- The plaintiffs rented a house from the defendant but decided not to renew the lease. The plaintiffs are in court because the defendant won't return the security deposit they're owed, so they're suing. The defendant argues the plaintiffs didn't give him 60 days' notice, so he doesn't owe anything. The defendant is countersuing for loss of rent

Case # 32-217
#PeoplesCourt #RealityTV #Court
As an out of state landlord, to have a relationship with someone that is trustworthy and responsible to manage your properties is priceless.
Yet he treated him line crap and tried to SCAM THEM
SICK. That man is a LIAR & A FAKE
HE’S S HORRIBLE PERSON & crook
Yes. Landlord should have returned the money regardless
yes it is hard to find tenants like that, I would have done anything to keep them
I just moved and spent 700 dollars to return my spot in perfect condition.
Always leave a place better than you found it.😊
This wonderful tenant should receive. MULTIPLE caretaker/property management job offers salary & free housing. You got skills!
The plaintiff was so nice, he even nodded hello to the defendant when he came into courtroom.
Handsome too
@@Mac-ze4gu😂 you're so extra honest 😅
@itsyaboi888 why you say extra? I agree he is handsome.
He knew the lease says 15 days but believes in his heart he can insist on 60 days? Cool. I believe in my heart that my rent is really $1, I'll go let my landlord know the good news!
😂😂😂😂
😂💀
Hell you don’t have to look very far. He was in this episode! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤨❤
@tashiaredd3421 Both of y'all out of control!🤣😂😂😂 I luv it here!
*Edit: I mean you and the original commenter, cuz yall got my soul chuckling!!!😆😁💕
He's been talking 2 minutes straight and still didn't state why he didn’t return the deposit
That's when you KNOW they're lying!😂
Annoying, isn’t it?
99 percent of landlords steal or try to steal the deposit , deposits should be ILLEGAL in america .
both sides are shady , the plaintiffs are able bodied young adults who played the system and got section 8 dirt cheap rent , and the landlord is a deposit thief just like most landlords . too bad white people cant get section 8 so i will just have to keep paying and working my ass off so that all the other races could get free rent .
both litigants are shady . able bodied young adults should not be getting section 8 , that should be only for the elderly and the disabled .
This landlord should be ashamed of himself. The nice tenants were right and they deserve their security. Great case
This landlord is manipulative and slippery. This is very obvious. Glad the tenants won - they deserved to prevail.
The landlord is highly practiced at sounding so sincere and magnanimous while conning people out of their just deposit return.
Ooo I learned a new word today. Thank you. “Magnanimous”. Interesting!
😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
He totally sounded like a crook from the first minute
And its good they took him to court because now the public knows that he actually ISNT a good/"nice" guy. The judge said so herself that she couldn't figure out whether he was lying or stupid or both.
BINGO
"I've helped many families." No, dude, you've lived off their backs while you party it up in Florida. Landlords like him make them all look bad.
All landlords are bad.
@@thomasfitzpatrick7786what a stupid statement. That would be like me saying all tenants are bad.
Actually two things can be true at the same time. You can help families and also make a profit.
@@mrnt1257 orr maybe you don't own multiple homes so the family that is renting could just actually buy it. Which is why all Landlords are bad and scum.
Dude did all kinds of work for him for 50 bucks a month is ridiculous.
Yeah when he said $50 that was my reaction 🤣
Unpaid property manager. He shouldnt be paying rent at that point.
The Plaintiff is a pushover
He has to be illegal
The landlord just took advantage of this young man!
Oh my gosh, you can tell in the first minute the landlord thought that he could screw him out with the 60 days
Wow Marilyn, you were on fire 🔥
You nailed the defendant!!!
Well, she is a LL, but a good one.
Landlord: He didn't give 60 days notice.
Judge: Your lease says he's only required 15 days. Why haven't you returned his deposit?
Landlord: My accountants have looked and looked, and we have no record of him ever paying a deposit.
Judge: Why did you tell him after 60 days that you would return his deposit?
Landlord: Your Honor, my yes is a yes, and my no is a no.
🤨
😂😂😂😂
And there wasn’t any damages to keep the deposit. Security deposit is for covering damaged done to the apartment. Nice try at out smarting the judge. 15 days is 15 days not 60.
Such a gum flapper
@@mamathemeat Haha. True. The more they flap, the less I believe.
Actually, the LL has 30 days after tenants leave to give them a certified letter explaining what was taken out of the deposit, and month to month, the tenants can leave within 30 days of notice to move out.
A $50 break for all that? No thanks.
Right!!!😂 crazy
Exactly… horrible!
FR😂
DA HEYELL
As a landlord
He's the reason why people hate us
It sucks that the vast majority of landlords are like him. Entitled to someone elses money and dependant on it. Which makes us the breadwinner in our landlords life.
Exactly he's a smooth talker and acts really nice and then stabs you in the back. I know so many people who had lovely landlords until it came time to leave, it seems the landlords take it personally and do everything to keep that money, which was never theirs. They only get to dip into it if there are damages.
Yep. When I was a renter I was cheated by two separate landlords. The first one kept money for things that weren’t’ even in the contract. I didn’t pursue. I was in the middle of a divorce and was too stressed to deal with a cheating landlord too. The second time the landlord kept ALL of my security deposit and I took them to court. I won! They lied at the court hearing saying there was all kinds of damage and I had kept very careful documentation that included dated move out pictures. I don’t care how nice you think your landlords is. In NC 90% of the time they are crooks. Document and take pictures! (And a warning: DON’T rent in N.C.!).
vast majority of landlords are like him
Landlords suck balls, you ain't lying
This guy was taking advantage of a good tenant. He kept his money and had no intention to return the money. He strong him along for ever because he did not think he would take him to court. What a piece of work!
"He STRUNG him along"
The landlord is the type of guys that acts nice but internally is very conniving and does not have good intentions at all. I’m glad the plaintiff won! Remaining a nice person always works for the best in the end
He's a scumbag and now the whole world knows.
Landlord doesn't know his own lease!! Talking in circles, and got all that money, and still didn't give them there security deposit!!
The defendant seems like a slumlord. Doesn’t know his lease and lies out his gums.
He's playing Monopoly.. all his properties in different states. What he forgets in his arrogance is there are PEOPLE involved who will bite back. Bravo to this couple! Only trick now will be to get this greedy a-hole to pay up.
Yes and he’s most likely never had a tenant take him to court. Manipulators believe the stories in their head and repeat thoughts over and over again.
Come on, he said "quality-type" homes 😂
Can't comingle funds from rental properties and personal funds.. as a landlord with many properties, he should know this... all funds should be held in an escrow account that is separate from his personal account...
@@bgat911 Landlords SHOULDN'T commingle funds. As this clip shows the reality is most landlords probably do use any deposits as additional rental income or a year-long, interest-free loan. I have never received a deposit back with any interest. Landlords pocket the deposit, hoping it never has to be repaid.
Kept him around for cheap labour..... what a user
Not only is Judge Marilyn a great judge, She's also DROP DEAD GORGEOUS for a 57 year old woman!
I know.
I think she looked better before the facelift and the fillers. Her face is more stiff and dead now.
They did refer to her as "America's Hottest Judge" back in the late 90s lol!
57? Dannnnnng she's gorgeous 😍
Lot's of nip/tuck and fillers. We'd all look better if we had it.
I'm always amazed at defendant's like this one. They have the ability to literally lie about everything and not even care.
I think it's bcuz they've been doing it all the time, but just never got caught. It's their default M.O.
Bravo JMM. This is WHY I watch People's Court. RAW, ACCURATE, SUCCINCT.
He’s lives in Naples but couldn’t give them that money back?? The fact that he was taking ONLY $50 off to rent for all he was doing is crazy lol He’s doing what many people do to Hispanic people
Is Naples Palm Beach? I'm from the UK so I don't know. I do know Palm Beach is what he said and that it's a very desirable and expensive area.
the tenants are LAZY - let the government pay their rent Section 8
@@decentamerican7156 if you listened the people suing were not section 8 which is why they dealt with the landlord directly. When they left he allowed a section 8 tenant to move in and used the excuse of not getting money for several months from the government as reason to withhold their deposit and security.
@@shendisackettNaples is expensive as hell and BOUJIEEE! 🥴🤣 Originally From Fort Myers 😂
@@decentamerican7156They were Not Section 8.
Any landlord should be pleased as punch to have such responsible and helpful tenants. I hope this experience hasn't ruined their goodness.
Shady landlord tried to get over on judge. Th tenant made some foolish decisions.
The landlord was shifty
An the tenant got used an strung along but wised up in the end.
@@rubylimey7614 very true
@@rubylimey7614 and the tenant is using the system. Section 8 is the biggest scam there is. sure theyre getting a government check and food stamps also
I do not think the renter made wrong decisions, because he was an honest and faithful guy. Never let the evil people change you.
This Carlos guy and his wife are genuine ,I wish there were more people like this couple.❤❤❤Neil (landrord) is smooth talker but not this time ,judge gave it back to him 😂
I wouldn’t say that landlord is a smooth talker but rather he sounds slippery, unorganized, and 2-steps around his answer. A listener just finally gets bored waiting for him to make a point. Judge MM really earns her pay trying to force a point out of him.
As soon as I the landlord spoke all I heard was “I’m a NARCISSIST!!”
Such a narcissist he thought he could actually go on the TV show and come out making money and looking good, what a moron.
The Landlord just evades every direct question he's given, and goes in circles with bullshit answers. he was very annoying to listen to!
Sounds like a politician 😂
such a slumlord. “My yes is yes and my no is no.” Disgusting. Supposedly running a business for many years, no records, uses his tenants as workers, poor business practices (no inspection, no letter, no refund). Disgusting. Plaintiff deserves double damages.
"here's the thing" always precedes the hustle
That's how Biden does it!
@@markquick3332 , agreed
Some people are delusional 🙄
I believe he also said something like, “I’ll tell you the truth.” Some people just say that, but lots of times when they say it you know they are liars.
The plaintiffs are beautiful and seem like decent people.
The defendant is a jerk, and talks in circles.
And circles and circles and circles
Her hair, I’m sooo jealous
What a bunch of bozos who are saying that since they look good and “seem like decent people“ that they should win.
The defendant is an A hole. He talks in circles used them folks to clean and run his errands with his property then stiff them on their deposit. All the while praising them for being good tenants. Wouldn't be surprised if he owes on those properties. He didn't have enough in the bank to pay up with all the money he getting 😒 🤔
The judge got this one so right. This guy was so nice to his landlord and for him to get treated like that… he obviously took advantage of him. What a horrible dude.
fly eagles fly 🦅
Damn good case. Much Respect to Judge Millian, for seeing through the landlords bullsh*t!! 💯
That man didn't answer one question
He had stories though. _🤣_
He'd make a good politician! They are all schooled in the art of speaking without saying anything. I'm from the UK but watching world news this seems to be a universal truth.
Sounds like Kamala.
It was infuriating.
Man half of the comments are thirsting for Carlos , the other is hating on landlord. 😂and I’m only a minute in!
I’m only only 21 seconds into the video and I have to say I’m thirsting for Carlos too - and I’m happily married!
Just eww. The plaintiff talks weird and isn’t attractive. 😂
Carlos is an inspiration to all the short kings 🥳
The land lord sounds like Jack Nicholson's jocker
Monkey see monkey do 😊or just women looking for attention 😊
It’s so sad how people can be greedy. Really sad.
The landlord is a moron !!! He had a great worker who was doing a lot hor him and he still could be working for him cause he is still living in Florida !!! Trust me good help is hard to fund !!
Defendant : My intention was to return the deposit….
Our neighbor used to say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I like that, so true
That's a saying most people know in the UK, well probably not GenZ.
The landlord is the kind of guy that thinks if he smiles and says things people should fall in line and not question him. ..
A whole lot of flapping gums going on with the defendant! Just pay them!
this guy is so sketchy and full of bologna that it is just incredible. Flim flam man
that sounds like something Judge Judy would say
@@msteinberg7It does!!
"Flim flam, sir....FLIM FLAM!!"
😂
I know somebody
This was one of the best cases I’ve ever seen for fairness.
this landlord rambles on without answering the question that's asked of him. I wish Judge Judy had been the one adjudicating this case
I was glad to hear when Judge said: “Don’t tell me like you are non-profit organization” when this person said: “I helped a lot of families”. He was making money! And having almost free property manager.
That landlord is talking all over the place.
Any time someone saids i have been a such and such for 35-40 -50 years there's always that one time that something goes south😂😂😂😂😂 Carlos mucho caliente🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ya’ll wildin over Carlos
My daughter's landlord was keeping her security deposit too. We took them to court and were awarded double, which they also didn't have and had to make monthly payments. Renters, don't take crap from your landlords!!
On the other hand, we once rented out our beautiful home in Ohio when we were transferred to Florida. We even paid a property manager. The renters paid with bad checks or didn't pay at all. We had to pay to go to court to have them evicted. They hadn't paid their electric bill for months. The freezer and refrigerator were full of rotten meat and other food. I had to clean all that. They left disgusting furniture and mail that was addressed to other people , and clothes. Not to mention, they never mowed the grass. The neighbors complained about the grass and I had to pay someone to go out and cut the (half acre) lawn. We had been renters a couple of times and always left the houses better than they were when we moved in. I would never want to be a landlord again!
Good people! Super humble and high integrity!
I was like “Isn’t it 30 days, to break a lease?!?”
He just wanted cheap labor, honestly he could’ve just hired the guy.
The defendant is a slimeball!
🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽love when the judge kicked him verbally “stop talking like a non profit your a business man with other properties”🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽
Love the relationship between the judge and her husband.
I know this has nothing to do with the court case, but they are just a beautiful couple!❤
Carlos is one hot tamale.
He is 😂😂😂😂
I'm not seeing what you seeing
Yessssss😂
Facts.
Yes!
The Defendant had more unbelievable & poor excuse not to give back the security payment eventhough the Plaintiff worked for him. Something is really wrong with him.
Too many drinks over years and other stuff😅
It’s sad how landlords and ppl look down on on ppl and take advantage of ppl who receives Section 8. Don’t get me wrong some section 8 tenants are horrible, but these landlords are something else
I agree!
Were these people on section 8? I don't think so.
@@Imissyoulou yes they were, he stated it a few times.
@@brianbrooks6666 no, I was in special ed. 🤷🏾♀️
They were not. When they left the testy landlord was going for Section 8 tenants.
The plaintiff dude has great eyebrows
What? They are just eyebrows🤔....
and skin.
And eyes, hair & face! 😂
And body? 🤔
I love that JM is so Gaga over her husband after 30 years .
She is mild with him compared to the court room .
I wonder how Carlos feels about all these comments about his fineness lmaooo…. I don’t even know if that’s a word!😅
It is too us! We understand you completely. 😂
Took me 3 days to see I spelled "to" wrong.🤦🏾♀️ So I might not be credible enough to answer anymore!😅🤣
his fineness,,,let me check the dictionario,,,
That guy is crazy hot 🔥 🥵
Aww I really enjoyed the two judges talk about their favorite at-home meals at the end of this clip 24:06 You can tell the love is still there between them after all these years ❤
The wife is a knockout
Her hair is beautiful
They both artractive
Yes Carlos is.
Bang bang hot lady
I’m sorry 😢 for your poor eyesight
The defendant USED the plaintiff as an employee, and got away with “compensating” him with a measly $50 per month. He took advantage of him, and he should really be ashamed of himself. Conman.
I don't think the landlord can go more than 30 seconds without lying. Meanwhile he spends the other 30 seconds bragging about what a great guy he is.
My fave is guy at the end saying it was fun watching him squirm 😂
Plaintiff is GORGEOUS.
Please clean your eyes or get glasses
He was a very good looking guy.
I wouldn't trust a word this defendant says if his tongue came notorized. What a terrible person!
LOL... his tongue came notorized
Yall going crazy in these comments over Carlos & I’m just not seeing what yall are see.. I must be blind 😂😂😂
Looks like he just woke up to me.🤷♀
Imagine him riding a bike hair blowing in the wind! 😂😂😂
I ain’t gon hold u I’m saying to myself if this nigga getting all this love I’m about to go sue somebody so I can go on the people’s court… becuz if he getting this love I kno ima get CRAZY LOVE
I think you might be. Might need to get those eyes checked. Lol
@@michellehawkins1027that's the look most pple like and want
That defendant if his mouth is moving his lying. The plaintiff is (not only gorgeous.!) a reliable honest worker that the defendant took advantage of Every chance he got!? No more.
The defendant is the antithesis of every male I cannot stand. The judge just slaps him around, nicely, but with forceful words. Love her.
@@merrymoll6101 why would you like the defendant he was an absolute ahole?
He’s the opposite of what you can’t stand? That’s what “ antithesis “ means.
TO RENTERS: Always READ AND SAVE your lease. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS. Otherwise, bye-bye $$$.
What a horrible landlord! They were really good and trustworthy. The landlord should be ashamed of himself.
"For the landlord...its always just business." Realest words from this episode. Just because your landlord is friendly with you does not mean you are friends. He will take any and every opportunity to screw you over for more money.
The landlord is horrible, just lies and believes his own lies. I bet he cheats also
Like the Donald 😅
The landlord is the type of guy who thinks he apologizes without actually apologizing
This landlord ( and like many others ) believe the security deposit is for them to keep automatically.
I love when she tears into someone bc she always does it in the most respectful but painful way lmao, she never misses
Liar liar pants on fire that landlord is a liar 😂
This landlord is a piece of work. He's now trying to say he didn't receive it.
Both of these guys could get it as far as I’m concerned!
Why the landlord lied .?
Get what??
😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@getin3949booty meat
One of the most satisfying People’s Court cases I’ve seen! 😊
Why didn't you give them there money?
First off your honor, they are the greatest two people on earth, I love them like family
“Their”
@tommyornothing7301 Thank you four correcting that.
I think that landlords not holding a security deposit in an account is often why they don’t want to give it back. They have spent it. The landlord doesn’t seem to understand the difference between 15 days and 60 days!
22:47 The plaintiff had the look on his face like he wasn’t sure what the judge’s decision meant.
What a shame if you are a landlord you know better the law. His talking like he have a lot of experience but it's nothing in the head.
The landlord should be embarrassed.
$1,600 in Elizabeth, NJ?!?
What a ripoff.
His girl could have easily said "yup, I was present for all conversations, and he definitely said what he said, on that day."
That right there tells you that they're telling the truth about the date.
I like all the people involved in this case, I think intentions were good and that they truly like each other so I hope they mend their friendship.
The landlord knew he was in the wrong.
Judge Marilyn was onto this landlord from the get go. I really appreciate the way she can see through the smokescreen and see the truth...there was no damage to the apartment and therefore no reason to withold the deposit.
The landlord doesn't even believe what he's saying
The minute he said I live in Naples, FL...
I understood the type of person he was.
That place is ruined by people obsessed with money.
Playing the rich game...on the backs of everyday good people.
👎That landlord didn't deserve those nice renters.
😮💨Sheesh.
What a wonderful good couple. Good kind people. I wish we were all like them. We would have heaven on earth.
Plaintiffs look like really decent human beings.
This judge is awesome! I am glad she rules the way she did.
I'm trying to understand what everybody sees in the plaintiff because he just looks like he is exhausted. Those eyebrows are on fleek though! 😂
😂
“I’ll just tell you the truth…”
Oh no, a lie is coming. 👀🤣
I'm Team Carlos 😁
21:29 sir who are you talking to? You’re in a court with a judge….depending on what she says, that’s your outcome. Whatever you say DOESN’T go😂😂😂
