Treating a Tenant Terribly

- The plaintiffs say the defendant is their very weird former landlord, who they allege spent their security deposit instead of holding it in escrow. They’re suing to have the money returned now that they’ve moved out. The defendant says the plaintiffs told him they had a family emergency and they had to move out early, so he claims he informed them he was keeping the deposit.
Case #25254
#PeoplesCourt #RealityTV #Court
From his email, something tells me he doesn't return deposits. He's clearly not someone that should be a landlord.
I agree. All these people that rented from him that maybe should of gotten their deposits back and believed what he said. Every tenant needs to learn their rights.
@@carmenr6796 Yeah, he is banking on them not having money to sue him. I'd be checking out a landlord as much as landlords do checks on tenants!
@@shannontrent3702 right!!! I completely agree with you. 👏🏻
This landlord is Filipino, and maybe he isn’t familiar w/ how things work in the U.S. In the Philippines, landlords routinely keep security deposits w/o explanations-and they are rarely help accountable. The regulations there are a LOT more landlord-friendly than they are in the U.S.
@@nondescriptnyc well, if he's going to do business in the states, especially the Burroughs, hell either learn quick or the city or a tenant will take his property. The New York DA can also charge him with racketeering and shut him down, just like they did some of the Trump properties. I have no sympathy for him, it's his duty to learn the laws of countries he's in.
The defendant is too busy and unorganized to be a landlord.
The defendant was hoping they wouldn't take it to court and probably does this a lot.
Is it just me, or anyone else notice when a litigant is “sure the judge will agree”, they nearly always lose?lol
Think it every time
I bet this guy owns a few businesses that he runs this poorly but he only hires people that don't understand laws so he gets away with it.
I looked him up. You’re correct. He also took a $200k loss on selling a Manhattan apartment building in 2018. OUCH.
How would he know if someone doesn’t know the law though?
@@georgejestra7747 Well you're not gonna expect the building maintenance people to understand the local laws, right? He could deliberately be hiring people who don't have the correct qualifications on their resume. I dunno just a guess, I could be very far off.
Super impressed with the plaintiff’s case. She was prepared and the defendant is a piece of crap who has no leg to stand on. The bills should be paid and he has no good excuses. You can’t be disorganized when you are a landlord.
This:)
The defendant comes in with no copies of the lease. He didn’t have the money. When someone hands you thousands of dollars they’re not just going to look at it. He spent it then claims these provisions that don’t legally have grounds.
And he was so late on the bills, their utilities were getting cut off. I thought their intro was silly and made up until things started going down. He definitely doesn’t have the money and expects tenants to just deal with it, yikes.
The landlord is clueless, he also doesn’t have money to pay bills but he owns a 3 apartment situation in Brooklyn? WTH
Landlord: “I’m late with paying all of the bills”
“I’m disorganized”
“I don’t have the lease.”
But they don’t deserve the security deposit in his “defense.” 😆
I loved this olaintiff!! She was very direct and clear in her testimony. She was not all over the place giging unnecessary information. She didn’t repeat the same info over and over. She was a pleasure!! 😊😊😊
This was the calmest episode I've ever seen.
It seems like there's a lot of people trying to be landlords when they have no clue what the laws are... And don't make any effort when they come to Court
"I am too busy to issue a new lease"... wtf. Why are you in the business of leasing out dwellings, How can he expect people to pay rent that includes power if he is too broke to pay the bills and services get switched off for days at a time? SMFH
A lease that has expired, isn't a valid lease? That's why it needs to be signed, I bet he spent the cash as quicker than he got it?
robbing Peter to pay Paul
I think we can all agree ... some people should not be landlords.
The defendant has no clue how to run a house. He should never be a landlord.
Damn! Asking them to pay rent ahead just so he can pay his bills for the tenants to have access to what he’s supposed to be sustaining
I bet he lives above his means and play to his friends that actually has money like he has it all together. But inside he is so tore up its ridiculous 🙄
Being a landlord is like a business, if you can't afford the business costs of paying stuff on time or repairs, sell the property.
how did the defendant even get to own a building?
Probably left to him from his parents
He might only own the unit.
All you need is good credit and an adequate deposit to finance a multi-unit property. Being able to manage said property is something completely different.
He gambled the security deposit away lol
This is the definition of a slumlord no wonder they move real quick
The defendant shouldn't be a landlord if he's so disorganized. He even said when talking in the hallway that he thought it was a30 day notice was the law and he was trying to tell JM that it was 60 days notice in the lease somewhere. Somehow no days are required in Brooklyn!
This defendant has no defense in this case at all. For him to not return their deposit is completely absurd. These kinds of landlords are a disgrace and shouldn't be able to rent out an appartment at all.
He absolutely did have a case. If he was truly going to the impression that the law required a 30-day notice, which most states do, then he has a valid argument. Unfortunately, it's the laws of New York City that are ridiculous.
If it's an honest mistake, it's an honest mistake, but he doesn't sound like a bad landlord. He just sounds disorganized, like the judge said.
@@JeremiahLOsborne he sounds like a bad landlord. He claims he didn’t have the time to give them a new lease and that he didn’t have the time to pay the utilities bills. It takes 15 minutes to create a document that says the provisions of the previous lease carry over with a new set of dates and then pop that puppy up on Docusign. And to leave his tenants without utilities for several days is absurd. If he doesn’t have time to manage these very very basic responsibilities, imagine what else was falling through the cracks.
@@JeremiahLOsborne The law is ridiculous because New York gets landlords prime money. If being a landlrod was such a terrible experience, then they wouldnt exist in New York. Clearly thats nto the case
I think we need to define what a "case" is. It's an argument. The landlord had a valid argument, even though the law disagreed with him. We're talking about what happens *before* the decision, not the consequences of the judgment.
And no one has mentioned any kind of property issues. No repairs needed, no bugs, no bad tenanted neighbors, no police activity. Other than the inconveniences of the utilities, it doesn't sound like such a bad place to live. Too many tenants think landlords should be perfect, while they think they run the place. You can always tell who's never owned property and been a landlord.
@@JeremiahLOsborne This landlord was mismanaging money. If they had no gas and electricity for 4 days, that's 4 days of no hot showers, not able to cook, losing perishable food items, and not being able to maintain the dwelling space. Plus no heat during the winter months. He asked for an advanced payment to cover the expenses of the utilities, which sounds scandalous to me. This wasn't an honest mistake. I personally don't think the landlord has the money to return to the plaintiff.
I rate Alexandra a clear 10 on a 1-10 Scale ⚖️ . Lovely & outstanding all black ensemble. Really represented herself well . Quite a lady ! 👍 👌
Yes, I agree. She’s an impressive young lady, very calm, articulate and professional. And she doesn’t even look old enough to sign a lease.
I envy the plaintiff. She is such a well put together young women. I love her character
That she is a real person, not a character.
Yea but she doesn’t know how to dress appropriately for court! So tacky!
Why is the defendant even a landlord? He’s a joke, can’t even get his finances together.
The plaintiff is a very well spoken person. Her parents raised her well.
curt doesn't smile often but when he does, watch out! space time rips.
He spent their deposit right after he got it.... Not on utilities, but on something.
The plaintiff is such a beautiful person and respectful go girl
I was a landlord for many years and where I live you are not allowed to ask for Security Deposit.
It's first and last months rent only, so if there is any problem with damage you have to go to court!
I am quite handy, so I would just repair the problem myself to avoid the hassle.
Douglas smiling at the end in the background 😂
As landlord myself I can tell this guy was only interested in collecting rent and not taking care of his tenants properly.
That's a pretty big assumption from an 8 minute, edited Court case. Not even the judge said that. There was no malice disgust at all. She even commented how nice and cordial their email correspondence was.
And you're just taking the tenants word for it, as well. You have no idea if it was one incident or multiple incidences. You have no idea how responsive he was when there was an issue with the property.
@@JeremiahLOsborne I'd call continuously not paying living expenses for heating and electricity equal to not taking care of tenants.
@@JeremiahLOsborne did we watch the same video? It’s pretty obvious. He collected the rent payments but didn’t pay the utility bills with them. Then had the nerve to ask his tenants to pay rent 2 weeks early to cover it.
@@dearboss9136 where do you get "continuously"?
@@leggs4113 did you read the comment I replied to?
He doesn't need to be renting to anyone until he gets organized and able to pay bills.
Agree! Couldn't imagine living without utilities for four days and then having my landlord ask for a rent advancement to get the utilities turned back on. I would be moving out too!
11:10 pm for the upload? Odd time, but hey greatbed time show..lol
thats what i was thinking, ill take it!!!!
he needs to read the housing laws of NY State.
New York? There is a big black guy's fist with that that little Chinese guys face written all over it
Yes!! Beautiful factual intelligent case!!
SUPER CUTE COUPLE! She’s got it together- that’s for sure
"My cousin Latka agrees with me." - Defendant.
That couple is so cute. I want a man that supports me like that. 😩
I have spent my whole life looking far a woman who carries herself like she does.. I would stand there and not utter a single word just like he did....
This man has no business being a landlord. He will be back in court with his other tenants.
Busted out laughing @ 7:04 because of the death stare 😂
he's a gambler.
I doubt he has their security in an account.
Of course he does. It's in a Walmart account where he used it to by clothes and forks 😂
doesn't matter. the show pays the judgements
Her shirt is very cute
The guys “whaaaat” is spot on
Zero days notice to move out is kinda crazy. Where I live the renter needs to give 30 days notice, and the landlord needs to give 90.
Ugh, the defendant is the type of person who is a pain to work with. NY is very expensive but does seem to have good protections for renters. It's not so favorable for renters in TX.
They're on a month to month tenancy, they don't HAVE to give him a 60 day notice anymore!!!
He knows the provisions don't carry over he's just trying take advantage and bully.
Correct. No new lease means they are month to month.
I 100% guarantee that the defendant did not have the money because he spent the security deposit instead of putting it into an interest earning savings account, which is what he is supposed to do.
He just doesn't have it to give back I bet lol
The Defendant is either a con-man, or completely ignorant of rental laws. No matter which one, he should not be a landlord.
Galing mo kuya 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Great ruling
Those of us who live in Europe view every one of these Landlord-Tenant cases with shock and awe! How the citizens of the US can tolerate a state backed system of systemic housing exploitation and profiteering landlordism simply beggars belief!
In the UK, tenants can owe thousands of pounds to the landlord before they are evisted.
Seems like to me the defendant just didn't have the money to pay them back. Which is usually the case with most landlords. Especially the ones who want a nickel and dime and nitpick on Little things to say why a person's not getting their deposit back or only half of it. It really all comes down to did the landlord save the money or did they spend it and now they're broken and can't pay it back. Which and those situations they shouldn't make it the tenants problem. Especially when the tenant left the apartment in good condition.
The Defendant is a horrible landlord.
I’m a landlord and have had to evict a few tenants, but if I have good tenants, I’ll work with them.
On occasions I’ve had tenants who have had to leave.
In WA state I have to be given a 30 day notice.
There have been times when service men / women have been deployed and couldn’t give me 30 days. I work with them and try to do what is best for all my tenants.
I’ve had a Marine that has rented from me on 4 separate occasions. After returning home, he rents from me again. He has now been relocated to Florida. If he’s ever relocated to my area again, if I have an apartment or house available, I’ll rent to him again.
Landlord is a scammer. He's lucky she just went for her deposit and not compensation for days without gas.
If your gonna be a landlord you should definitely know the all the laws
Reese Witherspoon and Macaulay Culkin, is that you? What a very lovely young woman.
Plantiff is cute Goth, nice hair, glasses, skirt- nice effort.
She's 🔥 !
Just prorate or whatever it's called those first 6 days of March or whatever and get a new tenant in there since you knew that they were moving!!!
Love how JM 'educates' the people who enter her courtroom. Maybe she's attempting to do what our country's education system is FAILING to do 🤔
On the defendant's (landlord's) side of this case? Not much, since it's a classic example of, "Be smarter than what you're working with...duh dude."
------------------------
Note: This case also points out how a person needs more than just 2 brain cells to be even a mediocre landlord, so my advice to this guy is, ..."
------------------------
Don't quit your day job as a Walmart welcomer, you're already the best you'll ever be.
3:38 Apparently the landlord doesn’t realize there are certain obligations for renting.
Most landlords will always try to keep the deposit any way they can.even when nothing is wrong they invent something.ive had landlords who say heat and hot water is included and I wake up in the winter, guess what the landlord didn't bother to order oil so no heat or hot water.and he still tries to keep the deposit when I move because of no heat .
Thanks ForThe Late Night Upload Lol.
Some people shouldn't be landlords. Asking to get sued.
The defendant what’s with that carrying case is it full of nothing yis wis
They should ask for double or more damages if the guy illegally kept their security deposit.
Too bad the defendant didn't have to pay.
NYC has very strange laws
The defendant hasn't a clue about being a landlord, nor about any laws that go along with being a landlord, in fact in spending their deposit he is breaking the law as it is supposed to be put into a special account and held, not spent.
He doesn't even pay the basic bills on time and thinks this doesn't matter, what is wrong with him? How did he ever become a landlord?...
Uptalking drives me nuts.
The plaintiff’s dress is a bit flashy for court.
the defendant is a thief ..he most likely does thiS all the time ..
The landlord is trying to get over- unorganized and broke. Like bffr
This is an individual that shouldn’t be a landlord or an accountant 🤷♂️
The landlord is going to get some bad tenants and no matter if they don't pay rent and or damage his property he won't get a penny being so disorganized
I thought the ''security'' was so they won't leave the apt. damaged.
who's the older woman? mama wanted to be included.
Someone from the Philippines I thought they were hospitable.
I have never seen triangular nostrils before. Did the defendant have surgery or is really a Star Trek junkie?
Looks like the michael Jackson special
The plaintiff boyfriend is lucky he has a strong, and smart girlfriend!😂
So if he put in the lease that 60 days notice was required would that be legally binding or wouldn't be void due to the law stating no notice required?
In my part of the world the law must be adhered to and that stipulation could not be enforced I am wondering if it was the same in the US? Its also illegal for a landlord to hold a bond here too. We have an agency that they must present it to and have got take proper steps to access that money.
I believe the 60 day notice would be enforceable in all states and municipalities, I've heard of some landlords requiring even longer notice. Some states require that the security deposit be held in an escrow account and if the tenant is entitled to their deposit they also get the interest it earned.
@@DonziGT230 Thank you
I think in this case a signed contract is the precedent over state law. However when the contract ends, the requirements default to state law.
What an air head the defendant is.
You have land lord do not fix thing that need to be fix they just want to get pay and when you move just don't want to give you back your money
What's worse a bad landlord or a landlord who doesn't care?
Wow 😳 early for an upload 👍 cool I can watch while I have morning coffee ☕✌️💙🏴
Main steam stop valve.
Plaintiff is beautiful
Why videos from so many years ago I don’t get it
I feel sorry for the defendant lol
Slumlord
He used all his money for his Botox injections
The defendant is shady
I see the same faces on the tour bus but on different seats, maybe law students ⚖️ the 60 days notice is a policy not the law
So glad you said that. I swear I’ve seen some of the same people on the bus with different clothes.
