Taking an Advantage 

Dear plaintiff's girlfriend, you should not be laughing and smiling the whole case, he's bad news, run as far as you can.

The dad immediately popping up and offering to buy his son's neighbor a new mat rather than let his son resolve it proves his dad has probably been covering for him since he was little.

That’s what a spoiled adult looks like.

The son is basically 30yo, Dad needs to let him be a man and take accountability

That’s why this kid is the way he is… Daddy’s taking care of him

The dad seems like an enabler

Imagine being 28 and having your dad fight your battles

The girlfriend needs to give him back his glasses and tell him to find a life.

My son is 25 years old and he lives on his own pays his own bills. The only thing his mother and I do once in a while is to make an additional plate at dinner in case he comes by. I will never tell another parent how to raise their kids, but he's setting his son up for failure!

The dad is still speaking for his little boy even on the way out.

The FATHER is clueless.....and the apple doesn't fall far from the TREE

What in the "HE GROWN AS HELL" is going on here??!!! This ain't no kid, this a grown ass man child!!

I'm glad the judge told him that he has a serious problem, because he says that he was irate/frustrated/angry quite often as an excuse, as if it's an acceptable excuse. He's acting like a toddler who was irate because they got woken up out of a nap.

This clearly explains why the plaintiffs son acts so entitled because his father keeps paying his way instead of letting him find his own way. The son is extremely immature, behavior just sucked. I would have been pist with any of my children behaving like this

Girlfriend would be dodging a bullet if he would have eyes for someone else.

Judge Milan teaching the son about apartment maintainence the way his dad should've done🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

It's crazy to me how many landlords think that they get to keep the whole deposit if there even a penny in damage.

I've looked at apartments that had male tenants, and I have to say they were pretty disgusting. But they were young frat boys, not a 28 year-old man who's behaving like a spoiled, entitled kid.

Yes the girlfriend should be running! He cannot take care of a goldfish!

This plaintiffs son seems to not have grown up if he looks to cry to pappy to bail him out of the problems he creates.

And some people claim that kids are growing up so fast these days. Well, maybe in sexual matters but not in character. Girl friend sees Daddy's money.

His son is lucky to have a parent that helps him . Cause some parents might not after 18….

Not a very smart man if you can't even realize what type of son you have

Hilarious that plaintiff dad is calling the defendant petty when it sounds like having his son as a renter was a huge pain

For photo evidence, people need to take picture of both a close-up and a wider zoomed out pic to show the context.

That child with his daddy is a serious piece of work. Good luck to the world. So was this daddy's place or baby boys? One of thems

Dad didn't let the kid speak, neither did Doug. Doug is a gem.

Man I really hope that GF runs far away from that guy. He still acts like he's a teenager and he has to get his daddy to resolve his issues. If the dad takes his money away, I wonder if that would wake her up.

Very immature plaintiff, gf defending him and laughing through trial, dad covering for son

Good grief, parents let your near 30 year old children fly on their own. But I guess if they’ve been failing at being parents for nearly 30 years it’s not going to matter.

Dad is definitely babying his adult son

The son is a very immature 28 year old.

This guys an adult letting daddy pay for everything. Thats why he's so shocked when the judge asks him a question cuz he's never had to answer for anything...daddy does it all

That dad is enabling his GROWN son’s behavior.

Somehow that lady thinks that man child is a catch... he is not.

The apt manger is not too swift, because he should KNOW that as a mgr. you ALWAYS photograph the apartment BEFORE the tenant moves in. Then, when they move out you photo it AFTER, so you have BEFORE and AFTER photos as a record. So much time is wasted here on something that could been avoided had he taken both sets of photos. It would have made his case so much easier.

The son is not in college. He's a grown man & should act like one.

The landlord was definitely over charging I'm glad the judge made a fair ruling!!!! I need a dad like that rent is not cheap

12:20 As outrageous as those quotes sound it's becoming the norm! I got a bid a few months back to have my bathroom remodeled. We were supplying the new shower tube, vanity, and plumbing materials. Basically, we wanted the demo of the old cast iron tube, the surround, and removing the toilet just in case we decided to put down a new floor. He quoted us 8K for the work. The bathroom is 5' X 7' nothing special about it. The contractor quoted us $1,3000.00 to remove the cast iron tube and, a $170.00 dump fee. He charged us $270.00 for a vapor barrier (which is a piece of Visqueen on the front door of the bathroom), and he quoted us $2,200.00 for the plumbing trim. For all you who don't know that consists of installing all your plumbing fixtures, which would only be a shower. Basically every step on the demo we were charged an additional $170.00 dump fee. The rest of the bid was crazy! So, $25.00 to replace outlet covers is not a strange number. I know people who will not touch anything electrical and would pay someone to come to their home and replace an outlet cover. I would do it for $25.00 FYI I have the ability and resources to do the work myself, but didn't have the time. After that bid, I made time, and the whole thing from start to finish cost me $5K.

Son is a wuss. Still needs daddy to take care of things.

The loser son is probably living in daddy’s house right now don’t have have a job and daddy’s paying his bills

If the guy had to pay out over 300 bucks then he should be able to take that off the deposit. Ridiculous.

Daddy's paying for everything, so I don't care! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good morning all from sunny Melbourne, Australia.

What a big baby. What a turn off 🙄

Doug said “How’s he doing now” while he’s standing right there… catch the shade 😂💀

This guy is so used to daddy paying for everything. I got my first apartment at 22 by myself and paid my own rent and other bills. He's 28 and daddy is still paying for his apartment and fighting his battles. This guy needs to let his son stand on his own two feet.

Why would someone leave their belongings outside your door? 🤷🏽‍♀️

So when Brett tries to take of things himself, he turns nasty and leaves threatening notes on the bulletin boards or threatens the neighbors. The way he deals with things is so juvenile because Daddy takes care of all of his issues. Basic skills are learned/taught when you're a teenager, not when you are almost 30 years old. It's actually sad.

Plaintiff's son looks scary. His stare is unnerving. And the defendant looks like he lied about the repair rates to get a lil revenge on them both!😂

Dear Judge we ALLLLLLL know you come from a family of construction 🚧

whoever did daddy's boys' eyebrows must have done it on purpose 🤣

Daddys little boy thinks he can do anything he wants 🤦🏾‍♂️

If you look up “man child” in the dictionary, here is is…😢

Brett is a child. He will forever have people cleaning up his messes.

28 and having your father speak for you and behaving juvenile. Then that girlfriend smiling like a clown and she's about to be clowned by this clown

Uuuhhhmm...she CLAIMS to come from "a construction company"😮😅. Contractors DO charge outrageous amounts for things 😮

This dude 28 years old and Daddy still leasing his apartment, that tells you everything you need to know. Brett is a spoiled brat and his pops is an enabler.

Make yr son be responsible for his own crap, or he'll forever be a big baby.

Pathetic, daddy will always be bailing this guy out for the rest of his life and he'll never take responsibility for any trouble he gets himself into🙄🙄

Tell me you’re privileged without telling me you’re privileged

Dad needs to let his "little boy" grow up!!!

Oh, her construction family is also movers and master estimators. For how much moving costs? She's just a master of everything, isn't she? 😂

What’s with the father not letting his son learn about responsibility? A 28 yo not being able to rent an apartment, and getting involved in petty things by offering to pay for the mat his son’s dog pooped on, making excuses left and right instead of chastising his son for acting like an irresponsible teen, suing and enabling his adult son’s bad behavior? C’mon dad be a better father and role model. In the real world actions have consequences!

The dad is paying for his apartment so what does that tell you about the the plaintiff. He is a selfish rude pos. He definitely didn't respect or care about that apartment.

The plaintiff (son) is a real problem. He’s making a tough life for himself

Daddy never said “no”. Son is a spoiled brat and needs to grow up.

This guy is 28, why is his dad so involved in all these details? I get the father was a co-signer but the son needs to be more responsible in all of this.

I didn’t think the guys estimates were crazy. $25 to replace outlet covers? How is that jacking up the price or bloating the estimate? Yeah they cost 99 cents but you have to at least pay $20 for someone’s time. Jesus

Doug wanted to hear an answer he wanted to hear. And maybe what he wanted was the answer that came from HIS Young Adulthood The fact is, most of the younger people now are very simplistic of their rooms. They want this "aesthetic", and want minimal things possible. It's kind of good that most of them dropped the hoarder mentality that the older people had.

I'm getting "entitled little sh*t" vibes from the son

At 28 he has to have somebody hold his hand. That blank stare is not because of glasses. How entitled he is. He should be embarrassed. The defendant also should be ashamed for trying to rip them off.

The 27 year old BOY has hit his maturity max. SMH The boy need some Tuff Love by his Daddy…time to let Junior grow his own wings.

Given the neck tattoo on the little boy, I believe the Defendant.

I didn't think 25 bucks to replace multiple outlet covers was as excessive as JM made out!

Why are people so hell bent on saying why doesn't she just give him a dog since since she has so many? Because they're she hers, she doesn't want to and doesn't have to! What planet are yall on

Some of the stuff on the moulding is WEAR AND TEAR. A chair could bump a wall. A box could bump a moulding. Get real buddy.

Dad is the problem son will never take accountability with him covering all his tracks

Knew there would be an issue the moment i heard his name was Bret

Bret high on that Kisha 😂

I feel like she was overly hard on the defendant. The plaintiff (son) seems like he was an obnoxious tenant who behaved (and treated the apartment) like a child. Let the defendant inflate the prices a little to teach the plaintiff a lesson. All she did was show the plaintiff he can get away with acting like that. Poor judgement.

You almost 30 years old and your Diddy has to cosign for you to get an apartment? And you leave a note like an entitled teenager? Bruh!! I love my kids, but they got to get off my back and walk at some point. He might be someone's husband or dad one day and he can't take care of his business?

The problem is dad, is solving his “grown” sons problem 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

This is what happens, ladies and gentlemen, when you don't make your children take accountability themselves. You end up with a 28 year old man child.

The girlfriend needs to be aware The moment she has any problems with her boyfriend his dad is going to get involved. It will be her against them.

Daddy has spoiled this little man waaaaaay too much! He is definitely an entitled brat and thinks he deserves everything. I truly hope the girlfriend is paying close attention because she's in for a long life of waiting on him hand and foot. So when things don't go his way or he gets told no. He will whine and cry to his daddy and daddy will fix his problems!! Grow up baby boy!!

The landlord did not properly inform the tenants of damages or the reasons for taking the entire deposit. Are there laws that the judge is ignoring regarding that? In Oregon, the landlord has to pay twice the amount if they don't notify you of damages within thirty days even if there are actual damages.

Wait, neck tats destroyed a place? Whaaaaaaaatttt???!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why does the judge say i know the price because of family coming from construction? Those prices sound okay and fair. If you want cheaper, do it yourself or get someone that you will end up in court for a bad job. Small jobs are more expensive because they're not worth it for people to do. One hour job no one does it so they need to do minimum four hours.

5:35 why on earth would you leave expensive pairs of boots and sneakers outside your apartment? The inside of your apartment is a much better place to store those.

Run away from Bret! Run far away … omg you can just tell by lookin at him🥴

Oh, shut up, Doug.

Daddy will be taking care of the "kid" forever. that son is a problem.. and daddy is covering for him.

foolish dad and son and DEFINITELY the girlfriend. Run girl run!

Brett has the fave of a liar i wouldnt believe anything he would say

This girlfriend better be paying attention to her boyfriends actions and attitude. Since he's so disrespectful and vulgar towards one woman, he will be that way with her, and I'll bet he already is. It sounds like Daddy dear sees no problem with his son's behavior.

The son looks like a guy that will eventually be in rehab and the other dude will be sued for sexally assault someone in the workplace

The father is doing the son no favors by cleaning up his messes for him. The son is a Man-child & very juvenile & I suspect will never grow into a responsible man. Any woman who ankers herself to this loser will soon enough find herself playing the role of a mother rather than a partner or wife. As for the defendant, 800.00 was a perfect decision by the judge as we all know that his estimates for repairs to the unit were greatly inflated. No one seems to possess integrity or honor anymore & that is truly sad.

Sad dad enables son and it will not end

the son is a problem.. that's why daddies still taking care of him. he needs help. the girl friend better run while she can. and daddy will be covering for this punk forever,
