Not Budging

The plaintiffs says they put down a deposit on an apartment, but then the defendant turned around and said it was no longer available on the agreed-upon move-in date. They’re suing for a refund. The defendant says she was never paid in full, and she claims the plaintiffs were the ones who backed out.
Case 29-315

[@prettyblkgyrl74]

The fact that the defendant got SOOOOOO agitated over standard "landlord/tenant" questions ( like when do we get a lease) tells me she didn't have permission to sublet that apartment. She didn't expect that young couple to be so astute. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I agree. I think the truth is, she found out that she DIDN'T really have the authority to sublet her apartment, but by that point the plaintiffs had given her all this money and she wanted to have her cake and eat it too, so she made out like THEY were "harassing her" and they breached the contract, when in truth, ALL of his questions were perfectly legitimate. Why should he pay rent if they don't even have keys and a contract in hand?

Exactly! Defendant spent the money as soon as she got it, then was wanting more by having them pay 2st month rent without a lease. I wonder how many others she scammed like this? Btw, she's still in the apartment, so it appears that she has no intention of moving out.

Legit having this issue with a friend of mine. I paid her $50 for 2 custom t-shirts 3-4 months ago. I haven't gotten the t-shirts. She bleached 2 and one didn't turn out right, she didn't put the cheetah print on the sleeve with the cricut, and she hasn't mailed me anything. I finally asked for my money back and she asked if she could just mail the one shirt and $25. That was like 3 weeks ago and a couple days later she said she was sorry but has been tight on money and that's why she hasn't mailed my money or the shirt. Mind you all I said was that my mom who lives down the street from her can mail them to me from work for no cost at all. Nothing. Now tell me how I paid you $50 for 2 bleached t-shirts with cheetah print on the sleeve FOR my business shirts WITH me and my business partner's business account and you spent all the money but didn't send me the goods and now I'm supposed to keep waiting? Very frustrated.

[@shabazbaptiste688]

The defendant didn’t have permission to sublease the apartment . When the plaintiff started asking questions she got nervous because she realized that they were about their business making sure all paperwork was handled. Any ‘landlord’ that gets mad at potential renters asking questions is a major red flag!

The defendant looks sketchy & it seems she was up to something criminal or illegal. It is not absurd for people renting a home/apartment to have questions; in fact they should ask as many questions as possible. Questions do NOT translate to harassment. If you are representing yourself as an agent/party of an agreement, then you should be prepared to answer detailed questions. Sure the wife was more patient & did more to calm down Neurotic Nancy the Defendant, however, the husband was just as justified in demanding timely & professional correspondence. They are not obligated for her to wait & drag out the lease like she’s on the run and trying to do something undercover, and dodging questions like the lease is sketchy. I don’t like how she tried to paint it out as if due diligence, demanding accountability, & expecting timeliness is a bad thing, & I didn’t like how Judge Milian was pampering the defendant as if her absurd reframing of the circumstance was valid. The defendant dragged the case on & on & tried to make herself the victim as an excuse to keep their money. Furthermore, she doesn’t get to pay their money back in increments. Once the agreement is undone, they are due their money back in full. The defendant was wrong, wrong, wrong.

If you, as a landlord, have honestly received permission to sublease your place, why are you so aggravated by questions asked by potential renters? They've also paid you a lot of money already. That sounds very shady and like she had something to hide. She's acting like she's illegally renting a place to a runaway couple that broke out of prison or something lol, like she's doing shady people a favor. Legitimate landlords welcome questions and answer them, it's simple. Especially for renters who have already put down money. And after she didn't want to answer the defendant's questions, she had the nerve to ask for MORE MONEY before she even finished drafting the lease. The defendant has very sneaky energy. It's clear that she was nervous that she was going to get caught and the plaintiffs were onto her. If I'm going to rent and live in your house, I expect you to answer every single question to the best of your ability and knowledge. Now, the lack of communication between the couple wasn't effective either. It seemed like the girlfriend was calm and handled the situation better. But, the boyfriend was kind of quick to shut everything down (even though he absolutely had the right to be skeptical). They should have discussed every move together before they made decisions. The couple definitely deserves all of their money back though. The landlord was scary cuz she knew she was wrong.

She probably needed money. So, she concocts this scheme to sub-lease an apartment, that she can't sublease, for an unbelievable monthly rate for Chicago so she can draw in as many suckers as she could find. Then she goes with this couple cause she thought she found her a young, dumb, naive black couple. But low and behold, the boyfriend was not having any of her BS.

(Or more/less depending on how many & kind of questions)” You’re not brushing them off, you’re not overwhelmed constantly by a bunch of questions all the time, and you’re able to take a breath and answer the questions succinctly and to the best of your ability. Plus, it’s a good way to document the exchange.

I think she used their money to pay her rent because she couldn’t pay it. She might have done this to numerous people.

[@gleee86]

Judge totally missed the boat on this one. You can totally tell she wasn’t allowed to sublease and had no broker. She’s sketchy and she backed out because she saw the plaintiffs were not sheep.

[@mariethomassophia]

The defendant started smiling when they mentioned the plaintiff mom dying, she’s weird!!

[@lulusgm1]

She laughing to keep from crying she thought that lame excuse would win her case...NO MA'AM

[@Jess24Lynn7]

She seems a little off by tearing up while talking to the judge and then as soon as she knows she lost she laughs and smiles and walks out.. I feel bad for anyone that rents from her.

[@glumberty1]

The defendant needed time to return their money? That means she spent it. I think she's a scammer and had no intention of subletting her apartment. She was just hustling people for cash.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

I'm gonna return your security deposit. But I'm not gonna do it I'm just gonna lie about it

[@lgreene7]

She’s clearly using drugs. I don’t even have to say which one.

[@dionned.6176]

Heroin or meth

[@tashianarice4411]

It’s meth

[@mutantbrain92]

Renting a place is a huge deal! You all need to be on the same page. He definitely has the right to know where his money is going and when he can move in. Those are all fair questions.

[@williamloop6314]

They want her to pay for the mom's funeral???? That is crazy.

[@2009gradcu]

The defendant is crazy. She’s laughing because she’s embarrassed 😳

[@Sch586]

The defendant is laughing, because it’s not gonna come out of her pocket to pay them back.

[@queenjackson1037]

The defendant wanted to pull those tears out so bad, but Judge Milian was not having it

[@Tailcoattimes]

😆 you saw it! she was really trying to pull it……

[@EasyGrilling101]

Here I was thinking the plaintiff's wife was the intelligent one, then they tried to blame the defendant for mom's burial....? Why would she have any thing to do with that....? So confused on what they're thinking.

[@Cheesycheddar642]

The defendant is a complete psychopath

[@jroqueta9223]

Defendant outed herself when she responded with “Rent is paid in full” when the judge simply asked if she was allowed to sublet. And to have audacity to get irritated that they’re asking questions… SO! You have their money!

[@lionelluva]

I don't think the defendant had permission to sublease.

[@RoughJustice2k18]

@@Nevaeh1 Hasn't she heard of a JOB? assuming she has one, or maybe she should get a second job and pay her own damn rent instead of scamming other people for money.

[@cazzraz1164]

Both the defendant AND the plaintiffs are a bunch of crazies! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@mellvee]

What is wrong with that Defendant? I'd much rather people ask every, single question they want because then there isn't an issue later, because someone "forgets" or "misunderstands" something. Also you can absolutely tell they're 1) telling the truth, since they spoke simultaneously with the same answer several times and 2) totally in sync and in step with each other. Love litigants that know their stuff!

[@GMAMEC]

She had no intentions of renting and didn’t think that they would take her to court. Most people don’t make an effort to file a case. It was a red flag when she didn’t have a lease and accepted the security deposit. I am glad this was aired on tv and KZbin because she’ll likely do this again.

[@kimberlyadorno280]

Defendant is laughing because she got to pocket the money. I love and hate these court shows because I feel a lot of undeserving people get off too easy.

[@bluecollarscholarmelrosepa5673]

Hello beautiful smile woman😃🐶😁😉😍

[@bethehype5339]

I thought she had to pay it back

[@kimberlyadorno280]

@@bethehype5339 the show pays any judgment/s awarded. Plus pays them appearance fees, hotel, transportation, and food. I know it's the idea of the show but some people are just deadbeats who truly deserve to pay from their own money or wages.

[@TheAray6]

The defendants racing, rapid and wide eyeball movements makes her look more nervous than a drug dealer being pulled over for a routine traffic stop with 80 kilos in the trunk. Hot mess express coming through!

[@annerose9219]

I think the defendant is full of baloney! They didn’t give me any time. I think she was going to steal the money all along.

[@ginoasci2876]

i’ve been a landlord for thirty five years. the defendant is not a landlord, and if she’s got the right to sublet, something is not right. probably doesn’t have permission to sublet.

[@Honeyhollywood115]

A blind man could look at this case & see what is going on 🤦🏻‍♀️ . Hopefully things work out for the young couple & I have nothing nice to say about the crooked lady .

[@simpleman3009]

The defendant looks like she just crawled out of bed to come to court 😂😂

[@CGYay]

Didn’t give her anytime it’s a deposit too hold onto not spend it on whatever

She was probably behind on her rent that.
