Did he really say there’s no way to discuss every little thing to the plaintiff? If I’m renting, you best be discussing every little thing. She was smart to get legal advice

Always ask for a copy of the lease before putting a deposit down. If they refuse, then it's most likely because the lease will be more in their favor and may even have terms that are illegal.

"There's no way to discuss every little thing." - Well, that is the reason you make a prewritten template lease with all details, except for who will lease it. This template you send/share before any deposits are made, so that it can be negotiated and both parties know everything before any agreements is made and money for deposit made.

Judge took him to school on the law during this episode SHE KNOWS HER STUFF 💯

During the case: yes we discussed everything After the case: theres no way to discuss everything

Hey everyone! I can't stop watching this show lol

He was tryna get over 😂

But he didn’t deny that he put it in after she signed it am I right? 🤔

For over 70 years I have never leased anything until I was able to read the lease for 24 hours.

I am glad the plaintiff won. If there is anything that should be paramount in a lease is the amount of the deposit and whether or not it is refundable. You don't have to be a lawyer to know this. Too much ambiguity will have people losing lawsuits right and left.

It’s very common in NY to pay for repairs and water in commercial rentals.

I want more of those sit down conversations after the show!!!!!

Couldnt finish watching this case... too many "uhs" between words.. drove me crazy

He absolutely wrote "nonrefundable" AFTER the fact! You can tell bc it's Hand Written and off to the side! Plus, he's a liar and a scammer. The fact this "judge" told him how to legally get away with scamming more ppl is absolutely disgusting.

If she says UH one more time I will SCREAM!!!

They cut the ATV real quick today! "You gotta call the police" LMFAO

The defendant didn't disclose all the necessary information to the plantiff beforehand which to me is the reason he lost this case.

Judge Milian is so beautiful but gosh darn that husband of hers is hot potatoes☺ Warm hugs to both of you from Katrinka in the San Francisco Bay Area

any landlord that requires a non-refundable deposit before they will even show you the lease agreement is planning on screwing you as a tenant.

The dude is slick. He's probably gotten away with these tactics many times. Good thing plaintiff had a lawyer look over contract.

Give her back her money 🙄

Defendant is a conman. And I am not sure why JM is saying that she's not buying that he added - nonrefundable - when she just said that it's assumed that it's non-refundable. If the guy didn't add it after the fact, why wasn't it typed up in the lease to begin with? Answer - He's a conman - because it's assumed to be nonrefundable! He wrote it in because he never disclosed the fact that he was going to stick on taxes, water bill, repairs, etc

Love this show

Don't sublease anything. There's always a problem.

They cut the end short...I judge m.m. went off on her husband just then so they had to cut it lol

She lied about one thing so I wouldn't believe her that he didn't tell her it was a sublet.

That's my neurologist's name - Auluwhalia

Wow she got lucky. I just knew the judge would say nonrefundable.

The judge is inconsistent when she applies the law sometimes

There is a way to discuss every little detail, it's called a lease, not a text message.

This is standard for commercial rentals that lawyer wasn’t a commercial re lawyer and she doesn’t know what the hell is going on

I think it's fair. To the defendants point, he can't text everything on the lease. Text messages is not the best way to do business IMO. She should be able to have the lease quickly (2 full business days) vetted before signing the lease/sublease. If it were me, I would simply present a smaller, consolidated version on "an application" document and/or better yet, include the entire sub-lease on that document to be totally safe and avoid confusion. Then he can collect the $250 until she or a more qualified person can provide their opinion on the document. I've read many contracts. In most cases, you really just need common sense. This one was very straight forward. On the application document that she signs with the application fee, it should state... "I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TIME TO READ THIS (ALL 6 PAGES) IN ITS ENTIRITY INCLUDING ALL THE TERMS OF THE SUBLEASE WHICH I MAY OR MAY NOT CHOSE TO SIGN WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS (DAY 1 STARTS TOMORROW.) I HERBY AGREE THAT WE HAVE A MEETING OF THE MINDS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS $250 APPLICATION FEE IS 100% NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES." Had he done very simple step, he would have won. I believe that her lawyer made her paranoid but he wanted to justify his/her fee. It's a commercial space. She likely would have been fine. Most leases are not great and many make you commit for 10 years! The increases were also likely less than the rate of inflation. This lease really didn't look too bad to me. The landlord looks like a decent guy to- not shady. Just a businessman and probably an honest one. I got a good vibe from this gentleman.

He's kinda slick too, now he's playing dumb.

Defendant a sneaky landlord

Interaction between JM and husband..she wears pants, suspenders..the whole black robe in her family...he's a judge too..but she bangs the gavel! No question! He's very impressive and funny when he gets a chance to speak..like later episodes.

Awful decision

If one thing should have stemmed from the pandemic and masking, is the issue over the rights customers have in business establishments, as opposed to those of the owner. It astounded me in videos I watched, how some members of the public assumed they could dictate to the owner of a business, or their employees, how the issue was going to be handled. Did not take long for them to get a quick lesson regarding the issue!

He’s a scammer

Thank goodness she lucky to get her money I’ve seen that happen a few times with these cons take your money then re-write on the receipt afterwards and don’t wanna show you what they have just done. Creepy Stealing 😮

🤣🤣🤣 grab them by the arm and escort them out 🤼‍♂️?! Thank goodness Judge Marilyn was there to clarify. You call the police if people refuse to leave.

She signed a lease. Does t matter if he didn't text everything in. This case is dumb

? She signs before lawyer review? Yikes.

I believe him when he says he did tell her in advance that it was a sublease, I think she was excited and didnt fully realize what a sublease was until her lawyer explained it to her, I think she should have shown her copy compared to his and if she signed the same one I don't think she should have got a refund on the deposit.

She Clearly has NO understanding of a commercial net lease!

She picked a perfect place to perform her chiropractic practice Say that 5 times fast

He is so fishy. He wants a deposit before even showing a lease. No way.

She should’ve checked it prior to signing it.

Yeah he's a crook. Land of the Free doesn't mean let's Rob who we can

She will lie saying he didn't know it was a Sub Lease, it is to her advantage. She lost already cause she lied. Judge i hope agrees. Why does Judge usually side with the female.

If the defendant is sub-letting it, he should have to provide a copy of his own lease to the judge so that we can see if he is doing something fraudulent to the plaintiff, with the price he is asking, for repairs that he should be responsible for etc.. and also does he even have the right to sub-let? But the bit I really didn't like was when the judge called the plaintiff a liar by saying that 'no way did he write 'non refundable' AFTER she had signed it', then promptly awarded her the deposit back. At 2:51 if it was typed in the contract then so be it, but to be handwritten, then that is totally believable that it was written afterwards, because for it to be handwritten means that sometimes he leaves it blank because the deposit IS refundable, (yeah right!)...

She would have ended up paying a lot more money than what he was asking . He wanted her to pay for things like pipes bursting, painting, etc

For all my TicTok lovers! 🗣 Not da BANYANG

I work in commercial property. Yes, in storefront building/property the tenant is responsible for all repairs. When we write up a lease it's clear the tenant will be held responsible for all items listed in the lease... The only items that the company is responsible for are the structure and the roof of the building. That's why the rent for an office building space at $45sq feet compare to a storefront at $30sq feet, that's normal.

Bangs baby!!

That woman sounds like a serious dolt. Hope she learns a lot about running a business.

He seems scammy. I need a deposit b4 I can start the paper work? Like no thanks.

He almost had her😳

Byrd and judge Judy didn't have a relationship outside the show I wonder if judge Milian n Douglas are the same

The defendant got a free law lesson

Anne Rice.....

Chiropracty is quackery.

Feels like the Judge is getting soft in her old age….you signed a lease. Sorry! I can just hear her voice in every other episode “how big was the gun he put to your head to sign the lease!” She should have read the damn lease before she signed it instead of sending it to a lawyer afterwards

All natural indigenous pointed out at 3:30 SHE REFERRED TO SENDING THE SUBLEASE TO HER LAWYER! The judgemental get it right. The plaintiff lied!

Idk it seems crazy that she won even though it is literally stated in the lease. In tons of other cases she holds the lease word for word. Scary how a judge can pick and choose when and how they want to apply the law.
