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.

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.

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.

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 .

Why’s the defendant making that weird face 😂

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.

[@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.

[@cureeway]

They dodged bullet. she def wasn’t Lowe’s to sublease which is why she left the lease & got nervous about the constant questions.

[@dixiewinxeqandmore356]

Honestly when you are even thinking of leasing/looking at renting, you should be able to get all your questions answered by the landlord/property manager so that you feel comfortable with having a place to live. But this is just my opinion.

[@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……

[@f7e8t9i3]

Why was the defendant joyfully laughing at the end? Strange person.

[@nanajohnson6007]

When do you get a lawyer to draw a lease if you already claimed your brokers involved but unable to refund any of rent deposit.

[@ChasRiaStJohn]

Lol, they were asking for funeral expenses….like really? And , 10000%, she did not have permission to sublet.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Shaikhofilm]

If the defendant was annoyed with the questions, she could have put off answering them until a later time. It was text. She was fortunate they didn’t move in- then they could have really got her by refusing to move out. The defendant claims she was going to return the money to them later - lies . Stole their deposit and was planning on keeping it.

[@justzee1574]

Doug be talking slick after the case 🤣🤣

[@Lanie-sl9ne]

I also believe that the husband did a good job. He pushed her just a little bit in my estimation and got a chance to see what's really inside of the defendant. To which means she probably would have come with her phuckery later. Because she sure came with it talking about her lawyer talking about going over this that & the 3rd for just questions? And this is gonna be a legal binding contract that involves money?🥺 No I agree with the husband he did good job sometimes we need our men to be men and then we step in and throw a bucket of water on them. I think he did a wonderful job at seeing what this woman was made of when her fruit was squeezed. Either you gonna be sour or sweet.

[@Sch586]

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

[@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.

[@dawny2985]

It was a blessing on both sides that they did not move in together

[@Cheesycheddar642]

The defendant is a complete psychopath

[@hollyb6885]

The plaintiffs wanted the defendant to pay for the mother’s funeral?! What world do they live in?!
