Taking Advantage

- The plaintiff’s late mother rented an apartment from the defendant for seven years. She claims the defendant is withholding her mother’s security deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff’s mother regularly fell behind on rent, so the defendant used the security deposit to cover the late payments. The defendant says damages in the apartment exceed the amount of the security deposit. She’s countersuing for excessive damages.

The landlord thought because her tenant died, she gets to keep free money. Keeping a dead person’s money is low.
the majority of landlords will try to steal the deposit whether the tenant is alive or not .
And these are so called religious people . Funny how the true colors of people come out outside of church
Doesn’t matter is she’s gone or not.. that’s why you have a deposit to pay for damages… that’s the point of it
The majority of scammers never darken the door of a church OR they go and just warm the seat, they don't pay attention.@@robbyx6846
Who Said? She Was Trying To Keep The Security Deposit Over So Called "Damage" To The Property. But She Was Found To Be Unscrupulous By Charging The Tenant For Things That She Had Nothing To Do With. Therefore, Not Legally Responsible. The Landlord Wasn't Doing it Just Because The Plaintiffs Mother Died. 🤦🏾
She knew Martha for 8 years, conversing with her all the time and still has the audacity to try to screw over her grieving family? She’s a real piece of work. I hope current tenants of hers see this.
Exactly
Na a deposit is what damages are for. Who cares if she’s gone or not…
Landlord figured the tenant has passed and the daughter wouldn't fool with it. That mistake cost her double.
She doesn't really mind because the show pays the judgment so she doesn't really lose anything (except being shown on t.v. "losing")
The fact that she was well aware of the multiple areas of leakages while Martha was residing there, however ignored it all while knowing Martha was battling a cancer/sickness for many years is alone absolutely horrendous!! The fact that when Martha unfortunately passed away and the landlord became fully aware of the severity of her properties issues and the conditions Martha ultimately was living in yet never complained about, such as heating issues and plumbing issues caused by the improper installation of ALL pipes and such due to the negligence of inspector's, contractors, construction staff and the property owner for not ensuring proper installation and inspection before marketing the property, yet she still attempted to take advantage of the situation and withhold a 9 year old security deposit because she said, and I quote " I didn't think they were going to take me to court over it" is despicable and not to mention how she allowed the organization to make payments late multiple times yet never enforced late fee payments from Martha while she was actively renting her property however upon being sued is now requiring it should have been looked at differently and not granted to her!! Im happy the Judge awarded the plaintiff double however I feel she deserved alot more just based off the defendants vindictiveness and attempt to make a profit from a tragedy!! Smh that's just sad! Im happy Martha's daughter fought for her and her Madre!!!

Well said 👏👏
@@jennifer134thank you.
@courtneyshiflet4561 .
Hello Ms. Courtney,
Thank you for saving me a lot of time, since you wrote almost EXACTLY what I wanted to say about this case too!
…and you did so in a VERY NICE, RESPECTFUL way towards both Martha and her daughter while remaining firm and direct in your (completely justified) disapproval towards the actions of the defendant and you did both of these things in a distinctly, articulately and overall perspicuously WELL-WORDED manner.
The way you wrote your reply is not often found in comment sections like this and I sincerely commend you on that! Bravo!👏
👏👏👏
Yay! So glad she won. In honor of your mother, you won. GOOD. God Rest Her Soul. Let's all pray for that sleezy, slimy landlady.
All landlords are scum. They thought that when their tenant died they get free money. Thank goodness the daughter took this to court. Shame on the landlord!!
@@Tuturu708 Too right! Shame, shame, I know her name!
AGREED
Good for the daughter defending her mothers name
Glad her daughter fought for it back.
Factsss imagine just shutting up and paying
What a beautiful girl, glad she got something to remember her mommy. Wish her all the best❤️
After 8 years that apartment looks pretty clean, mom raised good kids that after her death they wanted to do the wright thing and clean up where there mother lived.
After 8 years that apartment looks impeccable. Probably looks nicer now than it did when she moved in.
Yes!! They actually did what any decent oerson(s) would do (since not everyone does this!(
Mother is dead. Narrator: "It's the case of: This TOO shall pass" lmaooo
Right!!!
Really poor taste
im sorry but that took me out.
I swear I went looking for the comment!
So did I.
Good for the daughter, the landlord is delusional
The landlord thought she would get away with it because the tenant passed away. Smh!
First thing I said
The case of “This too shall pass” Is CRAZY 😭😭
It’s very rude and insensitive
Very distasteful 😭😫
Yeah they really missed with that one. Not funny
Yea my mouth dropped hearing that, very insensitive 😢
Harvey wrong for that one. Might as well have said, "The landlords counter-suit is dead...just like the plaintiffs mom"
The plaintiff is beautiful
Yesssss!!!! She is stunning!
Yes ma'am she is dear lord let me win the powerball
Defendant I think figures renter has passed on so she’s keeping deposit. She figures she didn’t fulfill her lease when she passed so she can keep everything. Defendant thinks that renters child will forget their mother has a deposit. Defendant is delusional that apartment was NOT clean! JM called this one right on.
thats why i have been saying for years that requiring deposits to move into residential rentals should be totally illegal . the only money a landlord is entitled to is rent and rent only . if a tenant damages the property then the landlord has every right to sue and prove it in court , but the mandatory deposits are an unfair burden to put on renters who have not even started living there yet let alone damaging it .
This comment made me actually just now add a note in my “FOR WHEN I’M GONE-documents” about my paid deposit, as a little reminder for my daughter, who has access to these files and knows how and where to find them after I pass away.
I doubt that a thing like ‘rent deposit’ will be on top of her mind whenever she has to deal with these things…
Thanks for reminding me to do this!!
FYI: most states make the landlord put tenants deposit in an interest bearing account, and all money is returned even interest to tenants (unless damaged occurs) upon moving out. The landlord can get sued if they don’t do this. Massachusetts requires landlord to do this if they don’t, tenants can sue for triple the deposit, court costs and lawyer fees.
Shame on that landlord. Despicable.
I appreciate the plaintiff's straightforward, no nonsense demeanor in court.
I think the landlord thought since the lady died she could just pocket the money. Ridiculous
Defendant wants the daughter to completely renovate the place after 8+ years. THINK NOT!!!!
I like her long blonde hair. Its pretty ❤
She was there for 8 years while battling cancer and kept it beautiful
That is just so wrong ,that landlord has some serious thinking issues. Why would you give a woman dealing with the loss of a loved one such bad energy... Claiming all of those repairs as damage by the tenant 😕 what planet was she born on?
She just felt they would never ask for it so she could keep it.
she was born on the same planet that 99 percent of landlords were also born on . they all think they are entitled to that deposit money and they will say and do anything to steal it , even in states that penalize them double and triple .
@@marleonetti7No they are not.
There are PLENTY of bad landlords, I surely agree to that.
But no way near the 99% you are claiming to be the percentage of bad landlords…!
Maybe you just had bad luck with them, but I still have had to deal with more GOOD landlords than BAD ones over the years….
Cheer up, not that much negativity, my friend! Life is nice! 👍
@@The_Real_Mier better to assume its what i commented so that u will be ready with pictures and other evidence when u have to take a landlord to court .
Planet Greed
Defendant own evidence brought her down 😂😂😂
That place was left empty and clean, a hell of a lot cleaner than what many tenants leave a place. They went above and beyond IMO. The only trash in that place is the landlord.
She collected rent for 8 years on a place that was substandard at best and was aware of it and now wants her deceased tenants daughter to pay to put her place in the condition it should have been in all along.
I have nothing but disdain for this landlord.
Yea!!! Great Judgement 👍🏿🙏🏿
Wow a 2 dollar drain plug would fix the sink issue you didn’t have to replace the entire sink for that.
Im so proud of the plaintiff..the defendant is a miserable shrew
Landlords are the worst. Mine is owned by a property management who helps them get away with taking peoples money and it’s ridiculous. I’m so glad I own my own place now. 😊
I totally understand that. My wife and I are looking into buying property so that we can put a house on our own. I do have to admit though that my landlord and property management that I'm going through now have been really great to me but I have rented a lot of places and I have been screwed by 90% of them
Defendant initially seemed to be a rational woman, but when the judge started going through her receipts it began to look like she felt that anything that went wrong with the house while the tenant was living there the tenant should pay for. And a new sink because the line had to be snaked out? That's just a weak excuse to keep the security deposit in her own pocket.
Unfortunately, a lot of landlords feel that way and have NO CLUE what normal wear and tear means
How can she disrespect a deceased person and her daughter 😢
The landlord wanted free maintenance!
Keeping a dead woman’s money has got to be bad karma especially when somebody’s asking for it and you have no proof that you should keep it
“This too shall pass” was wilddddd hahahaha
The case of: this too shall pass 😂
Anyone else think the title of this case was a tad harsh? "This Too Shall Pass"...Really??
I agree. It was in bad taste. You have to wonder does Harvey have any input or veto power there.
Oh wow
8 years Martha lived there? (RIP) the place looks very clean. Those things the land lord kept the deposit for, were ABSOLUTELY not the tenants fault. DF?
God bless her. ❤ your mom is proud
Jessica looks nice!
plaintiff hoping to launch a Hollywood career and, by God, I'm not so sure that she shouldn't have one
Yeah after somebody's lived in an apartment for 8 years you cannot expect them to leave the place move in ready for the next tenant. That landlord seems like a scammy POS
Excellent Verdict!
Landlords are more scummy than not when it comes to coughing up security. They would rather pay an attorney than you.
Seriously !!
landlords believe they are entitled to keep that deposit , no matter what .
That's the sad reality
Good for u such a buetiful young lady
Why does every case or rental situation end with the landlord taking the deposit. Give me a break. Lady lived there for 8 years and the place looks decent.
good for you Jessica, honorable gesture on your part to get back your mom's money
The radiator valves????? After that long.. 🙄 Wow..
I once cleared an apartment, REPLACED the carpet, painted, to the tune of 3 goddamn grand. They CHARGED me $5500. You have no recourse. They’re crooks.
The defendant should be ashamed of herself. I guess she doesn't realize that there's normal wear and tear that she is financially responsible for. Also she probably got what she paid for when she hired the people to put in the plumbing and the radiators
Those kids left that apartment in move in condition, anything wrong with it was the landlords fault, she's a despicable pos.
I also think it's kind of heartless to charge late fees to a tenant that you know is chronically ill and relies on rental assistance.
1:17 “this too shall pass “ the most unserious title ever 😭
Jess certainly is beautiful and seems really smart too .
I commend the daughter for taking the land lord to court. It is money owed to her mother's estate and the landlord was wrong with those trump up charges for things that were her fault due to improper installation. The plaintiff is very pretty by the way.
I bet whomever lives there now is not keeping that place clean like that video the daughter showed.
R.I.P.Martha😢❤
That landlord flat out lied about the place being a pig sty. It was extremely clean. So, I'm glad she had to pay double.
The law should be that the landlord has to pay double when they wrongfully withhold security deposits everywhere, because that encourages them to not do what this landlord did - flat out LIE, aka FRAUD.
the case of the title is very disrespectful
I'm far from the offended type but, after watching a lot of episodes you definitely notice the rude overload here. Hahagahah.
Jessica the plaintiff was gorgeous! The defendant wasn't bad either!
You mean aside from being an ignorant, greedy jerk. If you are going to be a landlord, you had better plan on budgeting for maintenance and setting those funds aside. Too many people just don't fight it, so landlords get away with keeping deposits. The one time it happened to me, I fought it, won easily, and put a lien on my ex landlord to get my deposit back. It took a year, but I got it.
Two lovely women 4 sure ❤
They really said “this too shall pass” 🤣 these case names are getting wild!!!
I didn't even peep that REWIND!!! 😂🤣
Plaintiff needs to stop by the house sometime😅
Yes sir she does
LL really think when a tenant moves they’re responsible for everything 😂
Landlords really think when you move out you are responsible for renovating the whole damn apt. I'm surprised the landlord didn't try to fine her for not giving a 30 day notice to die
She pretty much buried herself with the report from the plumber 😂
“This too shall pass” was sort of disrespectful‼️
Harvey sure loves that question 😂
The defendant is despicable 😳😤
That lady lived there for 8 years and you’re complaining about paint on walls?!? You’re gonna repaint for the new tenants anyway! The defendant is greedy.
Some landlords don't seem to understand that the tenant isn't responsible for every little fix you have to do. You have to work it out to make your investment worth it. It's still going to cost YOU money to maintain the place.
The look the lady in the red gave the plaintiff!! Jealous much!!
LMAO I just seen that!!!😂
What’s the time stamp?
Great show
11:53 Shame on her for trying to keep money simply because somebody passed away !! Because that's exactly what it looks like. 12:00 Im so sorry for Jessica and her family's loss
Shame on the landlord for being greedy, shameless & heartless, especially to someone who was disabled, died, and to her mourning daughter & family.
Good judgement
That apartment was immaculate for 8 years lived in.
Its always funny when people give their opinion and then he hits them with common sense and logic and they have nothing to say😅
I always try to get my haircolorist to get my dark brown hair that shade of blonde, but it never gets that blonde.
What does that have to do with the case
Then your stylist clearly doesn't know how to properly color at all because I specialized in color and could get even the worst, most unhealthy hair with multiple different types of box hair color on it to that color blonde in just one sitting!!!!
@@dance4life1208absolutely nothing and that’s ok. Comments doesn’t have to be related to the nice. It’s a compliment on the hair
@@courtneyshiflet4561ok Courtney
@@dance4life1208who gives a shit
The nails, lol.
I know she's not supposed to but the Judge took this case personally.
As a landlord myself this landlord lady should be ashamed of herself. It’s ppl like her who make a bad name for the rest of us. Be a good human being and treat others how you wish to be treated. God will take care of you if you do and that is better then screwing ppl over for such things like a few thousand dollars. Goodness sake, some ppl are so selfish and ignorant.
That apartment is by far one of these best move outs I ever seen especially after 8 years of residency. I would have sue for leaking ceilings!
That landlady was soooooooooooooo dishonest.
7 Years is considered the life span of carpets and paint
Well DAYUM!!!!!!😮😮😍😋🤣
Baby girl thick aint she 🤣
That opening line from HARVEY : This too shall pass … that was insensitive and too far and not funny
Let's Go Judge!!
She was stacked
After 9 years of living there they left that apartment looking great ive seen ppl live at a place for a year and leave it herendous they deserve that money baxk
There is something very evil about a landlord who tries to nickel and dime a dead person, especially on things that are just normal maintenance like painting the walls after nearly a decade.
Geez the plaintiff is 🤯🔥. Wow
Some people just try to take advantage of other people all the time 😮
That defendant has some nerve!! She's horrible and I hope she reads this!!
Never understood why would you paint the walls in an apartment unless you’re willing to give up your deposit 🤷🏽♂️
She had a battle forever... with getting a real job
guy with the plaintiff looks like the cat who got the cream
What a greedy apt owner.
They are already heartbroken over their Mothers Passing and the APT owner is trying to stiff them.
The landlord reminded me of Selena’s manager you know she crooked . She probably robbed so many other people and still plotting till this day .
The case of “This too shall pass” I’m ☠️
You would be surprised how many landlords do their best to find any reason they can to keep the deposit.most of them do it.
This yelling snotty constantly-interrupting judge makes me miss the objectivity, kindness and listening skills of Judge Wapner.
An absolutely trifling woman. No compassion at all for her sick tenant. Just a conniving crook.
This landlord is a crook and got karma! 😊
Oh my!’ Seriously JM?? -I’m afraid COMMON SENSE TOTALLY ELUDES THIS JUDGE!! Of course the sink problem s the tenants fault, she’s the only one that uses/used it!!
The evidence that the plaintiff messed up the sink??
SHES THR ONE LIVING THERE USING IT!!!!😮
This to shall pass is crazy XD
Omg my mouth dropped
