And judging from her exit interview, she seems to think just because she admitted to the damages that means she doesn't have to pay for them because she was honest about it... what planet is this lady living on? Ughh 🤦‍♀️

@@sashabenoit1518 I didn’t think she defended her case well. Yes the landlord may have been entitled to some deductions but I think he got more than he should. He knew that the damages didn’t cost that much, less than a thousand dollars, yet he took all of $3000+ for damage he mostly repaired himself. That’s nothing but greed.

@@kevina3372 Hmmmm. Guess you were there during the move out.

@@kevina3372 honestly I didn't like the landlord and I agree he did come off entitled and greedy.. I just thought it was funny and a little ridiculous that the lady thought she shouldn't have to pay anything for damages just because she was honest about it.

@@coreydbryant The point is that she is irresponsible, especially when it comes to HOT things. The fire was probably a result of negligence.

@@adammiller9179 still a stretch...

That property wasn’t wrecked, yet there were damages, estimated for less than a thousand dollars. Most of her deposit went to rent for overstaying. The landlord is a thief.

Wrecked is dramatic

wrecked? do you know what that even means? That property was far from wrecked

So sad you allow your kids to write on wall.

I don't understand why she didn't try to clean or repair the damaged areas. Like, wash the walls and repaint where the kid drew on the wall. A burned carpet is difficult to repair and might need to be replaced.

Who lets their kids do that? Lol, I’m sure she wasn’t there with the iron saying “burn the carpet” or “here take this crayon and color on the walls”. Lol!

@@shannaholmes833 I have 2 children, both with Cerebral Palsy and am a single mother. I've rented the same townhome for 4 years. Any damage they have done to walls I have repaired with magic erasers, paint, etc. It's called having respect for property you don't own.

@@kristin0408 I have two kids as well. One who is autistic and the other day I was in my room and plugged the iron up to iron out clothes. Got side tracked for a minute and heard a loud crash. My son had picked up the iron and dropped it on the hard wood floor. He seems to be intrigued by irons for some reason. It was an accident and happened so fast. Luckily there was no damage but the point I’m trying to make is sometimes things happen that you don’t expect. You try to mitigate the risks but I everything that happens with kids doesn’t mean they were trying to destroy the owners home. Yes she could’ve cleaned up the crayons herself but that iron and floor damage maybe not so much. Compared to some other cases I’ve seen this wasn’t even that bad. Im not letting anyone keep over $3000 for the three issues he mentioned. Justice was served though!

Really tho, she stood there shaking her head as if she forgot about all that. And all it took was for her to put in a lil bit of elbow grease and google as far as the crayola. WD-40 and wipe off. She didn't care enough until it came bk to getting that deposit bk. And she said she "didn't recall" the hardwood floors being damaged?!? Girl please yes you did otherwise she would've said they were NOT damaged.

She pays her insurance and I bet it goes up

It wasn’t trashed! And definitely not to the tune of 5,000 dollars like the landlord’s counter sued amount. The dude was reaching with zero evidence. He seem like they type to hold on to a security deposit for any reason like the neighbors said but if she knew that she should have fixed everything she could before she moved out.

Good point! lol

They're just humans. Not all renters are good people either! I don't understand people that say all this group is good and this group is bad. How stupid is that! Some renters live in section 8) tax payers money and all they do is get high all day. Most don't have jobs. The tax payers pay their rent, food stamps, free phones, medicaid, etc.etc. I really like my landlord. Unfortunately some of his tenants are awful. Especially the woman who is on section 8) she's a drug addict and is up all night every night til 3 In the morning! She does not have a job or have worry about the rent( she gets a check every month).

Totally AGREE! 😉👍🏻

Do think it's a sum to compensate for renting and government funding?

@@billiebum6474it’s not government funding dummy, over and over again she said it was her insurance.

She’s NOT mad at that she made her facial expressions because he got money for staying over a few days even though the landlord was the reason she had to stay longer because of the fact that he caused the issue with the movers!

@@somethingaboutbeaute She was mad because she didn't get all of it back. She acted like if she admitted she did the damage, then she should get all the money. And it was HER that threw a fit that he let the movers in.

Best Comment🏆Nothing left to say...

Dear landlord, Please don’t swindle your tenants. Use your brain and understand that she could have sued for double if she was in certain states. Not because there are damages, it means that you are entitled to $3000+ of your tenant’s “property” .

That damage wasn’t intentional clearly. It was all due to negligence. But the greedy landlord overestimated the cost:… and clearly most of what he got to keep went to rent.

@@kevina3372 Bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha! Yep! Accidental damage just looks so much nicer than intentional damage. You ever hear the term "You break, you buy?" That kinda explains this situation. Is personal responsibility still a thing these days?

@@roslynhawkins1475 well she didn’t break anything. That’s mostly reparable stains and scratches that the landlord will fix himself. That’s why he didn’t have any evidence of the cost. there is a thing called being honest and not trying swindle tenants out of their security deposit. The scratches and stains aren’t worth $3000+ yet he kept all of it. It’s ridiculous that the tenant had to go through the hassle of suing when he knew damn well that’s only $500 worth of damage.

@@kevina3372 "You break, you buy" is not literal, just means you're financially responsible if you cause damge to something that belongs to someone else. Intent is irrelevant. Again, she has a lease that SHE signed where she obligated herself to a $500 cleaning fee. She also paid a security deposit. You do know that landlords collect a security deposit as a way of motivating a tenant to take care of the property and if they cause damage beyond normal wear and tear, those damages are deducted from the security deposit. There's this little thing called responsibility that some people seem to think doesn't exist anymore, but it does. He isn't obligated to eat the cost of a burned carpet, crayon on a wall that she sloppily attempted to cover up, and paint on hardwood floors. She's obligated. It's very, very, VERY simple. If you aren't responsible enough to take care of someone else's property, don't rent.

@@roslynhawkins1475 "You break it, you buy it" isn't literal??

Yep!! Smart!!

@ReaP JoY How is he nosey? Every time he entered the home there was a reason. The tenants needed him to.

Hmmm sounds like you need to listen better. They said that about the downstairs unit, not hers and she didn't say no one lived their before she said she doesnt believe anyone lived there before which might be 100% true if that was what she was told by the landlord. She might still be lying but don't misquote her to make her sound like a liar

@@Wintersgambit Hmmm.. Maybe I should listen better 😌

It's the damage mostly not about the rent.

The security deposit that she paid the original property probably got transferred to the defendant

She paid the security deposit ergo she gets it back

She’s a scammer that’s why.

She was hoping to get all that money..😂 u see her face lol

she wrecks the place and the judge yells at the guy, what a wonderful society we live in

@@christopherchance4860 she wrecked the place? Crayon on a wall, burn on a carpet and scratch on a floor cost $3000. No landlord is paying $3000+ for those damages, yet he kept all her money. He is greedy and if it wasn’t for the rent, he wouldn’t have gotten back so much.

@@kevina3372 Yea. Who cares about small things likes scratches on a new floor, crayon on the walls, paint on the floor and burn damage from an iron on the rug. Yep! That's normal wear and tear on you ask me.

@@roslynhawkins1475 he's so full of shit. that was not a total gut of that house/apt. he put a wood floor in & painted. This is a common tactic many of them do today, they do very little & then claim complete rehab & jack the price up. He jacked EVERYTHING from the carpet to the walls to the locks on the doors. This was a pissed opportunist landlord who wanted more money, they do this often, it's textbook. Anyone who has owned a home knows it doesn't cost that much for those things. Damage or not he hiked those prices on purpose, he didn't bring estimates because there weren't any, the prices came from inside his head.

@@kevina3372 considering she was only in the house 6 months she certainly didnt take great care of it. She didnt givr a crap like many tenants esp a rental being paid for by someone else

Why is the landlord due the entire deposit?

@@kevina3372 because she damaged the place.

@@kevina3372 because she let her children and mother destroy the place

Didn't hear her say who paid deposit. Some programs let you get the money back as "damages" to incentivize you to treat it right, others will bill you.

Maybe she has to pay the insurance company if they don't get it back. Other than the cleaning fee.

They (the husband and wife) paid the deposit, and since they overstayed the portion paid by the insurance company through the 4th, by several days, their deposit was also reduced by that amount. They owe the insurance company nothing.

@@themrs.1200 the plantiff did say the insurance paid the deposit when the judge asked her why the lease she showed was different & didn't have the defendants signature. The plantiff then said that's what the insurance company gave her because they were the ones who took care of that, the security & monthly payments. As with the majority of home owners insurance the homeowners usually only have to pay the insurance deductible.

She pays her insurance premiums be fr it’s her money that’s why she pays her premium if some like that happened she’s covered 😂

Unbelievable, isn't it?!? 😮

She caused damage, didn't return keys, he was extremely ill-prepared for court with little proof, and walked into their house whenever he felt like it, which is extremely illegal.. Yep, both are wrong. Why would you think otherwise?

Now we know what caused the house fire 🤣

That’s all it is, u have to prove whatever u in court for

Especially a 500 dollar cleaning fee. Tenants clean before they leave or should.

And who is trifling here?

@@kevina3372 if you have to ask, then...🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@@justacarguy90 if you ask to ask then what? I want to know too who is trifling?

He is a scammer, he overestimated everything. He could have worked out something with her but some of these landlords are greedy and they look for opportunities to scam tenants. He probably knew that the kids were there and was looking for reasons to deduct long before she moved out. He tried to take all of $3000+ knowing damn well, the damage didn’t cost that much.

@@kevina3372 Um. If I rent my home to someone and they cause damage, I'm not working anything out with anyone. They either fix it or pay. He makes money from his rental. He doesn't owe the plaintiff any more consideration than what's outlined in her lease

I guess so she wildin

Doug is the old guy in the hallway this is Curt.

Yeah, exactly 🤷🏾‍♀️

Because a security deposit is used as insurance against the renter to incentivize them to not mess up the place they're renting. The insurance company wasn't living in the house. So why should they have to pay for any damages the plaintiff caused during her stay in the defendant's house? It's like when you have to get a rental car. They'll pay for it, but you're responsible for the extras and add ons.

Normal kids do not cause property damage

They’re not supposed to stand until the judge asks them. Real husbands educate themselves on court procedures.

She was the one who filed the suit. Only time he stands up is when judge asks him.
