That house was actually pretty clean. I was expecting an episode of Hoarders lol

Can you imagine how ridiculous he would act if someone really left the house dirty?

Ain’t no way In hell he ain’t give her security back because of how she left the house after 3yrs. That apt looked damn good for her to be moving out after 3yrs and messy kids (as he stated🙄) he a beat , bitter,cheap old ass man

" there was confetti on top of the dirt as she was celebrating how messy should could be" . . . lol . . . good one!

I'm a landlord & I don't see any major damages and the apartment was clean. I would've kept some of the security to repair the walls & moved on. After 3 years an apartment with kids will need carpet replaced & painting so the landlord is being unreasonable there.

How tf is he attempting to evict a tenant that has already moved out! An eviction will stay on her record and could prevent her and her children from finding housing. Smh he is a bad man.

He’s a petty ass landlord

He’s being petty I’ve seen people leave places in complete squaller. she can pay for the holes but everything else was fine to me

The carpet issue was blown out of proportion. She lived there for 3 years the carpet needs to be replaced regardless. The walls okay, I get that but I’ve seen worse houses at move out on other episodes.

The judge was wrong ...the apartment was really cleaned. He greedy an has don't his several times before

She filled the holes the man can paint because he would have had to paint in between tenants. Judge Milian's rulings are so off. This man act like he wasn't supposed to clean at all.

The landlord is Cheap and greedy.

As a cleaner, I’m pretty sure he was looking for carpet lines from vacuuming (essentially looking for a professional clean) and that’s not something a regular tenant would know to do or know how to do. He should state in his lease his expectations or include a move-out clean fee upon signing the lease. That aside, she’s an idiot for thinking she can just patch holes and not finish the job and it would be ok. And YES you CAN match paint. Any paint. Just take a box cutter and take out maybe like a 2”x2” piece of the paper part of the drywall, take it to a hardware or paint store, patch all damages including what you had to cut out, prime for consistent texture, and paint.

Most Landlords are so unscrupulous, the place wasnt that bad.

That man is petty. She left that clean compared to what I've seen other tenants do. He's ridiculous.

Sorry judge u missed the mark on this one. That place actually looked pretty good. I hung 📺 in my house then i moved and did the same thing she did was there 4 yrs

He talks in such sarcastic euphemisms.

When I rented, my landlord loved me- paid my rent on time. When I left, broke my lease early and only forfeited the security deposit-- he was the best landlord of all my years of renting.

OMG!!! Judge Milian, you are SO FAR WRONG!!! You, yourself, have said on many occasions that landlords have to suck it up and pay for a paint job after a tenant being there longterm!!! Those carpets looked fine! Unbelievable ridiculousness!!!

Judge acting like she didn’t understand the west and tear part. Each time a tenant moves out they’re suppose to paint anyway. Just like she said.

I expected the place to look far worse than it did. I agree with her on the paint job I would concede it wear and tear also with the exception of the holes which would need to be sanded. The only thing I saw on the landlord's video was a dirty ceiling fan and a phone book and dust on the fridge. That being said I know everything does not always show up on camera.

The judge is full of sh$$. As a landlord that's something you replace for new tenants. I think he was expecting for her to deep clean but actually he is suppose to hire someone to deep clean.

Why do people decide to mount TV's smaller than 60 inches just put them on a stand and save all that extra money 💯

I like the defendant. She was very calm.

I think the landlord or landlords have to paint after each tenant anyways even if they’re there for a year. I would want that as a new tenant.

I wonder if plaintiffs weighs up their chances of winning their case when choosing TV judges. Do I go to Millian or Judy.

Hear me out. If I was renting to someone, I personally wouldn't want them to fix anything unless I've seen their work. It's extremely cheap and easy to patch holes unless they are huge. But I'd rather do it myself so it will be done properly. And the carpet needs to be replaced for the new tenant. You just don't know how they lived on it.

Yo, that's a nice apartment.

Judge Millian: ….497 in damages Plaintiff: 👀

When I rented and decided to leave I went above and beyond. Painted all the walls with the Sherwin Williams paint. I replaced everything from lowes becuse that is where they go to replace things. I got everything back and was told I can come back anytime. I will never go back because they were petty. I was taught if you are using someone’s stuff or renting it take care of it and replace whatever was my mess.

This guy made other seem like that apartment was so dirty. I've seen so much worse on the people's court

I am too lazy to throughly clean so I just hired a cleaner to do a move out clean.

I have NEVER repainted walls after moving out! Like her, I patch the holes and the landlord repaints because they would do that anyway. This guy is beyond ridiculous. The gunk on the floor, ok. But everything else is extra petty.

I can't understand why JM allows litigants to say, "He said this, she told me this." That's hearsay, should not be amicable in court. Judge Judy never allows that.

Justice was NOT SERVED by you, Judge Milian!!!

I'm confused 😕 about the landlord and now ima have to ask did you disinfect after 3year I mean u was going to keep 3year old carpet that's disgusting u acting like her cleaning was going to get it ready for a new tent maybe I was looking at it wrong but it's strange that apartment looked nice

This landlord is a real hardass. It’s not that serious. He’d have to paint and replace carpet anyway as she was there three years. That’s the cost of being a landlord. Why is he insisting the place was filthy being petty.

If you take a small piece of the paint to Lowe's or home Depot they can match the color exactly with a machine. It's really cool. I learned that through a contractor.

Loved the Living Will conversation.

He's so picky he should never rent to anybody.

She was a renter for 3 years. The walls were a normal wear and tear so they should be painted anyway, Those carpets look fine. The window was broken from the outside so she did not do it.

The good ole' "I have a family emergency" lie. Classic.

This man is straight up...petty as hell!!!

Douglas is my favorite People's Court staff. He needs more screen time.

That dude tripping

He’s a nightmare. She shouldn’t have mounted those tvs without preparing to completely restore the paint though.

Lol that was hair glue in the carpet

Most people wouldn’t have even patched the holes HES lucky she even did that

I can't believe she made her pay money to this man

She should sue him for filing the eviction after she moved out. This video is proof he was being spiteful and it can really hurt her credit

I love JM however she got this one wrong. The defendant shouldn't have paid another penny. She left the place in good condition after 3 yrs.

I didn't really understand this case. I felt they could have met halfway. The apartment did not really look that bad and landlords do need to make some effort to get things ready for the next tenant. That is part of their responsibility. They cannot lay all of their charges on the previous tenant.

Sounds like a case of pent up aggression.

Cheap skate landlord. Not repainting after 3yrs means the next tenant has to inherit the 'normal wear and tear' (fading/flaking/chips etc) of the previous tenant and run the risk of having their security deposit withheld for accumulated wear and tear that preceded them. And looking for costs to evict a tenant that had already vacated is just nuts!

Landlords like the Plaintiff irk me. Yes the defendant messed up leaving half patched holes in the wall and couple spots of damage on the carpet; but the guy reminded me of a landlord who tried to charge me thousands for kitchen cabinet replacements because one drawer had a small stain....

This case was so off SMH… normally I agree with her ruling

12:56 there was confetti on top like she was celebrating how dirty she could be lmao

This guy is cheap.

I feel the judgement was fair considering the condition of the walls, and some of the carpet. The questionable area on the carpet that was clear with blue tint looks like candy.

Grandpa hair and wardrobe look like that apt messy and need to be updated

Harvey repeats judge’s words again. Wonder what he get paid for this.

He’s trying to evict someone who left and paid up on rent?? Ridiculous. I don’t get how he got to keep the security deposit. Bad judgement

The place didn't look that bad from what the l.lord showed. If she was that bad of a tenant, he Should've, Would've, Could've tossed her out after year #1. Or, he could done his due-diligence to get her removed from his property *before* the end of year #2. L.lord should keep all walls white or egg-shell in color; this way, the tenant nor the l.lord won't need to go on "color-matching" hunts. Less headaches for all imho.

Even Wal Mart matches Paint Home Depot also Girl own it you left it messy

That plaintiff is so cheap.

as if she celebrated how dirty she can leave it!! hahahah that's great

Why evict her & mess up her credit when she already moved?

This big bitter old man needs to grow up

The judge was 100% wrong on this one…! 😠

Judge moved the goal post for normal wear & tear. The place was reasonably clean - after 3 years he would need to repaint and clean carpets anyway

That's weave bonding glue.

Seems like judge wasn't in the mood today. I've seen worse tenants get way more credit from wear n' tear, PLUS she NEVER looked at the woman's' evidence on how she left the apartment.

He better paint those walls!

Looks like his little $400 did hurt her with that snarky little remark at the end. Just made her look even worse than she already looked.

She was doing hair in her home thats glue on that floor

The landlord is being ridiculous. I’m glad she left. I did not agree with the judge at all.

His place wasn’t in the condition he described.

All that landlord has to do is sand that.

He could not be my landlord heck no

He doesn't know who pulled the trash along the sidewalk/walkway...I would love to see the video of the child 🙄 running up against the door. Renewing lease annually?? O-k

"Money hungry..." just pay what you owe! It is just that simple!

It's good Ole Larry Harry!

It seems fair that the landlord should have to repaint and clean the carpets after move out, even if there is a charge to clean the carpets, but painting is landlord's responsibility.

I don’t agree with this ruling. He is a petty little greedy man. We also never got to see the defendant’s video or find out why he wouldn’t do a final walk through.

Petty landlord SMH 🙄

What is wrong with JM here? Professional cleaning of carpet is normal and expected... you have to have it done otherwise the carpet isn't in a sanitary condition for the next tenant! Nobody wants to move in with dirty carpet-- the landlords certainly don't pay for it. (That is the only thing all of my landlords took money out of my deposit for.) And it seems to me, after 3 years and with kids, the place looked exceptionally good! I saw nothing filthy. "Filthy" is a word he over uses! And taking a picture of the fan from that bizarre angle was a dead giveaway that he *is* money hungry!

The landlord might be a little unreasonable thinking after 3 years, an apartment's walls can just be wiped down, but she was petty talking about he's 'money hungry' and all. Landlords often have to pay out of pocket for things that tenants leave behind or damage. You don't want them raising the rent or keeping a portion of your security deposit, but they have to be making money being a landlord.

Nah you can tell them rugs being gray had staring of substances that were dark juice ect

bless her heart

Some walls just can't be cleaned, and need to be repainted entirely. That's not the tenant's fault, that's on the landlord for using cheaper-'n-fuck paint that comes off if you even _look_ at it wrong. Not saying that's the case here, but trust me. Every house I've rented had that, including the one I'm in now. The walls are covered in a random assortment of bug splatter, and not only can I not physically clean them I'm not even allowed to paint.

Ah yes. I love washing my walls…..

Oh man, imagine he actually gets a really nasty tenant sometime lol he's going to have a stroke.. 😂 He took a picture on top of the fridge.. 😂

I have spackled and repainted homes before I moved out . I agree with judge Milian she should have asked for touch up paint. that was hair glue on the carpet she knows what that is

Where I live its a law that if a tenant lives in a rented establishment over one years time.... the landlord is responsible for repainting their unit. Thank God bcuz I have lived in the same place exactly 7 years as of yesterday and if I chose to move out tomorrow aint no way I should have to repaint this place out of my own pocket. That is normal wear and tear.

She reminds me of the lady from Novel Kulture here on youtube..

Don't agree with this ruling. He was just looking for stuff wrong! Greedy landlord

Why do landlords expect a apartment to look exactly the same what it did before someone moved in? People lived there there’s going to be where and tear that’s always going to happen.

I've seen far worse on people's court, he's being extra petty😑...he was probably a whole pain to deal with...

The landlord chose to do a Blair witch style recording,smh.

I wonder if filing for eviction, after she moved out, wouldvgobon her rental record???
