I absolutely LOVE his argument for why he should get the late fees back: "I get paid on the 10th, so of course it's his fault that rent is due on the 1st!!" I'm amazed he was able to say that with a straight face.
before people decide to sue , they need to ask themselves if the other side will have anything at all that they can reasonably counter sue for , and if the answer is yes then DONT SUE .
Some apartments rent is due on the 1st but the grace period is the 5th and that's the day the notice that tells them they have x number of days depending on the laws in your area for filing the non payment F.E.D. filed with the court that will be sent via process server that shows court date and amount owed and date you have to be gone by 😀
This guy committed perjury at least three different times: about the stove, the lease and the security deposit. Judge Mathis would've thrown him out and given the defendant everything just for that alone!!!
Judge Mathis being an emotional, self serving mess. So proudly proclaiming to be a street Judge and it definitely shows. Mans just proud to be a judge doesn't uphold a thang lol
@@jjman533Not sure what you mean. The man didn't have free rent. Social Service only gave him the security deposit. People don't get free rent except if they don't have any income. Most pay a portion of their rent depending on their income. So it's not free. And they are responsible for utilities. So nothing's free.🤔
its always the tenant stayed in "DEPLORABLE" conditions, their health was at risk, blah blah and then decide to sue at the very end of the lease.... thats not how it works ever lol
The plaintiff believed the defendant owed him forever for his help with the drug dealers. He caused his own problems and then expected to cash in because of it.
It shouldn't be a huge shock that the plaintiff called the city to complain about the apartment because he had already established being a snitch with the drug dealer situation.
So strange that a tenant would start looking for a money grab after all the kindness was thrown his way. And now he has to pay the landlord for back rent that was once a gift.
If your rent is due on the 1st, you pay on the 1st - not on the 10th. Your salary schedule is not an excuse for being late with your rent. You just need to learn to budget for the days your bills are due. It's called adulting. It can be difficult at first, but it gets easier as you go if you write it into your monthly budget. Just don't give up. And definitely harp on landlords who shirk their responsibilities. Don't let them get away with their duties, especially when you pay your rent every month on time. Fair is fair.
Who sues for money they never paid but a person expecting to leave embarrassed and owing what he didn't pay. He woke the sleeping bear just to get bit 🙄
For any landlords…just a tip Collect first AND LAST MONTHS rent including security, so they can’t skip out on the last month without paying. It’s more expensive for the occupier…but it’ll more often than not give you a tenant who will actually have intentions to pay…
The judge did listen completely and didn't understand on how in the hell the plaintiff was not aware about the late fees when he clearly said he been paying the late fees. Another idiot tried to fool the judge to get what he wanted it. HELLO!!!
That was not an accumulation of dust behind the stove. Sorry but those were definately mouse droppings. You could clearly see that from the photo. Those small rice shaped black thingies are mouse droppings.
I think these tenants on welfare etc, don't care about their apartments bc its not costing them 🙄 AND even tho he lost the show pays, so hes not out a dollar.
Ok, I have a huge problem with this plaintiff. If the apartment had all these issues, why would you stay there, especially if you have an 11 year old!!! Then this dude wants the defendant to pay him for all of his shortcomings and all of his "so called" misfortunes. The defendant is not unreasonable.
It's hard to give a definite answer on who's more shady. The landlord is there to make money and to keep GOOD tenants. I've seen tenants in the condo building I live in, play the system, and abuse it! However, I've also seen the reversal. Every situation is different!
This is the very first time in People's Court history that Judge Milian actually used the term "cell phone" instead of "telephone." Always drove me crazy whenever she asked a litigant "do you have a telephone? Then why didn't you take pictures?"... people don't even use the word 'telephone' anymore unless they're talking about a landline. I've been waiting for years for her to say "do you have a cell that takes pictures?" The day has finally come! :)
dude didnt even know if he had a furnished stove on the property. the extra month would have been the deposit - most likely. he was an obvious slum lord
It always makes me laugh when defendants take plaintiffs to court and have to end up paying😂 Greed is a he'll of a thing. He should have just walked away, he thought he'd be a hero for giving evidence about drug dealing going on.
Landlords kill me, why in the world would they think someone would want to live with mice and roaches. Knowing they wouldn’t even live in them conditions🙄 it’s hard to get rid of roaches 🤮
I took a drink every time the plaintiff said "actually" and now I'm drunk.
I did same and liver failed
😂😂😂😂😂
Its 5 oclock my time
😂😂😂😂
Stop lying
He can't give any answer to "how are you suing for a month you didn't pay" 🤦
What a moron he is

The plaintiff got his power trip working briefly with the cops and wanted another 15 minutes of fame and significance.
And worked with the slumlord. LOL!
Right. He’s a weirdo
Exactly
Ahh! Another "If only the judge had let me keep talking instead of ruling, I'm sure I could have talked her into seeing it my way" plaintiffs.
I lost because the judge didn't look at all my evidence!.....um, she asked to see your evidence, right?
This gets me every time or when they say “she didn’t give me a chance to explain” LOL 😂

Sometimes it’s already in the file and she just wants to see original

The tenant is a serial victim. I wouldn't want him as a tenant either.
Plaintiff ain’t quite right.

Imagine all the other things he's lying about to get free tax payer subsidized housing.

Drug dealers, mice, rodent poop, roaches... yuck. The defendants have to get it together. That's really dangerous.. and gross.
That's literally every bad tenants excuse. You'd be surprised what they come up with.
"That's actually the mice droppings themselves"
😂😂😂😂
Plaintiff was probably thinking “damn, that’s a good point. I should have thought about tripping on the linoleum to sue the landlord”
That’s the joke.
I read the comments for the sole purpose of finding someone else who was irritated by this.
Greed cost the plaintiff $750. If the defendant had 'before' pictures, he could have gotten more.
Yup trying to get money out of thin air. Never even made a security deposit, but he's suing for one. Tax payers are paying for this guy's housing.
Their shirts look like a Tide commercial. Before and after 100 washes

The plaintiff used the word “itself” about 20 times in this case
Did you take a drink every time 😂
And “actually “
Reading this before watching made it so hilarious 😂😂😂
I hate when at first you side with the plaintiff on his argument, but then you find his lawsuit is a cash grab !! Greedy
He should've just let it go but he got too greedy!!!
“ITSELF “ was his favorite word 😭😭
Man Alive! He should live in Manhattan! We charge mice rent 😂!
Wow, taxpayers paying for his rent. Amazing. Greedy person.
We need a People's Court discussion groups other than TH-cam 😂 PODCAST!!!!
actually...no

I actually like that idea!😂
Let’s hope the drug dealer doesn’t watch people court 😂
exactly why would you go tv a say this
This was the most civilized case I’ve ever seen on this show. ***Also, the plaintiff reminds me of Louis Litt from Suits.
And he just got "Litt" up!
Funny, I kinda see it. 😂
Wow imagine how busy the courts would be if people just sued for random things like a month they didn’t pay rent lol 😂
How are you suing for a security deposit that you didn't even pay?
He came on TV to say he was a snitch... oh Lord, he's gone have more problems now cause he confirmed what the drug dealers thought 😭
So strange that a tenant would start looking for a money grab after all the kindness was thrown his way. And now he has to pay the landlord for back rent that was once a gift.
Love it when someone sues for silly stuff and ends up paying a counter suite LOL.

Guaranteed liver failure
Did you see the one about the spray foam and previous landlord had given permission. The lady said thank you Jesus 😹 loved it
I love this show, "itself"
😂
Jesus Christ the plaintiff needs to slow down he’s talking way too fast 😂
Does anyone else's head hurt listening to the plaintiff's testimony?
10:23 BOOYAH!!!! Plaintiff forgot to fall on the linoleum. TRUE!!!!!
Great Afternoon 🌅😊
Awesome afternoon to you...
❤
Judge Judy would have said “IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, MOVE!!!!” 😂😂😂😂
So true.
Of course the government was helping pay for his apartment.

The way he puffed up his actions in "helping" with the defendants case with the city vs drug dealers set off my spidey senses 🕷!
So the plaintiff was a snitch lol
Oh shut up
@@mamathemeathe is though. Not the sort of thing you should be saying on national tv.

10:10 Defendant is BLIND if he got confused about the floors. The linoleum floors were FALLING APART. There was NO FLOOR LEFT.
Imagine denying that different breeds of dogs have particular dispositions. Oh, wait...

These intro’s are getting funnier
Ungrateful person the plaintiff
Just because you know how to sue doesn’t mean you should… 👀
Bad suit, ok? 😅😅😅 Doug be cracking me up. But the plaintiff is a complete airhead for even bringing this to court 😂
That was not an accumulation of dust behind the stove. Sorry but those were definately mouse droppings. You could clearly see that from the photo. Those small rice shaped black thingies are mouse droppings.
$50 late fee seems more than reasonable; rent’s due on the 1st and the plaintiff wasn’t paying until the 10th.. 🤷♀️
I think these tenants on welfare etc, don't care about their apartments bc its not costing them 🙄 AND even tho he lost the show pays, so hes not out a dollar.
in Germany its the same with people who receive state grants--they are the ones who always complain about certain ways of living

There's also suppose to be a pre-inspection sign off by tennant and landloard on property conditions.
Good verdict. However, Doug needs to stop saying “sorry”. It’s disingenuous at best.
It's just part of his snarkiness. He would probably say "sorry, not sorry" if he wasn't afraid of getting punched lol.
Doug is good entertainment. Shut it old lady.
Shouldve left well enough alone 😂
Serves the plantiff right 😅
judge looks amazing once again
The plaintiff had karma handed to him on a platter😆
Zinger from the judge at about (10:20).

Well if you watch Judge Judy the answer would be …MOVE!
Same thing, she didn't let me say what i wanted to. Asking landlord to pay for idiotic things.
Had to slow down the video to take in what he was saying…
The plaintiff is a liar don’t lie to the Judge . He doesn’t pay rent then expects money back . What planet is he living on ?
I'm just suing for...reasons
At the end, he really thought that there was more to say...... smh
The lady in the back with the Newport strips lol 😂
Yea I’m a smoker 😅

He should have evicted him.
Why, it’s an extra $50 p/mo income

I think the City told the plaintiff to sue and what to sue for. The City gave him some bad advice. Hence the suing for a month he didn't pay for.
Ha try to scam the system and blame the judge
Bless his heart
Did anyone notice that Doug shakes some hands but not others? Even when they put their hand out.
