Being Petty

The plaintiff says she rented a room in the defendant’s house, but the woman would shut off the electricity and gas for days out of spite, and she kicked the plaintiff out with no notice. She’s suing for what she’s owed. The defendant says she did the plaintiff a favor by renting the room to her, but she was such a nightmare that the defendant had to call the police. She’s countersuing for rent and damages.
Case: 25-149

How the hell you gonna rent a room, not house, not half a house, a room for 3 people and one on the way. Then how you gonna tell someone who they can and can't have in the apartment/house? Get your own HOUSE. Hell, a hotel/motel room is better.

Did you watch the story? I thought the exact same way before I watched the whole story.. its crazy.. the defendant..may have been out there.. and if the plaintiff saw it .. the kids saw it.

I can tell if you had a significant other and y'all went through hard times you would leave. It's a lot of reasons other than someone being lazy that ppl rent rooms. The plaintiff NEVER explained WHY they had to but that they had to for a short period of time. A person could be waiting for their next apartment to get ready while they just rent a cheap room from someone. Instead of going to a hotel, where in VA a NICE one with a kitchenette is $300 a week (I've had to do this because I had no family to help); that's $1200 a month! Even if you get the cheapest, it comes with a lot of uneasiness because of the area and ppl, especially with a small child/children. Or even if you rented from family, you would still have to pay them IF they had the means and room to help, at least I would. I say this all to say you don't know what OPTIONS or what ppl are going through.

[@micksxxxx]

I don't understand why you seem to think it should be all down to the husband to provide, there are two adults in that relationship. "Your husband ain't sh*t" ? honestly what kind of a person are you to say that. I'm sure that man is doing everything he can to provide for his family. If he has found a roof over their head, even if it is just "a room" then he is doing better than some others - at least he's there! at the end of the day, that's what the kids are going to remember.

Your “husband” ain’t husbanding enough cause you’re renting a room from a complete stranger in her house and he’s with you says enough about him as a man

This wife seems so high and mighty and talks down about the landlord but she is on her 2nd kid with and man that can’t afford to even rent a room.

I can tell if you had a significant other and y'all went through hard times you would leave. It's a lot of reasons other than someone being lazy that ppl rent rooms. The plaintiff never explained WHY they had to but that they had to for a short period of time. A person could be waiting for their next apartment to get ready while they just rent a cheap room from someone. Instead of going to a hotel, where in VA a NICE one with a kitchenette is $300 a week (I've had to do this because I had no family to help); that's $1200 a month! Even if you get the cheapest, it comes with a lot of uneasiness because of the area and ppl, especially with a small child/children. Or even if you rented from family, you would still have to pay them IF they had the means and room to help, at least I would. I say this all to say you don't know what OPTIONS or what ppl are going through. Also, the defendant was renting a room too!

[@nursej3391]

The Defendant was shady as hell, you could tell she was lying when her eyes kept looking to the right. I believe she turned the power and gas off for spite. But what family of 4 rents just one room in a house?

Not even a house, but an apartment the plaintiff said

Girl, you’re renting a room. You can’t tell people who they can & can’t have in there. Why can’t you & your “Husband” get a place for yourselves? Had no business being pregnant again with no adequate place to stay already.

[@Britty0189]

I’d love Judge Judy to ask what they all do for work, how long they’ve worked, last time they’ve work (cuz doubt it), section eight stuff, & why they had to rent a room, not with mom or dad or sister, uncle, cousin, friend. Why was the last resort a complete stranger from Craigslist? Are they that bad of people?

Idk how anyone can be on one side here vs the other, claiming one side has their crap together and the other doesn’t. One entire family is renting a BEDROOM. The other one has a place but has to invite a whole family of strangers into her place to try to make it work. All of these people are either dealing with hard times, or they’re fuck ups, or a combination of both. There’s no side in this that should feel superior, which they both felt, and that’s exactly why they ended up here.

I'm not saying that the defendant is right or wrong I'm not even halfway through this episode but I don't think it's any of the plaintiff's business who the defendant brings in as far as boyfriends go, if she doesn't want her daughter to see a different man in the house everyday then keep your daughter in the room I don't even know if that's true but I'm just saying that's not your place to go and confront her about it.

You sublet rooms within a house, apartment, etc., to which permission usually is granted by the landlord.
