$1,000 to rent a room??? Have people lost their minds?!?
Well the room comes with everything tho....kitchen, living room, bathroom.
And includes all utilities.
It's like renting a 2bd room apt for 2k a month
Rents have gotten out of control nearly everywhere. We need rent control.
That's more than my mortgage.
She didn't care how much it cost she knew she wouldn't pay it anyway
That is a third of what a room costs in NYC.
Why didn’t they do a walkthrough? Then both parties could see the premises.
I agree. There should've been a walkthrough with the tenant vacating the premises and the manager/ owner so that both parties can come to a consensus that the place was, in fact, clean or dirty.
It's very telling that when questioned(after the video), the Defendant said she had photos of the "living conditions", not "how it was left". And, she changed her story about there being trash and needing to pay for it to be cleaned. All of a sudden, after the video, there was "no trash" left behind. I saw the photos and thought the Plaintiff was in for it. Good thing she had the video. It's crazy how some people can lie so easily and change their story when evidence is later produced.
The minute the defendant was proven to be a liar the case should have been called. You shouldn't have to go to court to get your security deposit back, and it calls into question everything the landlord said.
Justifying the story to fit their desire, which is a fictional portrayal of reality. That’s what I told our boys when they were kids and lying to me. It worked because it gave them just enough time to figure out what I was saying and what it meant before I brought the subject of the lie up. I caught them off guard every time!
Why would the plaintiff leave food lying around. By look of things, she was trying out for supersize me the sequel
@@philipposkasotis8658 I'm sure such a perfect specimen like yourself, healthy mind, body, spirit, soul, would understand nothing of what someone dealing with depression for example, leads the person depleted of energy to do very easy actions.
You're perfection so, ya know, you just wouldn't understand.
I'm sure you keep your home squeaky clean. Right? At all times. Anyone can just pop in and nothing will be out of place. Right?
Of course.
Such. Perfect.
Landlords seem to think security deposits are their profits. 3 landlords, 3 small claims , 3 wins. So many people don’t even bother to try to get their security back.
" Don't have time to take out garbage?" Who believes that?
She was far too busy eating fast food
Yes but landlord made it seem like this her excuse on moving out. But yea fast food lingering leaves smell
Judging by her size and what she eats, I believe it.
I said that to when I first move out on my own, 2 weeks later 30 flies in the hpuse, fly eggs, maggots, maggots caccoon surround my bin, inside my bin and crawling around my bin, after that the bin area is high priority for me hahahaha
So none of you watched until the end? She did remove all the trash.
JJ: “It’s because you were a pig”
Defendant: “Right”
😂
Right why would she agree being a pig😂😂😂
She didn’t have time to take her trash out.
*Plaintiff
Cause she is hahahaha
$1,000/month for one room is highway robbery.
Depends on location. It would cost higher in NYC or San Francisco
I agree,two hundred and fifty dollars a week is ridiculous.
Who are you suggesting is robbing who? The landlord can offer to rent at whatever they want, and the tenant can offer to pay whatever they want.
The landlord offering a room for rent by any tenant at $10,000/mo, and the tenant offering to rent a room from any landlord for $10/mo does not mean that any tenant is required to accept the landlord’s rate, or that any landlord is required to accept the tenant’s rate.
The landlord wants to charge as much as they can, and the tenant wants to pay as little as they can. There’s nothing remarkable or surprising about that. That’s a textbook arm’s length transaction.
@@davidb4113 your absolutely right.a landlord charges what he or she wants to.eleven yrs aga I worked at a place that was a restaurant and they rented rooms upstairs.the rent back then was $175 a week.and it went up every couple of months.i heard the man telling people that is what he wants for his rooms and anyone can move whenever they want to.
World wide, inflation is killing everyone. People are renting out balconies with no issue's
A lying landlord. I would not have given her a cent except for the carpet cleaning bill.
"I didn't have time to take out the trash" is the weakest excuse for not cleaning up after yourself
I don't have time to take out the trash, but I don't want to invite the rats neither. 😂
I have the time I’m just lazy.
It was all the way at the back. I mean come on... that is very difficult.
Ain’t nothing worse than a nasty person!!🙅🏾♀️👎🏾
@@jacejohnson7113 Pigs are the only animal I know of that lives eats and shits in the same place
@@markbrandon7359🐷🐽🐖
@@markbrandon7359 Maybe this tenant did too 😆
The pictures of her tenancy "during" were F gross 🤢
She left it clean
My parents had pigs and said that they actually have a separate space for each. So technically she is worse than a pig. I too remember pigs always eating in the front of the cage, sleeping to the right and doing business on the left.
Why was the landlord going into the room while she was still living there? I rent a house and i would be angry if the landlord tnought they could come and go as they pleased.
The plaintiff should be ashamed to pursue a case where the world can see she’s nasty! 😳🥴😂
trashy people thinks the world owes them something.
Not really. She shows video of the day she moved out. It doesn't look a nasty mess.
The pictures shown of her room are before she moved out. Which is rude, because any sane person would clean up before the landlord will inspect and take pictures.
@@KenyanBunnieIf the landlord was entering the room while thr plaintiff still lived there and didn't give 24 hour notice, the landlord can get into major trouble. It's sounding like the landlord was making reasons to keep the entire security deposit.
@@KenyanBunnie that’s my point. Nasty was the way she lived. Not the way she moved out! But maybe that’s just the norm for some. 🤷🏾♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a messy room too, but it's clothes and old boxes, I never leave food in my room longer than an hour or two. That's how you get pests. 🤢🤢
That is so embarrassing for a landlord to bring pictures where the whole world can see how nasty someone was living. That's why you suppose to keep your apartment, room you rent, or house clean because you never know when someone will take pictures and embarrass you and show others. Plus, I can't stand a person who let garbage pile up in a house and rather live in funk and filth than go to the dumpster or trash cans outside its ridiculous.
The landlord is lucky she got her to leave. I just had to clean up after a tenant who was evicted through the court system, and it took 2 people 2 days to clean ONE BEDROOM. 15 bags of garbage, rental of a commercial carpet shampooer, drug paraphernalia, chicken bones, dirt in the carpet. A landlord's nightmare.
@@shakirahgraham39 Legally, the landlord is supposed to give the renter 24 hour notice before entering the home/room.
@@mindimartian9821 Oh my goodness! That is terrible!
She really didn't want to give up that $500 deposit 😂😂😂.. just lying to jj... I'm surprised jj didn't call her out on her lies.. yes the lady was a filthy pig, but she didn't leave the room like that like she claimed.. she cleaned it up.. the landlord said there was trash..but even her own witness said there was no trash.. yet she showed jj a pic of a trashy nasty room stating it was taken on the day the tenant moved out. I dont think she should've been given anything cause she lied. If she lied about the trash, what else is she lying about?🤔
I was thinking the same thing!
Cleaning the bathroom should be normal wear not 200$ to clean video shows it was fairly clean nothing a little scrubbing and cleaning for 30 mins
Gross!!! I would be scared of mice and bugs coming to bite me
“I did not have time to take the trash out…”
That’s code for “I was too lazy and just didn’t care to take the trash out.”
It's really just code for "I'm a pig".
Listen, I live alone in a small two bed one bath apartment, but when it comes down to cleaning it feels like an estate. I just manage to take out the trash when I leave for work.
“I did not have time to take the trash out…” sounds like a lazy slob excuse to me. MAKE TIME! 😖
Short and sweet! Thank you Judge Judy!🙂
“Next time don’t be a pig” 😭😭
I was paying $750 five years ago for a room in the Seattle area. Included utilities, and I had a dog. Bargain! But I had to help with the housework and yard work which I did gladly. I think plaintiff is being a bit entitled and probably why she was asked to leave.
I wouldn't be participating in no housework or yard work, that's bananas!! They can afford to pay someone else to do that.
$750 in rent is thanks enough. I'm not reverting to being a teenager in someone's home
The defendant doesn't deserve a dime.
I disagree. She lived there like a slob. That’s nasty she can live in her own property that away not as a renter.
@@clasijasi So that makes it okay for the defendant to lie and gouge her tenants?
I agree I don’t like her she’s a liar
@@clasijasi WRONG. Defendant LIED and pretended that the photos of the garbage were accurate to being STILL INSIDE THE ROOM at the time of moving out. That's a lie.
She just told the world she lazy and nasty. She didn't have time to take out the trash. PLUS the trash can was far off from the house. She looks able bodied. The landlord shouldnt have gotten a penny she was misleading with those pictures.
The landlord was showing HOW SHE LIVED (illegally entering the room), *not* HOW SHE LEFT IT. Kind of misleading.
How does the defendant get a dime for lying under oath! I would think any judge would find that disrespectful 😮😮😮
I don't understand how ppl can live in filth.
I have a 4/2 and 3 unused bedrooms..
You mean I could be making an extra $3k a month but I’ll be subjected to crazies
Not worth it 😅
It really is NOT WORTH IT unless you need the money.
We've rented 3 bedrooms in a 7 bedroom house (for 10 years) and the tenants are a chore.
One pulled a gun on us (and went to jail), one was a pig (court eviction), one was a bedwetter (in her 50's), one shoved me on the day he left. The rest have been normal and a pleasure.
Why would you want to give up your privacy? I could do the same, but my privacy is worth much more than that. I think you’d be sorry if you did.
There are too many crazies out there!
Don't do it. Everybody goes on about how landlords are scumbags and tenants are victims but the tables have very much turned. If you bring in tenants and they destroy the place you're more likely to get the shaft these days. The prospect of renting out property terrifies me, I'd only do it if I was filthy stinkin rich and could afford to occasionally take a hit, and if it wasn't in my personal home.
Dang I’m never this early
You forgot to say “first bitches” lol
I am not familiar with rental laws in the USA, but in New Zealand, it is illegal for a landlord to retain the security deposit, which is called the "bond." The bond is held by a third party, the rental tribunal department. If a landlord wants to keep the bond for any reason, they must prove to the tribunal department why they are entitled to do so.
America is a huge country. Not the same.
@@Pa-we1lw But courts are local to counties, so no reason this couldn't be done in the US
The last scene 😆😆😂
She was nasty but the landlord lied though.
If you look closely, she showed it on TH-cam
Irrelevant to the case, but I like the defendant's eyebrows 😊
They're eyebrows. 🤷♂️
@@janinecarson8380all eyebrows aren’t equal.
I would have awarded her all the money she wanted because Defendant LIED and pretended that the photos of the garbage were accurate to being STILL INSIDE THE ROOM at the time of moving out. That's a lie.
Stern authoritative 😂😂😂
A librarian, perhaps? 🤔 😂
A whole GALLON of bleach for one bathroom?? Someone is exagge-lying.
Due diligence? I doubt she even know what that means.
I believe the landlord, that was probably a before video and not after. I have a before video of my apartment when I moved in 2 years ago, if I upload it to TH-cam today it will be a different time and date as when it was first recorded.
So you actually don't believe the tenant then? And the metadata of the video would include the date it was recorded. If the plaintiff ONLY had the video uploaded to TH-cam I'd be suspicious. Didn't need to get into all of that for this case though, we're only talking about $500.
@@timothyhh sorry I misspoke, I believe the landlord
The thing about taking pictures and videos from your phone it states the time and date on it. Can’t cover that up
@@gloriabornn9232 yeah but we didn't see that part, what we and Judge Judy saw were the video that was clearly uploaded to TH-cam and that could have been the day she left after the place was clean, or the day she left before it was clean. We don't know for sure what day that video was first taken.
@@RomaroBrandon I would agree with you but even her friend that went in the house stated there was no garbage but it did smell bad in the room.
I’ve seen very bad landlords and very bad tenants. In this case I think tenant like to eat and of course it’s stinks. And landlord didn’t like the smell of the food because she don’t eat . 🙄. I understand both parties. Young tenants must really carefully choose the property when renting . !!! That’s important.
Eating in bedrooms is disgusting
I agree anywhere besides kitchen or dining room is just nasty that's what they are for
$1,000/month for a room?? Goodness me, did that also come with a free weekend stay at the Ritz Carlton
"Yakety Yak Don't talk back!"
I sing that song three or four times a week as I gather up the trash and take it to the garage … but then I stop singing when I take it out to the the wheelie bin because I don’t want my neighbors to think I’m unhinged! 😂😂🗑️
@@ImOnAJourney I got old enough (73) to not care what neighbors think about me. It's quite a freeing feeling. One thing I did learn is that even when you think you may be committing a social faux pas, others sometimes enjoy that break from the regular boring stuff. It's true. So go ahead and sing. Or maybe begin with whistling to break them in. lol I whistle in the stores a lot. And I never wore those absurd masks, either. Kind of creepy that I was the only one. Oh well, have a good day.
Lol i sang it
@@mikeyh0
I’m the same age as you are, and I hear you about the not caring part!
@@ImOnAJourney I do care but only important things. What other people think is way down on that list. Just below who's going to win the Super Bowl in 2030. I remember when there was no Super Bowl. Seems I lived before a whole lot of stuff happened. You too, huh? Harry Truman was president when I was born. I told that to someone the other day and he looked at me and asked, "Who?"
I am always amazed at the petty crap people go to court over. I could never in my mind imagine going to court over $500...the court costs, the time, the drama...stupid
$500 may not be a lot for you, but it maybe a lot to her. $500 is a full tank of gas and groceries.
She can buy a lot of McDonald’s with that $500
@@Luke-ly9qd😂 you stole my words. She looks well fed.
I've never understood how some people can live so disgustingly.
Geez, the Defendant and her witness stinks of Karen vibes.
Also, the defendant (Valerie Velardi) was Robin Williams’ first wife. For real!
This lady lied about the trash. She should have dismissed the case for perjury. And the washroom area wasn’t as bad as she claimed when the tenant left.
Exactly, in other cases Judge Judy would say: ‘I don’t believe you.’ And it was evident after the video the tenant showed that she left the house in good order.’ And the concentration of bleach is way to high and toxic to use it ‘pure’. As a punishment because the landlord lied under oath Judge Judy should have lowered the expenses related to the bathroom cause it she lied about the trash how can we believe her regarding the bathroom?
That witness spells her name like mine! Only ever met one other person with that spelling in 52 years!
Hi Melodye!
@@timothyhh 👋🏼
lol a bottle of bleach is 3 bucks at most here and paper towel 8 bucks,
maybe 50 bucks for the time but not 200 smh.
WRONG. You could NOT get a cleaning lady to come to the house for $50.
Reslly? You clean it then.
Stay away from Craig’s List…. It’s always bad news!
I found my landlord that way when I moved from one city to another. It was $400 bucks a month for a room and he never entered my space for any reason. I lived there for 7 years without any real issues. It also included washer/dryer and cable. I got very lucky.
3:34 - Interesting that the Plaintiff's video was uploaded on TH-cam which doesn't provide an accurate time stamp of when the video was created.
My next question would've been to ask if she still had the video on her phone.
Do unlisted videos even have time stamps?
Very smart to take a video of the place/room before moving out 👍🏾
Not Judy calling a plus size person, a pig, and assuming she must’ve been a mess because of missing evidence
LANDLORDS ARE LIARS.....💯
Judge Judy is very beautiful and very intelligent and the best judge ever 1:13
The thing of it is , landlords generally keep ALL of the security deposit regardless of how much they actually expend on getting the place ready for the next tenant , and very rarely are they ever held accountable for their THEFT
BS
Not true.
False. I never had a security deposit kept when I rented. Not once.
Its crazy to me there are people who are doctors or nurses with long hours at work, have kids, school, an entire house to keep up with and they have time to take out their trash but she doesn't??? What does she do that consumes every single second of her time to the point where she can't put garbage in the garbage can? 🧐🧐
I’ve found cars, jobs, furniture, and bfs on Craig’s list. This was years ago tho. Seems like it’s gone to shyte.
That use to be the price of a 2 bedroom. Times have changed
Nhin thay nguoi nay toi lai thay thich thich ho that su ho rat vui va buon cuoi. Va nhin kia trong ho mac ao that goi cam
When I rented a room... I CHANGED THE LOCKS, so the only way they wld know that it's changed is if the landladiii tried to go in WITHOUT MYYYY CONSENT 😂😂😂😂😂
NASTY NASTY NASTY !!!
1) Why do both the plaintiff and the defendant have small microphones on their shirts, and yet there are microphones on the tables?
2) What is up with that guy behind the plaintiff with the suspenders and slouching?
Times are tough past and present but you know what, iv had roomies and lived on my own , its way better to live by yourself than have drama no matter what it is... All kinds and types of people live a certain way and I'd rather do what i need to do to live the way i want and not have to answer to anyone, plus i love my privacy enough said. 😊
I would have saved up that money she was paying for a room to put a down payment on a house
Dang, I have an extra room I might rent it out for $1,000 😂
Anyone else noticing smiling lady and guy in suspenders in the last week or so of uploads, they've sat through SO many cases! 😂
Since when does she allow pay without a bill? JJ always said that if you do it yourself you won't get paid because it's not a bill
The landlord is a liar. She was going in that room without warning and taking close up pictures of specific messes then lied about it being nasty when she moved out to keep her money. JJ shouldn't have awarded her anything because the pictures are of a clean space and she exaggerated until the video was shown. She even tried to lie and say it was the move in video not knowing that videos are date/time stamped. She probably goes into every tenants room when they're not home looking through their things and looking for excuses to keep their money.
That part!
Judge Judy is so quick to take the landlord side. It’s unbelievable. Sometimes you can have a bad landlord. She needs to hear both parties first.
Never pay $1000 a month for a room
Ive seen this case before...
Very very strange
Tenant a pig landlord a wolf
🤣🤣🤣
Defendant wanted to enrich herself.
It’s more than a room; she had use of kitchen, Livingroom, presumably laundry facilities. Tenant agreed to it, it was probably a very nice home & location.
The defendant was a sneaky lil something 😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Rico Suave in the gallery is auditioning.
Don’t rent a room out if you can’t handle it. Old people think it’s gonna be just like having a kid at home but they’re a full grown adult, paying YOU. They can have whomever they want in there, and they don’t have to keep it to your standard while they’re there, period.
I see the same old giggling people in the gallery depending on who's getting it.
My issue is I used to rent out of room and I only paid $750 a month. Why are they paying $1000 a month for a room?
did it have its own bathroom ? and everything included we don't know the amenities that came with that 1000 or your 750
Thought JJ disliked being lied to.
People who take portrait mode videos when they shouldn't be. Ugh.
Was the bathroom shared or private?
Seems normal to me..smh
A GALLON of bleach…PHEW
Don't be a pig! 😂😂😂
The landlord kind of looks like judge Judy lol they look related 😂
There was no mess that I know of, is what plaintiff stated. A pig would say the same thing of a pigpen.
JJ at 1:30 🤭😂!
That's what people pay I was looking on Craigslist the other day just because I was curious even though I own my home
Ui doi oi tap hay cai lai hoi view ngay y chu that khong the tin noi view no lai hoi nhanh den nhu the du sao cung cam on cac ban nhieu vi nhu the se khien toi co tien tu nhung video ma toi da dang nhe cam on cac ban rat nhieu nhieu
Dominica if u are renting an apartment clean it
That video only shows a small portion of the room.
And her pictures were only up close.
Surprised that the defendant got a dime. She was a liar and a bully. JJ usually does not reward that behavior.
Why was she in her room?
why is she giving money to someone for cleaning themselves when she won't give money to landlords when they do their own repairs on plumbing or fixing doors or anything like that? What makes cleaning special?
Because when you're a homeowner/landlord, fixing stuff is your responsibility. But cleaning up an adult's filth is not
Wooooooooow!!! She tried to sneak the whole “tHaT’S a BeFoRe ViDeO” 🗑️
1,000 a month is normal up north …
At $1000 for a room, the landlady could have cleaned the room herself. While I understand that the owner should be allowed to rent a room or a house, one should not overcharge those who cannot afford a house of their own.
Dirty dirty
Craigslist is still alive?
1:25 A former friend of mine was like that. Never turned on the lights and the apartment reeked of garbage. He thought it was enough to just put in an air freshener.
He was probably afraid to see all the cockroaches and other bugs, a case of ‘if I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist’.
No time? Dont be ridiculous you make the time!
