The rent is a separate issue, but I’m from the north, it does seem like a no win situation. Where do people who are displaced go? Provided state shelters? JJ probably flew out of there on a helicopter, what do regular and or poor people do?
@@LotsofLisa I’m from the south and there are places around the community to evacuate to if you have no means. But he had the means to evacuate. He didn’t pay his rent that month. He just thought he should live for free..
I hear what you're saying, but it's irrelevant. Whether there was a hurricane or not, whether the plaintiff told him not to worry about the money (because of the storm) or not, he still lived there and so must pay rent. She was also correct the plaintiff shouldn't be liable for the defendant using community property, and subsequently being fined for it. The "interrupting, impatience, & exasperation" was just the icing on the cake.
He has a maverick personality. That's someone who ignores their commitments and responsibilities while acting on their own bright ideas and then expecting everyone else to lay aside his broken commitments because his bright idea worked. People like that are a nightmare to be around. Always drama, always twisted logic, always dominance (like speaking over Judge Judy). Avoid them like the plague.
He said the apartment didn’t blow out because he defended the property so shouldn’t have to pay. But also that the apartment was blown out so shouldn’t have to pay. He’s a liar
He made my blood pressure rise. Poor single dad of four. I'm so tired of hearing the "SINGLE" parent sob I could puke. Then don't make so many or get divorced. No one made you get married and procreate and have children. NO one! And now you want pity from the world. Oh brother.
@@getin3949 I was a single parent, through domestic violence, so by your theory I should have stayed and waited for the Hitman I overheard my husband telling his mate on the phone he was going to hire. I didn't use the single parent thing for sympathy ever, but your theory is sooo wrong!!!
@@lisaparrey1343 They’re not saying people shouldn’t be single parents. They’re saying people shouldn’t use that for sympathy. Having children is a choice, not a curse or a disability. Many single parents act as though it’s a get out of jail free card, which it isn’t. Nobody forced you to have children. Unless someone did force you, in which case you actually would deserve sympathy. Otherwise, no.
The defendant is probably one of the most annoying people ever to appear on the show, but the amount of the time the plaintiff took to find that bloody cheque was also annoying! Judge Judy didn’t even bother to see the cheque in the end cos she couldn’t stand listening to the defendant anymore!
I totally agree! I was getting nervous because he couldn’t find that check. He caught a break because she couldn’t take another minute of the defendant!🤣🤣
@@tomb816 Doubt it, they went to the custody hearing and that judge got tired of hearing the defendant's bitching too he awarded him the kids full-time.
There are people who are not intimidated by Judge Judy. I do like the defendant because he spoke up like a man and not people being intimidated by a judge
Well let’s say it could have water coming down the walls but you’re still sleeping in it… just like if a place is infested with cockroaches you can still sleep in it too but legally it’s inhabitable
The plaintiff is lucky judge Judy was giving all her attention to the defendant otherwise she would have had a go at him for not being organised enough going through his papers like that
The moment he said "and he said don't worry about it" I knew just how manipulative this defendant was being. Amazing how many times in JJ people rock up thinking "don't worry about it" means you don't ever have to pay. Dispicable individual
The defendant is annoying as hell but I actually believe him that he had an agreement with the landlord. I feel like the landlord got mad when he got the bill for the benches and tried to get the defendant to pay it and he refused.
JJ still "benched" him though. Why? Because he was a sidewinder right off the hop. So his sympathies get lost in translation. Tell it like it is and maybe JJ would have listened. He tried to "play" JJ. Bad move.
Except if he had spent the rent money on "supplies," why did he need to take apart the benches??? And, $1,1000 goes a long way to drive out of the path of a hurricane.
I don't believe him after he said the landlord said "don't worry about it" to him, that doesn't mean never pay. He is manipulative. Taking apart the furniture is a whole other level of being irresponsible, it isn't his property to do that to
@@margaretwade I live in an area that has frequent weather emergencies. I believe him when he said there wasn't any supplies because some things go quickly depending on the disaster. Wood to board up sounds like something that would be gone first along with drinking water. I agree he messed up but I also think he had an agreement with this landlord cause he feels like to me the kind that said protect my place and we'll figure it out later.
The plaintiff has insurance which is pretty expensive by the way. Why will he care if he had insurance? I am sure the defendant wanted to stay in the apartment and play with this issue to avoid paying rent. He was served.
The guy got screwed over. Is there any wonder he's wining. He owed rent that's definite but he paid out in parts and he got permission from landlord to remove benches but has to pay for them..... Screwed over
I can tell the defendant is struggling for real , he’s just behind a lot with two kids. Of course he shouldn’t be a victim which it what it appears has, but he’s just defending his beliefs due to the stress. It’s not easy for people and everyone handles stress differently and he’s a bit reactive which still people can be he still has to pay rent though. The plaintiff has a business and he deserves his rent every time regardless if the defendant falls on hard times. The defendant should have left the house
No, you are missing the point. It comes down to the you-ate-the-steak line she often uses. You can have all the sympathy in the world, but let's not be selective in our sympathy. By staying in a property and not paying for it, the defendant is making the plaintiff into the victim of the hurricane. That's not fair. Lots of people had to do some serious work and overtime after a hurricane, including law enforcement, paramedics, rescue workers etc. - all of whom were paid for their work. Shouldn't responsible adults have insurance for this sort of thing anyway?
@@AishaBrownIsMe She did not shame him for struggling during a hurricane. She shamed him for not paying his rent, and then shamed him more for his rather shameful behaviour in court.
I can kind of understand not paying rent when a hurricane is on the way. It takes money to leave. It takes money to stay. If your job closes you don’t know for sure when you will get paid again. You are supposed to withdraw some cash because if the electricity goes out you won’t be able to. For about a week after Katrina cash was useless because everything was closed. Then I remember having to shop in a Walgreens that didn’t have electricity and the manager was ringing people up with his solar calculator. He would let us customers into the store two at a time. We were so grateful.
He couldn't afford to leave the city but didn't pay rent for 2 months. He said he had proof of an agreement but couldn't show anything. He's struggling as a single dad but can afford to move into a more expensive apartment. Yeah, we see what's going on
Anyone from Florida knows that you get cash out of the bank before a hurricane and you don’t spend it on supplies. You use a card for those and save the cash.
The defendant should get a representative if he ever has to appear in court. I have a feeling that this is just who he is. It's a compulsion. JJ only entertained him for entertainment purposes. This could have been longer but she'd had enough of him. Always the victim.
That's very petty if that condo charged for him taking benches apart during a hurricane to board up windows. If that's the real truth of it. Dang this defendant don't know when to stop talking.
I literally just watched a People's court where Judge Milan clarified that eviction is a formal process involving court. To me its the same thing in their context, but in a legal context its different.
It makes me so mad that most other Judges would find in favor of the defendant now a days. Everyone is so scared of being unfair to a supposed “victim” that bad people are allowed to get away with not paying rent. I wish all Judges were like Judy.
I didn't believe the person suing he seemed like a liar he looked for the check the whole time and never found it he only won because the other guy wouldn't shut up.
Riddle me this. How does one "seemed like a liar"? So, he didn't produce a check right then, doesn't mean he lied about it. Anything else that stood out like a red flag? Enlighten me, please.
Does anyone know what statute the defendant is referencing? After searching a bit, the only thing I could find is that in the event that the residence is sufficiently damaged, then the contract/lease is terminated. But since the defendant keeps claiming to have “protected the property”, that means it wouldn’t have been damaged enough to warrant their lease being terminated. And thus, they’re still liable for October’s rent (on top of September’s, which doesn’t sound like they were being absolved of and just that they were given an extension on). But yeah, if anyone knows the laws there better or has a better idea of what to search, I’d be interested in learning more about what law this defendant thinks is going to justify not paying two months worth of rent on top of any other damages that he incurred.
I have a feeling that's exactly the statute he's referencing, but like most people on this show who "know the law" he misinterpreted it to his advantage 😂
This defendant is obnoxious. Truth aside, he sunk himself just by constantly interrupting Judge Judy. Even IF what he was saying was true you can't win a case by talking over the judge every time she tries to say something.
Omg! The defendant reminds me of the plaintiff who refused to return the deposit for motorcycle rental at thanksgiving, even though the defendant canceled the reservation the next day. She would not shut up at all! This guy is as annoying as she was. I would love to see those two together.😊
It was the responsibility of the condo's *owner* to prepare and protect his own real property~not his renter's. This defendant not only was acting on the instruction of owner, exhausting what ltd funds and using the few resources made available to him, in an effort to secure and prevent damage to owner's property. He had also paid every month for four years before disaster struck and simply lacked a safety net~since, like so many today he lived paycheck to paycheck merely to house and feed his children (more than I can say for some fathers). However the attitude of JJ (who owns $50M real estate portfolio incl luxury homes in FL, NY, CT, RI and CA) toward this defendant's hardship was, 'Well my $10M winter home is in Naples too~and if I can fly my private jet to one of my other mansions until renovations are complete then you should be able to too!" (Nevermind that in the aftermath of hurricane it disabled nearly all housing and lodging, utilities, roadways, emergency supplies, grocers, hardware stores, support services, gas stations, vehicles, buslines, banks and even airports) I love JJ but she can be painfully out of touch with responsible everyday people who may simply be without the same financial cushion, good health, success or privileged life she's enjoyed. It's disappointing when she fails to discern even between welfare scammers, freeloaders, squatters and those who abuse the system.. vs decent people who~even after years of working hard, paying their bills on time, supporting their families, paying into SS, repaying student loans~may at some point thru no fault of their own be disabled, laid off, suffer a personal tragedy or even face a natural disaster (I've lost count how many times she's shamed someone in her courtroom for being on SSD calling it 'welfare' despite being unable to collect a dime one hasn't paid into SS system) Many of whom worked as hard or harder than her until struck by an illness or accident. It's wonderful she's enjoyed the health and strength which allowed she and her Hb to cont working, raising a family to provide them with financial security. I'm sure encountering her share of deadbeats in courtroom makes it even harder to remember not everyone struggling is lazy, irresponsible, dishonest or shifting blame. Sometimes LIFE happens. God is love +
yes it is the owners responsibility but the owner actually asked the defendant to move out so if he wanted to do any repairs or not, that was his problem. the defendant had been late many times in the past, that's why he was asked to leave. he was supposed to pay rent on the 1st and was already late, then he used the hurricane that happened over a week later to not pay his rent. he then chose to stay there another month in what he called an uninhabitable place with the excuse that he was protecting the property. he would've come up with another excuse and reason to stay another month and not pay rent again. you have gone on and on even attacking JJ but the case is simple and like she said, he is a perennial victim
Winner of the most unlikeable defendant of the year is...
I wanna slap the stuffing out of him.

But yeah, if anyone knows the laws there better or has a better idea of what to search, I’d be interested in learning more about what law this defendant thinks is going to justify not paying two months worth of rent on top of any other damages that he incurred.
I have a feeling that's exactly the statute he's referencing, but like most people on this show who "know the law" he misinterpreted it to his advantage 😂
This defendant is obnoxious. Truth aside, he sunk himself just by constantly interrupting Judge Judy. Even IF what he was saying was true you can't win a case by talking over the judge every time she tries to say something.
Sir--Pay your RENT🙄
Omg! The defendant reminds me of the plaintiff who refused to return the deposit for motorcycle rental at thanksgiving, even though the defendant canceled the reservation the next day. She would not shut up at all! This guy is as annoying as she was. I would love to see those two together.😊
It was the responsibility of the condo's *owner* to prepare and protect his own real property~not his renter's. This defendant not only was acting on the instruction of owner, exhausting what ltd funds and using the few resources made available to him, in an effort to secure and prevent damage to owner's property. He had also paid every month for four years before disaster struck and simply lacked a safety net~since, like so many today he lived paycheck to paycheck merely to house and feed his children (more than I can say for some fathers). However the attitude of JJ (who owns $50M real estate portfolio incl luxury homes in FL, NY, CT, RI and CA) toward this defendant's hardship was, 'Well my $10M winter home is in Naples too~and if I can fly my private jet to one of my other mansions until renovations are complete then you should be able to too!" (Nevermind that in the aftermath of hurricane it disabled nearly all housing and lodging, utilities, roadways, emergency supplies, grocers, hardware stores, support services, gas stations, vehicles, buslines, banks and even airports) I love JJ but she can be painfully out of touch with responsible everyday people who may simply be without the same financial cushion, good health, success or privileged life she's enjoyed. It's disappointing when she fails to discern even between welfare scammers, freeloaders, squatters and those who abuse the system.. vs decent people who~even after years of working hard, paying their bills on time, supporting their families, paying into SS, repaying student loans~may at some point thru no fault of their own be disabled, laid off, suffer a personal tragedy or even face a natural disaster (I've lost count how many times she's shamed someone in her courtroom for being on SSD calling it 'welfare' despite being unable to collect a dime one hasn't paid into SS system) Many of whom worked as hard or harder than her until struck by an illness or accident. It's wonderful she's enjoyed the health and strength which allowed she and her Hb to cont working, raising a family to provide them with financial security. I'm sure encountering her share of deadbeats in courtroom makes it even harder to remember not everyone struggling is lazy, irresponsible, dishonest or shifting blame. Sometimes LIFE happens. God is love +
yes it is the owners responsibility but the owner actually asked the defendant to move out so if he wanted to do any repairs or not, that was his problem. the defendant had been late many times in the past, that's why he was asked to leave. he was supposed to pay rent on the 1st and was already late, then he used the hurricane that happened over a week later to not pay his rent. he then chose to stay there another month in what he called an uninhabitable place with the excuse that he was protecting the property. he would've come up with another excuse and reason to stay another month and not pay rent again. you have gone on and on even attacking JJ but the case is simple and like she said, he is a perennial victim
You sound like a “perennial victim” yourself.
Simple answer is renter's insurance for 24 bucks a month.
"Perennial Victim" dedcribes many folks these days 🥺
