[@jpharleyd9325]

I've never left a rental that didn't look better when I left than before I moved in. This wasn't wear normal wear and tear, it was real damage. One major reason why landlords don't want to rent to couples with children. The damage to the wood floors alone was thousands of dollars. Their artificial fireplace/ heater probably pulled too many amps and smoked the outlet and wiring.

[@Maninawig]

My first appartment was small and the landlord was not communicative, so I used wood pencils to draw a landscape on the door (thinking it would be easier to paint it back when I leave) thinking this would be ok. Other than that, I always wash the walls, counters, floors, everything before I call the landlord in for an inspection.

[@cindylemons9677]

Same here and have always got my deposit back!! One exception was 20 yr old son, his girl and my infant grandson...didn't clean carpet for their mess or take trash out & promised to finish after I took last load. I got partial back and was so mad at him!!!! Lesson learned, NO roommates lol.

[@tedwertman2115]

As soon as i seen the outlet I knew what happen.

[@Anglynn74]

it can be normal wear & tear with cheap products & cheap plain white walls with a bad flat paint job. that ceramic tile in the bathroom was laid OVER a linoleum floor, whoever laid it was too lazy to remove it down to the subfloor, it will always crack like that in that way. Cheap wood flooring that isn't treated will scuff like that. These photos are classic telltale cheap products wearing out after 5 years of basic use. Sometimes the scuff marks on the walls are actually the paint underneath showing through because someone painted it white without priming the walls first. this is all classic stuff, seen it before.

[@av8tor261]

[@curvydinokitty]

In all fairness, my kitchen tile broke exactly like that from just walking on it because it was uneven and whoever put it in did a shitty job.

[@lcam9241]

But if you're renting you'd need to alert your landlord about it ASAP. And try to take pics if at all possible showing uneven tile. Then you'd have a leg to stand on against the landlord saying it was all your fault. Definitely wouldn't just leave and hope for the best🤦🏾‍♀️.

WE lived on Wilmington island, outside of Savannah When Hurricane David came by, 40 yrs ago. The police were slowly driving Up and down every street w a bull horn.....telling everyone, it's a mandatory evacuation.......as they passed by, my husband, A WWII veteran, a German national, informed me..... "WE cannot evacuate. We are renting this house. We have to stay and try to protect this house in every way possible." 🤯......and we stayed while he lashed a ladder to the roof in case we had to climb up to up out of the water....he tied our lifejackets to the ladder. He built a "float" for the bird cage and put the dog's life jacket on him.......he was quite sure the water would flood over Wilmington and tybee island.....uhhhh yeah. Thank God nothing bad happened to us during those days......but I would never trust anyone w the responsibility of my children, like that, again.

it's almost impossible to clean cheap white flat painted walls that haven't been primed which is what is seen in those photos. Whoever painted them white never primed the damn walls, this will happen to the most cleanest person, they can be the most organized cleanest person in the world & they'll have scuff marks & the underlying paint showing through. I've seen this a million times, whoever is doing this apt is using extremely cheap products that aren't installed correctly. They more than likely wouldn't allow them to paint the walls, kept it white, knowing that white shows everything. It's a deposit trap, happens often, very old tactic.

[@foreverblessed6443]

That's what judge judy would've said

[@MrCharlesEldredge]

Exactly! What does it matter how many scuff marks there are? Paint doesn't care. It covers them all. Scratches from bed were normal wear and tear. The hole in the floor was not normal wear and tear. The dirty pan in the oven was gross, but it just requires cleaning. I'd give the landlord $300 for the hole in the floor. And another $250 for cleaning. That leaves $1700. So double that and they get $3400 awarded. But often judge Marilyn doesn't follow the law and her prejudices often color her rulings. She is often sexist. Kangaroo court.

[@cdub3019]

Ok, I have to say Judge could be wrong on the cracked tile. We are on a wooden subfloor and our tile in the kitchen did the same. A wooden subfloor will move and the tile and grout won't move with it. It will crack, especially where the most foot traffic is absorbed. The crack will spread to accommodate the movement of the house and the movement of the people in the house. We recently built a new house with two levels, i wanted tile so badly all through the top floor but our contractor and the flooring guy explained to me the likelihood of the tile cracking over time due to the subfloor moving. I got laminate instead, not as pretty but way more practical and way less maintenance than tile.

[@Tiramysuu]

All the time.

[@gbemisolaadedipe9763]

I thought it was just me! All the damn time!

[@DEEJAYAIR]

She wasn't at all.

[@adrianprince7266]

This Judge was very confrontational from the beginning but the place was a wreck.

[@foreverblessed6443]

That's her usual nasty demeanor 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@MrStudo67]

@@foreverblessed6443 nasty demeanor? She's a straight up Saint! Caring and thoughtful when she needs to be, but also doesn't take no sh** exactly what you need in a judge

[@keysaysassah]

She also gets to read everyone's statements before the case so she probably already knew the P was going to pull the sh*t eccuses she did tbh

[@tjneverdefeated4394]

Teach your children how to care for things. My parents raised three and if we marked the walls we had to clean it. If we scuffed the floors we had to clean it. Carpet spills got cleaned. Any mess we made we had to clean it and since we didn’t like that we tried not to make messes. We were also responsible for helping with general housekeeping and that taught us value. That place should never have looked like that, kids or not. This was negligence.

God bless everyone on here🌺🐦

You too!

[@antbankzbruh]

House was dirty af , the audacity that they sued lol

[@cynthiaprice3528]

My property owner did his own floor in my bathroom and he didn’t do it right because I was literally walking on egg shells. Every time I walked on it the tile would crack. He finally had someone come and put down some linoleum. They never ripped out the old floor which had been put on top of the original flooring. I hate when Property owners do cheap work for themselves and skip certain parts of the job and then complain that it’s broken. I don’t know why the plaintiff didn’t just clean before they left.

[@jcmfa1975]

That stove, how embarrassing. We saw just the walls, I can't imagine what it looked like with everything in there. The cabinets also ugh. How could you even ask for money back?

[@Anglynn74]

let me tell you something, if you ever go to rent an apt & the walls are all white & they won't allow you to paint - RUN, RUN FAST. White walls will ALWAYS pick everything up whether it's high gloss or flat paint, especially if you have kids, and it's a royal pain in the ass sometimes to clean. Every single little finger mark, scuff mark, you name it it'll show and it from the JUMP will guarantee you no deposit returned. I sometimes wonder if they do this on purpose just to keep the deposit. I say this after owning my own house for 17 years and as a renter, white walls are like a white void & they WILL show everything. You do NOT have to be a dirty careless person to have this happen. Darker walls that are painted typically won't show it. But if any rental wants you to be in that white void without painting, then go elsewhere if you want your deposit back in the future. and NO you don't have to drop anything on ceramic tile to crack it, if it's not installed properly or if it's not level it WILL crack eventually, it's a rental they probably put cheap flooring in there, this usually happens if they're too lazy to remove old linoleum floors under it. Wood floors can scratch if they're cheap or not treated & if it's cheap the slats will separate. It happens. If they want the place spotless when a tenant moves then stop buying cheap crap at Home Depot and allow them to paint it other than white void. .Not only that but in between tenants they should be painting & putting in a new carpet anyway, go buy a can of white paint & a brush for christ's sake.

[@dakalashi]

So what is the general rule about painting? As a landlord, I would think after 5 years wall painting would be necessary and my responsibility. What's everyone else say?

[@coreydbryant]

Everyone else does not agree, because they think it should be the plaintiff's responsible to restore the house to the condition in which you took possession. Which is impossible.

[@pegjardin1954]

I believe the walls need to be clean before putting fresh paint on.

[@dandofando]

What pigs! How about hiring someone to clean the place if you want your deposit back. Unbelievable that they think it’s to be expected after 5 years.

[@richyaintrich]

*inhales deeply* 🗣👋🏽BRINGING THE WHOLE BATCH WILL NOT HELP YOU!!!!!!!!

[@judeiz2203]

That family lived there for 5 years, no way are they responsible for a new paint job, that cost should be covered by the landlord.

[@alishashadows9599]

I agree.

[@ddinottia39]

But there was damage to the walls the landlord should not have to pay for that. Also the floors too!

[@LawsonPatterson]

I raised kids and my home NEVER looked like that. Ridiculous

[@ChasRiaStJohn]

Judge Judy puts people’s kids right outside after they come in. Like, no. You all ain’t needed for this case🙄

[@mickm6309]

1. Why were they letting their kids lean the bikes against the wall? 2. Why couldn't they spend 2 weeks before moving out fixing the property up a bit?

[@Thequeenbee707]

I’m always so surprised at how many people DONT clean their walls/baseboards periodically in their homes. If these people had just cleaned it once each year they lived there it wouldn’t have looked so bad when they moved out. I do my walls, baseboards and inside/outside cabinets at least once a month!

[@MRdjDICKEY]

Wow they wouldn't take responsibility. Like how hard is it to maintain your home? 😆 🤣 landlords love me as I fix everything myself and only ask for materials back.

[@elizabethdavis5277]

My kids don't cause damage or they will be working to fix that damage!! You can't be damaging other people's property. You gotta teach kids the same!!

[@MrStudo67]

Thank you

[@jroqueta9223]

Yikes on bikes. 😬

[@queenb4561]

Why the house looks dirty like that....

[@porshaford8579]

Here's a tip. When renting a house with hard floors go to home Depot get a carpet square that fits the rooms before moving any furniture in.

[@sdays59]

Actually tile will crack if it’s not properly installed.

[@taxpayer9546]

I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

[@barbarat5729]

Sure will!

[@TheGeosto]

Also cars. When not built properly they wont run.

[@rnnownp6822]

The kids look well and able to help clean..hell they could have done their own room

[@AshleyMarieMommy]

That’s not dropped on. That’s where people stand and if the mud isn’t level the title will break!
