I've learned so much from Judge Milian. I'm working with a vendor right now - using a *"verbal"* contract. I immediately sent her a text recapping the conversation, terms of the agreement, and agreed upon amount. She responded with a confirmation. I did exactly what Judge Milian beats into our heads.

$800 a month...🤯

You need to make T-shirts... CASH DOESN’T LEAVE THIS HAND UNTIL A RECEIPT ENTERS THIS HAND

Hesitation could mean you're lying. These guys couldn't give a "yes or no" answers.

I like how Judge Milian explains the correct way to do things, not just that they are wrong, very helpful and respectful

Four minutes into the case and the defendant already has a super hostile tone… am I the only one detecting that? 🤔

"I have a witness but they're not present." Lol. That doesn't make any sense.

Doug is so snarky and I'm here for it every time ... lol

“He’s the one who needs to grow up, but that’s between me and you”. Methinks there may have been a little more going on between these two than they’re willing to talk about on camera. I can’t see him letting some clearly irresponsible college dude use his space without a lease, with no promise to pay, and with all this tomfoolery, unless maybe there were some other exchanges. I’m always leery when I see an older person doing business with a much younger person, and letting so many things go though they’d have no business reason to do so and have the experience not to do it.

😆 " There's No Miscellaneous In My World "

You can't tell a landlord that you, "might stay or you might leave."

How could you have a rental agreement with no paperwork or receipts?

800 a month!!! Are they crazy!!!! Just for storage....

Mr. DON'T rent out your garage!!!!

DOUG ALWAYS COMING IN WITH HIS SAVAGE WITTYNESS IN THE END! I CANT EVERY GET OVER THAT HAHA 🤣

Plaintiff is a mechanic with a full workshop/garage and all kinds of tools but he tries to come across like he needs to hire a journeyman electrician to wire a simple outlet and a master carpenter to patch a hole in a plywood floor. Riiiight. Glad the judge didn't buy that line of crap either. He was trying to nickel and dime the kid to death to “teach him a lesson”? What?? Just because he's older doesn't make him any wiser. Sounds like the kid was the wise one to get out of there.

"but that's between me and you." And the rest of daytime america. We won't tell.

landlord was mostly wrong. use a contract it's very simple. kid acted like a kid. judge verdict was very fair this time.

The After the Verdict question was a good one!!!

We DON'T! live in a "handshake" World anymore, people are NOT! honest!

Dude (defendant)...your not the victim here.

Are all these people that come through this court always so stupid that they can not answer a direct question?

These two sides are a joke. What right or ability does the plaintiff have to teach anyone else any lesson? He rents space and equipment to people without paperwork or contract. Nice doesn't mean not doing thing by the book. You can have paperwork and be nice. The defendant is like all the letigents who say, "they never gave me a receipt!" Why is it only their responsibility to give you one? How do people do business like this? What world do they live in?

Do these types of litigants really think they are going to equivocate their way through a case? Bad enough no paperwork, one has a witness that isn't there, and cannot give straight answers on top of it all. No wonder JM was losing her patience with them!

Both of these litigans are beyond annoying and so disrespectful to the judge constantly interrupting and talking over her

i believe the defendant paid a deposit simply because nobody in this day and age rents without requiring a deposit but i also believe the defendant owed for repairs and items he used without paying for them . but again , the landord got greedy and wanted payment for the damages AND a months rent .

Bottom line is type up a contract and get receipts....

Both have issues

You don’t have to be an electrician to install an outlet. 😂 Simple stuff.

I appreciate the question at the end, because I’ve always wondered this.

the moral of the story 'get it in writing' no one had proof of anything beyond the 'creeper'

Go Judge Milian!

"But that's-a between me and you." - Umm no sir, it isn't. You literally just said it to everyone watching this. 🤣🤣

800 a month for using a building and storage? WTF

Ahh young love gone wrong

Why he dont have insurance? Since hes renting a space out.

I agree with the judge about this entire case, EXCEPT about the security deposit. Plaintiff is absolutely 100% lying about the security deposit; go back & listen to his very 1st response when answering the judge on that subject. Perjury! Judge should have given the defendant the security deposit credit, which would zero out both claims.

Why do the people who pay cash always act so indignant when they can’t prove it, almost every person has a phone with a camera, video it 🤦🏽‍♀️

obvi plaintiff has crush on defendant. Own it and let it go

I found both of these people a bit shady.

I have a witness but there not present!! 😩😩😩🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️OK SO YOU DON'T HAVE A WITNESS!!!

that guy is a LIAR, anyone trying to make money off renting a space being rented to him is already shady. Why does he need a notice? I'm taking my stuff and leaving.

Both these guys are sketchy and annoying.

"That's a funny story" is usually followed by a lie.

Judge did really not have time this episode she sounds irritated and done

Just WHAT was this wise plaintiff trying to teach the defendant ? I saw Nothing wise about him , in fact I don't Trust either 1.

Is it just me or $800 a month for storage is alot of money??

I think the plaintiff is a bold-faced liar when it comes to whether or not the defendant gave a deposit, why did he hesitate the way he did and kind of dance around the question? If he knew for a fact that the defendant gave absolutely nothing for a deposit he would have just directly answered the question, I'm not saying the defendant is blameless but I think the plaintiff knows if he answered honestly he would have walked away with nothing or almost nothing, he knew that there was no proof so he blatantly lied to the judge and then tries to school somebody on being a man gave me a break.

One thing I noticed from watching this, if a litigants eyes will not look straight ahead, they lying. Thats how I know when someone is face to face with me, but its works here too. Everytime someone lies, their eyes go down.

Love the Judge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would NOT pay that turd anything........regardless of the verdict

Happy Thirsty Thursday 🍻 & 🍕 😋

JM is pissy on this one 🤭

Was the older guy (the plaintiff) trying to do him a favour and expecting another sort of favour in return, is that why he got nasty when the younger guy said he might be leaving, there is something off about the plaintiff and I believe he is lying about certain aspects...

It's clear that the plaintiff was miffed that the defendant didn't return his romantic interest and is now retaliating by suing him.

Both these guys r lying...and honestly this whole situation is sooo fishy....i don't know..

Is English their first language 🤓

This court doesn't deal in ect ect and finishes ruling with you own him this much for this and ect ect what lol 😆

Honestly what this case actually appears is that the old dude had a crush on the young one and got upset because he was leaving. Let's be honest, who decides from nothing to not use a written contract, to allow this person use your stuff and also find ok to chase the guy to pay the monthly rent ?! All of this only because he was trying to be nice and then after because was trying to teach a younger man ? Common that's kinda obvious.

First one in!

I'm glad the kid didn't have to pay anything.

OMG 🤦🏾‍♀️ Do you have evidence of a security deposit? Yes, and I have a witness. Ok where’s your witness? They’re not here. 🫤 Ok where’s your evidence of payment? I paid in cash and he never gave me a receipt. 😑
