8,000 for people who only lived there for 19 days but she still found it in her heart to sue them and demand more money. Since greed is rewarded by the system she thought she had a case, but sometimes justice prevails.

She was crazy for taking them to court! She could have kept the $8,000. and re-rented! Glad the defendant’s won.

She was given $8,000.00, got greedy and lost it, love it.

Lol that man was the only person I’ve seen in this show that understood that speaking out of turn would get you yelled at. Unfortunately he still got yelled at for trying to stop his wife from doing it 😂

I'd hate to sue someone and not only lose but have to pay them!!!

Seriously, no one should stay in a situation of disgusting sewage. I think the plaintiff got exactly what was coming to her.

How dare the plaintiff call them “deviant” in the end like that?! They’re not deviant for not wanting to live in sewer water

The minute the defendant said him and his 12 year old daughter have asthma, I knew the defendants won. Mold and back up sewage is horrible for anyone to breath in especially people who are asthmatic.

Plaintiff is disgusting. She wouldn’t have lived there a day! How dare she expect a family to put up with this situation!

I like how the judge stood up for the wife

The nerve of her to sue them. I think this is her first foray into being a landlord but it doesn’t seem like she learned anything.

You have to have respiratory problems such as asthma, copd, allergies etc to understand the emergency nature of the situation for them.

You have to replace the carpet once sewage touches it and the drywall . Everything it touches should be torn out

This is what happens when all you see is greed. The audacity to expect them to pay more money when they had to deal with that mess for 19 days smh

How was three days at a hotel unreasonable??? The place was covered in sewage. It would take more than one day to clean it up. JM doesn't always make sense to me. If I had just moved into a place and this happened, it would absolutely be up to the landlord to pay for my hotel stay until everything was fixed! Not to mention this guy has a wife and two children!

She inherited a house and made $8000 off people who only stayed there 19 days and that wasn't enough.

Imagine going to sue and losing having to pay 5,000 back 😂😂

I don't think the renters are in the wrong here, I am a landlord. I had this problem and my tenants as they called me twice a year for plumbing problems. This was tree roots that were blocking the pipes. After twice I had the trees taken down, and have not had the problem since. My tenants are happy and so am I. While the trees were removed they also found a big knot of limbs in the sewer, a gap under the driveway that had to be filled with cement, the entire thing cost me over $5,000.00, it was well worth it to be able to keep renting the property and have great tenants.

They were gonna eat that $8,000 and she STILL sued?! Wow.

I love it when you sue and end up paying big time. The plaintiff was very greedy.

"There's a fungus amongus", how original!!!

What world does the judge live in where there are shelters for people who are disputing a lease agreement???

Nice landlord tenant case. They didn’t have to stay as long as they did. The lease IS a legally binding agreement but by not providing an appropriate living facility she violated that lease (she tried to correct it but failed) .

I LOVE this outcome!!! She has some nerve.

I can't believe SHE sued THEM 🤦🏽‍♀️ That's what she gets 😂

Wore her best red suit to waste the court’s time.

Damn she took them to court and now has to pay them 5k. Shows where greed can get you!

What an insult from the judge, assuming they were excited about finding the mold so that they can move into a different place. Also.. I think the guy may have understood not to talk out of turn & that’s why he was trying to stop his wife from doing so.. then he still gets yelled at. 😅

I love Judge Milian.. very fair and equitable. Her hair color was awesome too. 🤗

I'd never rent anything without seeing it first. Mistake #1

Bruh she made bank for them living there for 19 days and she got basically $8000 💀💀💀 and now she has to give money back smh

Some landlords see renters as suckers, once they know you have some money they demand that you live in their place forever, so they don't have to bother with taking someone with fewer finances. She couldn't find people as rich as them so she sued them. Like the wife said it's the sin of too much greed. Some landlords will sue even if someone moves in.

At the end: the plaintiff would rather say that they were wrong for leaving rather than have 8000 dollars😳………the fact that it’s still. It rented to that day says a lot in that people have been coming by to see if and been like, hell nahhh we good! 😆😆🤦🏽‍♂️

The plaintiff is very foolish. smh

Cruella Deville was my first thought of the plaintiff! Funny how the case turned bad for her just like in the Disney movie. Sweet justice

8000$ for 19 days stay was a deal. Her greed got to her lol dummy now look at you about to pay them 5K when you came to sue them.

I'm glad they won! Plaintiff was a con woman, shame on her. I thought the judge was way to easy on her. Can you imagine the judge living in that situation....

How does the judge know they was happy to get out of the lease. She doesn’t and she probably wrong. When u move to a new area it could easily take 6 months to get a feel for area to decide where you want to buy your home and have time to negotiate a fair price on home without being over the barrel on price and location.

Lol good for the defendants. 8 thousand for 19 days and you still sued.... she's not in her right mind

She should have never rented out that place knowing about the sewage issue!! She should have kept the 8,000 and called it a day!

Imagine suing someone and having to pay them 5k 🤣! If he hadn’t been greedy she could have just walked away with their 8k and been a happy camper. Dummy!

If she would of left it alone and took the 8,000 she would of came out on top. Now she owe the defendants 😆

Hahahahahahahahahah I’m literally dying. She says I’m still glad it was heard 😂😂😂😂😂 bet she doesn’t still feel this way now that it’s been heard and absolutely NO ONE agrees with her!! 😂😂😂😂😂

How is the plaintiff suprised and disappointed at the end? She's Hella greedy!!!! 8000 for 19 days??!!! Smh I'm HAPPY they won! Write them that check!

I was a landlord for awhile before selling my properties in 2020. We had a property that was a very nice one but the sewer backed up (trees the city hadn't maintained grew into the drains) I heard it about and within in an hour had offered them 1. 3 days in a hotel to figure out what it would take to the do job, (takes the immediate pressure off of everyone) and 2. scheduled with roto-rooter to come in and inspect the next morning. the next morning they told me I would need a whole new main drain to the tune of $9,500. The lead time on service would be two weeks from then. I offered an additional 2 weeks in the hotel at my cost or they could break the lease and I would give them $1,500 to move immediately. they took the 2 weeks in the hotel but would only let me pay for one week because they didn't feel it was "fair" for both of us. They were the best tenants ever! the re-signed the lease, I took less by $50 to have them re-sign the following year the neighbors house was shot up by some disgruntled neighbor and several bullets hit their car/my living room. the police were there all night and I spoke with the officers on scene about 3am. I asked the tenants if they were wanting a hotel that night or what? they said the police are still in our living room so there will be no sleeping tonight. I gave them another week in hotel and gave them the entire last month rent that they had paid (this was on the 26th of the month) plus they had already paid the following month and their security deposit. I gave them that back immediately. I offered to allow them to "break" the lease, or rather I told them I would not enforce the lease and do not care the condition of the house as long as they were safe. they took me up on the week in a hotel and they officially moved at the end of the month to a new one. I gave them a letter of recommendation and explained the prior incidents and suggested ANY potential landlord should call me personally and gave them my cell phone number and private facebook account so that they could get whatever house they wanted. All that to say this... This landlord is a complete scum who didn't have the money to pay for roto-rooter re-piping her entire drainline and that's what it needed. This landlord would've known that previously because they just don't all of a sudden get backed up and she tried to re-rent the house to someone else knowing the condition of it. there is no way to get the stink out of the house and I am sure that she did not have water back up for the house. the whole basement would need to be remediated and cleaned thoroughly.

I myself am asthmatic. My home had a leak, flood..1st floor, opened walls, found mold from previous occupant. Did mold remediation..got an all clear report, came home after a month, still got sick, from what I don't know as I was running HEPA filtered fan. Went to Urgent care, then ER 5 days later was kept overnight, having 6 breathing treatments, then on steroids for 3 weeks. Insurance had to pay for me to live at a hotel for 3 weeks while they fixed my home. I couldnt live in it while they were working on it. It was imperative they leave. I'm surprised they stayed 19 days! I don't agree with the judges perception that they were saying Yahoo..were buying a house..like they were being 2 faced. Think they had to act quickly, and yes, I think they deserve their deposit back plus extra for lost property and for the hassle, so pain and suffering..

I love when the plaintiffs have to pay😂

Plaintiff is a ghoul. She should not have gotten greedy. And at the end she was just doubling down. Rip off artist.

What a greedy woman. I've experienced sewage water in the basement and the smell is horrendous. It's a nightmare to live in. And she mentioned the lease being a legal contract but as a landlord, the law states she must provide livable conditions and while the smell may not be considered unlivable (it should because it's unbearable) mold is extremely dangerous. And the mere fact mold was present tells me this was a long standing issue. It takes time for mold to form to the degree of causing breathing issues.

Thank God for awesome landlords. Our house did this less than a week after we moved in and it rained and it flooded the street and everyone's poo came up through the drain in our basement and they immediately remedied it AND offered to pay for all the laundry to be cleaned, took all the garbage, and had the basement professionally sanitized and dried with commercial dryers!

Your legal contract is ONLY binding if you can provide a habitable place. And you didn't do that. You should have had a full inspection BEFORE renting it out. This wasn't a problem you weren't aware of.

Landlord still came out on top. Total deposit was $7,950. The defendants got a $5k judgment, minus $170. The Plantiff walked away with a little over $3k. Smh

Am I the only way that gets a giggle out of the name they give the cases? “A fungus among us” for this one 😆

I absolutely love to see greedy people have no pay for the greed

Yes the lease is a legal document but that lease does not give you the right to break the law and violate people's rights. When you do that the lease is void.

I love this episode!!! It's old, but is a great one!!

This was my all time favorite case and it just popped up pm my feed I love it! BABYYYYYYYYYYY when she szif "you shoulda took the deal" and BAM they defendants got ALL they coins back!!!! So smart to counter! She didn't get nothing!!!! Proof you never know how the tides will flow. STOP BEING GREEDY!

I imagine the judge hits her husband like that all the time

She's INSANE. The house wasn't livable. Ma'am, YOU broke the contract. YOU broke the least.

I always love how the plaintiff and /or the defendant stare down the other side. They are just trying to intimidate them.

Most amazing judge ever.

This woman should not be in the landlord business. She has no clue.

I bet this old bitty regrets suing this defendant . He was willing to just walk away leaving her with 8000 dollars for living in the house 19 days and she was so damn greedy that she thought she could get more money from him. She got what she deserved!!! LMAO!!!

the plaintiff sure didn't get it, should've just left well enough alone greedya**

She didnt learn tenant landlord law. Sewage flooding and black mold can void a lease.

Damn she should've never bought them to court

Clearly, neither of them had money issues. Respect they chose their well-being over money.

The plaintiff still doesn't get it. She said she wouldn't do it differently.! $5,000.00 pay the defendant. 🤭

OMG we needed Doug on this one. He was have been a savage 😆

It's sad that you have to have asthma to prove that open sewage is not acceptable.

Love this channel!

Warranty of habitability. Thanks Harvey. Learn something everyday

No1 has 2 live with mold! Quick story! My wife is allergic 2 mold. She was sent on a vacation by an allergist b/c he felt she may be stressed alongside of being allergic 2 mold and cat and dog in which we’ve had 4 6 yrs. Needless 2 say, he was a COOK and had EVERYTHING wrong! But my wife went 2 Miami Fl. And stayed in a 5 ⭐️ luxury resort that had black mold on a vent in bathroom. They moved her room a couple days later, but I told her 2 get a refund! They’re dead wrong. They didn’t wanna refund her n we’re trying 2 get her 2 sign something. She signed NOTHING, and was able 2 get a refund through whatever travel ap or agency she used. I was encouraging her 2 sue b/c according 2 the cook allergist, she was allergic 2 mold and she did break out in hives while there. However, after visiting with a different allergist, we figured out what her problem REALLY WAS! And it had nothing 2 do with mold or pets! Judge Millian got this 1 💯% right!!!

The plaintiff’s greed was her downfall! 8k for 19 days.. I don’t believe she was trying to find tenants and turned down applicants based on credit. She was trying to have her cake and eat it too! 🤦🏾‍♀️😒

Wow, the losing Plaintiff after the verdict: "I think what they did wasn't right 😓😡" Lady, your tenants were living with black mold and sewage that backed up more than once; the dad and a kid had asthma on top of it.... And this was all within 19 days. Got to keep $8,000 in rent for 19 days of stay, but wanted payment for the full lease because the Defendants "just left". 🙄 Just like someone else: I don't think she learned a thing.

Wow, being over-the-top greedy backfired in an epic way...What was she thinking?!

the plaintiff is crazy lmao why is she looking at him like that in the beginning

"The lease is a legal document", lady where does it say in your lease that your tenants have to live in the stench of back up sewage?

The defendants should have the right to leave. This is not a problem that could be fix within a few days, and given that they have allergies, it's either they go live somewhere else and not pay rent until the problem is fix or they can back out of their contract.

The ending..when she literally thought she was winning.

I did mold remediation for a few years. It is not joke. I was in one house where roof leaks had caused mold in PLASTER walls. The elderly lady asked if I wanted to sit down and I declined. The house was so clammy and moist that I couldn't bring myself to sit on her furniture.

What an old mole , she was up 8k and now has to hand over 5k and all in the hope to get 1 more months rent lol 😂

She got her Karma . ' GREED the Root of All Evil '

I really understand what they went through. It happened to me. I didn't get a penny for things we lost.

Why was the landlord starting at the defendant like that? 😂 chile..

Wow the wife seemed terrified of her husband. Damn.

I never rent apartments to people who cant see it before renting. No matter how much they plead or how much they claim they have a friend they trust they can send someone to see it or whatever. I NEVER RENT APARTMENTS TO PEOPLE WHO CANT SEE IT BEFORE RENTING

The landlord just wanted more money. She's greedy.

Woo new episode!

I’m so glad the defendants got their money back. The plaintiffs was a greedy woman and she was wrong to sue.

If the most she could have won was $5000 but the defendant wanted to let her keep $8000. Why even come to court??

Roto rooter will do the abatement and repair when a place floods. Had it done in my rental house when sewer backed up. Very convenient and reasonably priced.

She was already paid 8000 dollars for 19 days and demanded more. Luckily she should pay 5000 dollars. That's justice.

I bet she regrets bringing them to court!😅 -$5,000 oh boy!

That’s what you get for greed.

Hahaha what a fool! Got to keep free money and wanted more 🙄 she look like she don't even got that many years left to go, what's she gonna do with money anyways 😬🤣

Disgusting! I can't believe the plaintiff sued them. They are right, she is greedy.

The plaintiff was greedy that is the sum of it.

Warranty of Habitability, I learned something today.

Remediation? The fact that there was mold, sewage and water? This is a HUGE problem and takes time to remediate. The defendants had every right to leave!!!! I have dealt with water flooding, it’s awful and takes weeks to fix. The plaintiff is so ignorant of her rights as a landlord when you are renting a home that wasn’t liveable.
