@@islandsunset I took over 150 photos of issues with my condo when I started renting my place, I’ll be damned if I don’t get my deposit back in full upon moving out

When judge Judy asked if she still had the check and other proof and the lady said yes I knew right away she was going to win. Judge Judy loves her some proof and paperwork.
I am a landlord and we expect there to be a certain amount of "wear-and-tear" which is to be absorbed at no charge. Abuse is not acceptable, however. The judge was correct.
As is usually the terms of the lease. I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and my neurologist ordered a 🐕🦺 service animal for me, which needed to be a SMART dog 🤣 (so a little chihuahua wasn't going to do, obviously)... But my landlord had said NO! NO PETS!!! 👿 We were trying to work WITH her and not make it get ugly. But eventually had to point out the both the Ohio law AND the requirements of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act, which is FEDERAL). This simple statement silences ALL PIEHOLES: "All terms of lease or building occupancy which prohibit the presence of professionally trained and properly registered canine service animals assigned to the service of their handlers, who are individuals with qualifying disabilities and/or needs, on or about the premises are void."
i am a landlord. I wouildnt expect my tenants to paint the walls especially after they have been there more than 3 years or so. Its called normal wear and tear. Sure, if they had who marked the walls up, that is another story
I work as a landlord tenant attorney. There are many things you don't want to mess with as a landlord and one of those things is the security deposit. In some states, a landlord can end up owing a tenant 3x the security deposit if they play games like these landlords are.
One potential problem is even winning in court may not get the deposit back....especially if landlord is in a different state than rental, so small claims judgement does not help when the landlord ignores it...a bank sweep does not help with landlord in different state, a lien on the property does not help if the landlord is not selling for years. Tenant never gets the security deposit. Another example, we won judgment against a contractor for the maximum $10,000 and we are still trying to collect over ten years later, despite an unsuccessful bank sweep and lien on contractor's property...hard to squeeze blood from a turnip.
I had a landlord once many years ago that told me I didn't pay the rent. Well I did. I had the cashed check. He took me to court. He not only lost but he got fined for false informing and false accused. I moved out before the court trial but I was glad he got his just reward.

When I moved from my last apartment. My old landlord came down to my new landlord and told him I’m the cleanest tenant he ever had . The apartment was so clean he rented it out a day later and he returned my full deposit back
@@smexy5111 In my 4 years stay in one apartment, I painted the walls twice (after my first two years and before I left), fixed, replaced stuff that was old or broken when I moved in and still didn't get my deposit back because the landlord didn't manage to rent his flat, although I gave him a 30 days notice and allowed visitors while I was still living there. Well, if you're in Europe, never move to Malta, even the "nicest" landlords are dickheads when it comes to money.
@@savaala8428 LOL! Obviously a life long renter. I suspect not a very good one based on your view of landords. Tenants are almost always too stupid to understand "why" anything. Yes, there are some very bad landlords out there, but there are far more really bad tenants. You should be glad people like me offer affordable housing to those who could never buy their own, otherwise where would you live?
It would be interesting to know what state this was in. In some states, when landlords wrongfully withhold money from a security deposit, they can be held liable for double or even triple the amount they tried to steal.
U tell it judge👍, some tenants leave apt and homes in such disarray and this tenant was so good to leave on such good terms by cleaning painting the place.
Horrible crooked landlord who has Been ROBBING tenants for over 30 years and getting away with it cuz people generally don’t have time to go to court to fight. I hope she got $interest$ for her effort. Disgusting Crook.
I hate when landlords just steal the security deposit for no reason. This lady was nice enough to get the place repainted and cleaned and they steal the deposit. Especially since this is the rare tenant who is a dream tenant who forked over money to these fucks every single month. They got her money every month. Fucking over a tenant like this? Bad mistake
How do you know she was a "dream" tenant? I mean, she clearly was in the right with this case but that doesn't make her a dream tenant who paid her rent on time every month. Perhaps she was but we don't know.
My last apartment complex where I stayed took most of our deposit for wear and tear but it was listed as sanitization for 'covid'... Why do I have to pay for that?
@rhoonah5849 he complained that their was some dirt under the sink as proof of damage for 1200$. If she had been late by even 1 day, he'd have countersuited her for interest or tried to pretend she had not paid rent at all for that month.
People are more focused on bad tenants than they are on bad landlords so it seems. I think there needs to be equal accountability. It’s not easy on either side but if you have a good tenant you should definitely appreciate it. I’m glad this woman is getting her security deposit back . God bless her .
So true; Judge Judy is right about her say that it's not the tenants job to have to leave the apartment rental in spotless/clean condition for new renter to go into without land lord going into to do their work of which the land lord job are supposed to go into the apartment to paint and do the flooring and to make sure all appliances and other in the apartment are in decent condition for their next rental tenant to occupy the apartment/housing rental. 👌
Thank god my last landlord was very kind. There were small damages when I left the apartment, which was totally my fault. I told her I'll just pay for the damages before I leave, she inspected the apartment first and asked me to show her the damages. She laughed when she saw it, and told me it was fine as she was going to renovate the apartment anyway.
I've been pretty lucky with having decent landlords, for the most part. I've heard of horrible landlords from so many friends and family. I also know some people in the business that have really horrible tenants, too. I'm so glad I was able to get my own home instead of renting.
That’s right Judge Judy, how many times I’ve come upon landlords that expect the tenant to make the place ready for the next one. All the tenant is supposed to do is clean like anyone normally would, get all of the stuff out. These landlords wouldn’t return the deposit because of a stain under the kitchen cabinets…..lol l
Even then sometimes they try to pull stuff when the place is spotless. I moved out of one place and had two weeks left on the rent. When I came to clean, the landlord had allowed their cleaning staff to come in when they were not allowed to enter. They stole my vacuum broom mop etc. I went down and chewed him out for allowing them to enter illegally when I still had two weeks of tenancy. They had done less cleaning than I would have also! I ended up with every penny back and the return of my property. I told him I was filing a police report otherwise as he aided thieves in entering by giving them a key!
I can honestly say that I am a good tenant. I've been told by my landlords that they love having me & my daughter as renters. I am a bit of a neat freak & my place is clean all the time. Its a good feeling going home from work or from where ever you are knowing how clean & beautiful your home is!
My mom was like that. You could lick her floors. One of the best feelings as a kid was getting into bed at night and smelling the bleach and tide on my fresh sheets.
Thank you! I'm tired of landlords like this. This is why I stopped renting places! I would clean so well and still they would find one little thing to complain about and I never got a dime back. $2700 deposit?!? Holy cow! That's a lot!
As a former landlord these folks should be happy that she left it in such excellent condition. I had to deal with horrible tenants at times. They charged for normal wear and tear.
This one hits home for me, as a one time renter. I was leaving a room in a house, I didn't even get to the point to pay rent. I moved out before. But I knew I needed to leave that room, the same way I came in. Clean . I was told by the homeowners that I could leave a bag of trash in the room and they would dispose of it later. We didn't have the time to move my bag of trash right then and there, so they told me I could leave it. I wiped down, swept and made sure that room looked better then when I left it. But in the end I got blamed for a bag of tied up trash! and money they owed me in the end. I've learned so much from that situation. None of it never again. And the landlord sounds lax, then wants his money later. When never deserved. If she left the property in good standing then at least as a landlord you have to make it presentable for the next person and you should have a little chunk of funds to be able to support that
I voluntarily gave my lovely landlord my deposit. She was so nice to us. She helped us when we couldtn pay on time (7 days max) by not charging us late fees. When we left she was getting ready to return my deposit after checking the apartment. We did not leave it a mess but the actual structure of the condo was showing some damage. She of course, did not blame us but seem a bit sad. My heart broke and told her, keep the deposit.
exactly it's a scam......landlords will make any excuse to keep part or whole of deposit..... because most tenants won't compliant or sue..... Thumps up JJ
I did the same thing, left my apartment spotless and damage free, with photos and videos taken before I left, my crocked Landlord held my deposit and wanted to give me $125 dollars of a $1000 deposit back, he claimed he needed to buy "cleaning supplies" and change two light bulbs.
It's obvious the landlord here believes that any cost to prepare the apartment for a new tenant should come out of the deposit, which is absurd. Anything that is the responsibility of the landlord before the tenant moved out can't be charged to the tenant after they move out, such as a leaky faucet.
Landlords will try this scam all the time. You can walk them through at the end of your lease and they will say it's good then take your deposit. Need to take pictures before you move in and after you leave then take them to court and warn other tenants. Or just leave without paying the rent that equals the deposit since that's the game they force you into.
Yup. Pictures video and inspection check list. I had one who illegally sent in a cleaning team while i had not vacated fully. I still had paid rent for another week. They actually stole some of my cleaning supplies! When I arrived to clean and stuff was gone I went to the office. I got my stuff back and they did not try to hold any security. They were famous for keeping the deposit. When I told them they broke the law by entering without 48 hours notice and reason they couldn’t refund me fast enough
When I was younger, my mom cursed out my landlord because he wouldn't give me my deposit the day I moved out even though he was there and able to inspect the property fully. She did this because, as a young mother, she would get screwed out of her deposit time and time again. The landlord gave me the deposit weeks later, but I'll always wonder if it was because my mom tore his ass out 🤣
Oof i remember my first time i got to rent a room when i was young. Apparently there hasnt been water for 2 days and the landlord didnt give a shit. Always wanted to be paid in cash because for sure the moment he got it on his bank the company that delivers g/w/e Takes it from the bank and he doesnt want that. Luckily my dad was with me and he kinda forced him to fix this problem immediatly and not in a few days, which was an obvious excuse. Luckily i lived there only 4 months until i found something new.
1. Says she is sympathetic to landlords but always sides with tenants 2. Says they will shut off a chatty person's mic but it never happens 3. I keep watching the reruns
In Australia, your only obligation as a tenant is to leave the property “reasonably clean”. There is no tribunal here that would have thought otherwise of those photos. Also in Australia, you are NOT required to steam-clean carpets unless the agreement you signed at the time of the lease lists it as a requirement - except in NSW, where they can’t make you do it at all.
When I used to rent I always ALWAYS insisted that the landlord walk through the place with me on the day that I moved in and on the day that I left. On one occasion we got to the living room where the landlord had written that there was a stain on the carpet when I moved in .. and it wasn't there anymore .. and the landlord actually said to me ''There is supposed to be a stain on the carpet by the window'' in a way that sounded like he was going to charge me because I had cleaned it off 🤪 !
13 years of renting taught me: do an initial walkthrough and take time stamped photos, and be sure to do the same before you leave (after your stuff has been cleared out)
Wow, not like that in Australia! Renters must return the properties immaculately.... My previous landlord tried to take $800 from my deposit because the front security door had dust on it a month after I returned the house! Absolutely "incredulous" 😅
I have my past apartment trying to charge me an additional $600 on top of the 1200 deposit they decided to keep over supposed damages, yet when i ask them what damages and for photos they can never seem to show or prove it. Im at the point of wanting to take them to court as well over this crap. The few pictures that were hung up were patched, i had a professional carpet cleaner come out and do the rooms and the rest of the place was laminated wood which i mopped before i left. Most landlords ive encountered in my life are so scummy.
1:18 "They put it in my P.O. box" That's a Federal crime. No one except the USPS and the owner of the box has the right to put ANYTHING in any P.O. box, except one of those out on the street meant to receive outgoing mail.
I just don't understand how when Landlords see damages to the house like stains and cracks, they blame their tenants? How are they so sure it's not regular wear and tear from the age of the house?
Good tenants are hard to find... Good landlords are even HARDER to find!

Luckily my dad was with me and he kinda forced him to fix this problem immediatly and not in a few days, which was an obvious excuse. Luckily i lived there only 4 months until i found something new.
They were complaining about the GROUT???? They can't be real.
Typical landlords always nicking the deposit.
Hallo how are you doing
1. Says she is sympathetic to landlords but always sides with tenants
2. Says they will shut off a chatty person's mic but it never happens
3. I keep watching the reruns
i just found out this judge,shes savage
and i like it :))
0:25 I THOUGHT THAT THE GUY IN THE BACK IS RYAN RENOLDS
I love when JJ really gives the landlords hell over their abuse of the security deposit. Good for her!
Gurl she repainted it for them?? That’s really nice of her; I don’t think that’s required.
In Australia, your only obligation as a tenant is to leave the property “reasonably clean”. There is no tribunal here that would have thought otherwise of those photos.
Also in Australia, you are NOT required to steam-clean carpets unless the agreement you signed at the time of the lease lists it as a requirement - except in NSW, where they can’t make you do it at all.
Most landlords would be lucky to have such a tenant.
They must've been really lousy landlords for her to leave the apartment.
Why wasn’t the conclusion shown? You left this in limbo.
The P was so organized... very impressed. Glad she won her case
When I used to rent I always ALWAYS insisted that the landlord walk through the place with me on the day that I moved in and on the day that I left.
On one occasion we got to the living room where the landlord had written that there was a stain on the carpet when I moved in .. and it wasn't there anymore .. and the landlord actually said to me ''There is supposed to be a stain on the carpet by the window'' in a way that sounded like he was going to charge me because I had cleaned it off 🤪 !
13 years of renting taught me: do an initial walkthrough and take time stamped photos, and be sure to do the same before you leave (after your stuff has been cleared out)
Well it's obvious I clean too much when we move out of a house lol
Every landlord has actually thanked us for the spotless house we left behind! 😂
“fix it!” 😭
Wow, not like that in Australia! Renters must return the properties immaculately.... My previous landlord tried to take $800 from my deposit because the front security door had dust on it a month after I returned the house! Absolutely "incredulous" 😅
The landlords look like a cannibalistic couple in a horror film.
The tenant sounds like an old neighbor i had in some apartments. Her voice absolutely annoyed me 😅😖
She left a fingernail! on the floor! so I kept her $5k deposit your Honor!.
Slumlords!!!
I love the plaintiffs voice. Studio ready.
I have my past apartment trying to charge me an additional $600 on top of the 1200 deposit they decided to keep over supposed damages, yet when i ask them what damages and for photos they can never seem to show or prove it. Im at the point of wanting to take them to court as well over this crap. The few pictures that were hung up were patched, i had a professional carpet cleaner come out and do the rooms and the rest of the place was laminated wood which i mopped before i left. Most landlords ive encountered in my life are so scummy.
That's what these apartment complexes do as well. They will find any little thing to keep your deposit.
The plaintiff is not someone to be played with, she came prepared, they came clowning.
She'd make a good lawyer actually
Is there a part 2???
Landlords try to get over
Landlords are becoming pure evil fascists! Greedy gouging criminals!
1:18 "They put it in my P.O. box" That's a Federal crime. No one except the USPS and the owner of the box has the right to put ANYTHING in any P.O. box, except one of those out on the street meant to receive outgoing mail.
Byrd be looking like he don't want to touch the evidence.
I love it when litigants are prepared and ready to roll with their case. I'm guessing JJ does too 🤣
❤ judge judy
Landlords are always terrible people. Observe how villainous these folks look.
Not always. My last landlord was the best I could’ve ever imagined. Always going above and beyond for my family & me .
I spy something with my little eye and it’s called a scamming landlord
She’s a good honest tenant, however he’s a terrible dishonest money grabbing landlord and I’m glad JJ saw through his bs!
I just don't understand how when Landlords see damages to the house like stains and cracks, they blame their tenants? How are they so sure it's not regular wear and tear from the age of the house?
Landlords will keep deposits to use to do things that are their responsibility before they move in another tenant. It's wrong, and illegal.
