Like BFFR 😂😂😂

Lol 😂 the plaintiff said it was at least 7 years old. He should have stuck with that.

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

right!!!! lol

Crazyyyyyy

He thought he had it in the bag!!🤣🤣🤣

🤣that's why this show is so good

Exactly. I hate that

I have always thought that. Agree totally!

Nope it's a sign they should have got it in writing

Many times it's because the defendant has already disputed that in their response or counter suit but no, she shouldn't do that, it's leading

The security deposit was mostly used for the last months rent and wall cleaning. The carpet and tile were not the tenant's responsibility

Yeah it was the walls. That’s going to cost a LOT

It will take thousands to take care of the walls alone. Even then, it gets into every inch of the place, so I wouldn't be surprised if faint wisp of smoke is still smelled years later.

He has to pay 1 month rent because he didn't give a 30 day notice and for the damage he did to the walls. These alone will cost the landlord more than the double money of the deposit this tenant was asking back. I hope this landlord sued him later for the remaing money he had to pay out of his pocket.

So because he smokes and had birds that animal abuse 🤔🙄!! That's far from animal abuse!!

Smoking is toxic to anything living especially birds. They have small delicate nostrils so smoking could really hurt them even kill them. Looking at the walls, he was a big smoker.

@@amandabrown6565 According to the FDA: Birds that live with smokers can develop: irritated sinuses pneumonia allergies lung cancer feather plucking eye problem skin abnormalities heart problems fertility problems.34, 35, 36 Some of these conditions, like pneumonia, lung cancer, and heart problems, can cause death. Other conditions, like allergies and feather plucking, can be difficult to treat if the bird is not removed from the smoky environment. Secondhand smoke is harmful to every living being, including humans, dogs, cats, birds, etc. While the defendant doesn't say what size plastic box the plaintiff is keeping his birds in, the fact that he doesn't say cage is a little concerning. Some people just don't know how to properly keep birds as pets and believe that as long as they are fed and watered regularly, they are good to go. But without a picture, I can't say this with certainty.

Canary in a coal mine...

​@@amandabrown6565 Really? I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I do shudder a bit at the thought of you caring for pets... or for any living being who requires clean air to breathe for that matter. If his walls ended up looking like that, imagine what the lungs of anything that breathes would look like being forced to live in that hot box. It's been proven that secondhand smoke can be just as deadly. But you do you. Just don't take others down with you.

Blow smoke in ur face

True, and as a retired licensed contractor, I always quoted X 2 if I knew it was a smokers house, because you to wash twice with tsp, then rincé with clean water, before I could even begin to paint. And no, any primer isn’t good enough. The nicotine stains WILL show through

That and the carpet! The way some people choose to live is unreal.

And good luck getting the tar off the walls

Agreed and I smoke.

It doesn't matter if he did a lot or little damage because he smoked. Even if a landord is a nice guy and allows you to smoke even if the contact say you can't, there is a reason he is not removing it from the contract. For not having to pay out of his pocket for the nasty habits of others. Anyway I can't believe this tenant thought he had a case lol. The house is awful because of his nasty habits and hasn't given a 30 day notice.

That’s illegal

She already has their pleadings

he's soooooo weird. why are you touching this man lol

And he’s standing so close to the defendant while he’s touching the pin 😂 I thought he might give him a kiss

​@@TheMakeupSavvy he seemed very smitten by that gentleman. Think he might have had a crush on him.

All of you are just jealous of doug 😂😂😂

LOL

I agree... but landlords are not responsible to pay the damages for their tenants' addictions. And smokers can't step outside to smoke. I smoked for seven years, quitting 30 years ago... I never smoked inside.

Crack is the hardest habit to quit

She didn't. The cost of the walls and the 1 month rent the plaintiff owes cover the actual penalty.

It's because they've already submitted statements saying the opposite. The point is that it doesn't matter what you say in court; it matters what you have evidence for.

Maybe idk but maybe because he didn’t give him notice. Just to penalize both of them.

If what he withheld exceeded the actual damages, then he has wrongfully withheld $0, and therefore he does not have to pay any penalty.

Her rulings are based upon the laws of the state where the case is filed. This is why her rulings may seem inconsistent.

4:59 covers it

Because the damages cost more than the double desposit.

A plastic box at that. 😢

He didn’t have to pay for the carpet. Or the bathroom tiles. The deposit was taken care of in last month’s rent and damage to the walls from smoke. I feel sure it will cost way more to fix those walls than the few hundred left after rent was subtracted. I’m so sad about those birds, too.😢

He has to pay 1 month rent because he didn't give a 30 day notice and for the damage he did to the walls. These alone will cost the landlord more than the double money of the deposit this tenant was asking back.

That if he cannot prove all the damages he claims, he has to pay double. Say the landlord withheld a deposit of 4000 dollars, and never sent the letter. Then the tenants sue the landlord, and in court the landlord is only able to prove 1000 dollars of damage. Instead of owing the tenants 3000 dollars (4000-1000 = 3000) he owes them 6000, double, because the landlord did not send the letter as required.

@@LetztezBatallion but that could happen even IF they send the letter in the 30 days. I just know I’ve seen an episode where the landlord didn’t send a letter and had some damages, but the judge said I can’t give you it cause you didn’t send the letter. I’m guessing it’s just different laws for different states. But I think there should be some type of consequence for not sending the letter

@@hyperion6 I’m talking about the landlord not sending the letter within the 30 day period they’re allowed

@@jennylynx1869 His penalty for that is paying back the double deposit of the money he wrongfully kept. If a court decided that he should give back 300 dollars of the deposit for example, he should give back instead of 300 dollars, 600 dollars. But in this case the plaintiff actually owes even more money even of the double deposit and he hasn't wrongfully kept not even a dollar. A landlord not follwing the rules doesn't mean he will be penalized with stuff he is not in the wrong. With that logic, the tenant didn't follow the rules too by not giving 30 days notice, so he would have to be penalized with stuff he is not in the wrong.

are you a realtor? not everyone is wealthy enough to own a home.

High probability? Bruh literally the lowest probability.

Just because someone rents doesn't always mean that they can buy their own home. They might not can afford a down payment, not able to qualify for a loan because of bad or no proper type of credit. So don't just assume that everyone that rents can afford to buy a house

Yo Adrian You’ve got a point there You better get a hat and cover it up .

The cheapest homes in my area are 300k for a 1000 square foot run down home with no yard. “Desirable” homes in my area go for 500k+. It is extremely classist of you to assume anyone can afford property in 2023. I have a high paying job and still can’t buy a home because I’d end up house broke.

In their area, as long as there is actual need to keep the deposit, then there's no penalty. If it turned out he kept part of it for no reasons (or the wrong reasons) then he would have gotten double the amount that was owed. Each city/county/state is different.

He did know that he smoked. That’s why he had sent him a certified letter in the past asking him to stop per his lease. He could have sued the plaintiff for all it’s going to cost to fix those walls.

It’s not a state which requires penalty just for not sending a letter. Just if you wrongfully withhold it. Which he didn’t

*writing (within), *soot (on walls)? 🙂

Even if a landord is a nice guy and allows you to smoke even if the contact say you can't, there is a reason he is not removing it from the contract. For not having to pay out of his pocket for the nasty habits of others. It's that simple.

Did we not watch the same case the plaintiff left the landlords apartment a disgusting mess how dare he smoke inside an apartment that doesn't even belong to him 😂 you have to be the type of person to leave things a mess an in shambles

Seriously... have you watched the case? If you say that because you believe that this tenant shouldn't pay for the mess he created because of his nasty habits, think again. Even if a landord is a nice guy and allows you to smoke even if the contact say you can't, there is a reason he is not removing it from the contract. For not having to pay out of his pocket for the nasty habits of others. It's that simple.
