Pretending To Own a House

The plaintiff says he rented an apartment in a house the defendant said she owned, but she was a fake. The place didn’t even have appliances, and now he can’t even get his rent and security deposit back, and he’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff is a liar and a squatter. She says he never gave her a penny, and she let him stay at her husband’s house as a favor

[@elaine462]

The defendant may be somewhat uneducated, but she had a legal power of attorney and I believe she was looking for a good tenant. I believe that he changed the locks on her and hadn’t been paying rent from February to May. I also believe he paid the first month rent in January and for the stove he had a receipt for, but he changed the locks and it couldn’t be delivered. She shouldn’t have tried to kick the door in instead of legally evicting him when he stopped paying rent. That was a big mistake on her part.

[@jeacaklotom]

The power of attorney was dated the pervious day. So she didn't have power of attorney at the time that she rented the apartment. She keeps saying " he owes ME" not owes my uncle.
