Rotten Renting

The plaintiff says she rented her rustic cottage to the defendant, who she claims lit fireworks that melted plastic pipes in her yard. The damage caused a leak, so she had to hire a plumber. When she confronted the defendant about the bill, she stopped payment on the rental and wrote a scathing online review. She’s suing for the rent and repairs. The defendant denies damaging anything. She says the home wasn’t clean and did not match the ad description, so she stopped payment.
Case 29-286

[@kinnabinna]

my grandmother and grandfather have a cottage they’ve rented for years and my entire childhood and it was only available for summer because it’s straight up in the woods and the pipes freeze during the winter. we never had roaches we would find mouse droppings of course since no one is there for 3/4 of the year but that place was pretty gross and our cottage did not look like that even though it was rustic

[@kellykroeger714]

I'm shocked that nobody picked up the fact that even the plumber said that there's an electric wire or something like that next to the pipe which is why he didn't want to fix it so it's possible that the water pipe had a leak which in turn caused the fire or scorching and melting of the plastic pipe. So it's totally the fault of the homeowner. Was I the only one who heard her say that

[@arianefr78]

I was thinking the exact same thing, normally water pipes and electrical wires are not next to each other...

[@samanthameier4371]

@@DonziGT230 yes they did. The owner of the cottage specifically states that the plumber stated that he KNEW there were electrical wires that ran near the pipes.

The pipe wouldn’t have to be damaged for that to have occurred.

Our written law is there for a reason, and you have to prove your case otherwise everyone would just be suing everyone. She doesn't let people just flap their gums without evidence, and I personally agree with that 100%. Let your proof speak for you, otherwise you have no case.

[@Shaikhofilm]

In this case, the defendant remained at the cottage for the whole time, and did not leave earlier. She would have left if it was unbearable , and be entitled for a refund. Stayed the whole time- gotta pay for the use. For the complaints the defendant brings up, she is entitled to not rerent that place again if she wasn’t satisfied. One person may dislike it; others may think it’s great. For the fire damaged pipe, it seems like the defendant caused it. However, the plaintiff should have fixed it herself for cheap, instead of paying good money to a plumber to come out there. Pex piping is cheap.

[@RL-rm1cx]

Shaikh, I completely agree. I do understand that maybe on day one she may not have known she was so disgusted she wanted a complete refund, but it would be known before the last day of the stay.

I feel like they caused the fire damage but that's just me... Leave it up to a "Karen" to, see an ad for a shared waterfront and still harass neighbors that they shouldn't be there, cause damage then call to complain she witnessed damage knowing she caused it and vacay in filth then talk crap later disputing the bill! The defendant reaked of BS!

[@cobravids]

She rents a rustic hunting cabin. Means it's in the woods. You're going to have mice, cockroaches, and even spiders. Oh my. Leave a house in the woods unoccupied for a few weeks, and you will have a few furry squatters. When I bought my country home, it was vacant for months. I had to evict some past residents. They didn't pay rent, so out they went.

[@josephconsoli4128]

All she has to do is put an enclosure on the stairway instead of balustrades. You could do it in a few hours! GEEZ.

[@kathyhansen9546]

Good idea!

[@chaddon7685]

Yeah....I highly doubt they waited until 4th evening to start their fireworks.

[@denasewell]

Cockroaches are usually a problem in urban city environments, not a rural lake house...there are other insects they may have mistaken for cockroaches. A rustic lake house is a step above camping. Wildlife n rural areas often come into even very pristinely clean lake houses because most of the time there are not people around....field mice, bats, snakes, lizards as well as various insects such as spiders, crickets, and, waterbugs

[@jcymngo]

It was roaches and it's the country making it über nasty.

[@BeKind2AllKinds]

Agreed. I don’t think roaches are typical for a wooded lake house.

[@jenn_x.]

I was thinking water bugs, too. Could've been any sort of beetle, though. And the defendant was obviously not bothered by whatever it was, as she even admitted to leaving a dead one with her note. 🙄

[@emilywang7686]

By depriving people of the chance to even speak sheesh, by telling people that they can’t prove, anybody can be a judge.

[@kristic4472]

you rented it, you stayed, you pay. if you left the first or even second day and complained about the mice, and shower, and whatall, Then you can say not paying or go to court. She Stayed The Full Time!!! AND Damaged the place!

[@jamesbryant9514]

Fair ruling. I'm surprised that there wasnt any mention of the advertisement of 3 bedrooms butvtgere was only 1 bedroom. She did have a right to complain about roach and rat droppings. Also the shower curtain issue. Especially by there being two adult women to adult men who do not want them to look at each other's mates. Also I do understand her approaching a person on the beach to see if they were also in the other house or where they're strangers roaming around. You have to be concerned for your safety. People are crazy. So therefore I think it was a fair ruling.

[@BADBOIOFBOSTON]

It's the same as eating a meal and telling the waiters the food was gross and want their money back. She's that person.

[@samstallone1701]

Yeah average white petty mom thinks everything needs to be perfect

[@theolamp5312]

Marilyn Milian is now 60 years old. Who can possibly imagine. She is gorgeous for any woman at any age.. Plus she is very intelligent. A great combination.

[@lando1071]

As bad as this place was, only a Karen demands a full refund after being there for a full week. More proof of Karenness? How about walking down and confronting the lake house people and questioning if they belonged there.

[@jamievangalio1341]

I live in the Finger Lakes area of NY. Makes me wonder where it is.

[@lisabass7584]

You should check it out

[@prettyricky9147]

How can you stay in a place like that for a week and then expect all of your money back.

[@TheNosePickler]

The fingerlakes? LMAO....I immediately thought of The Office tv show.

[@sj4iy]

She said it was gross but they stayed an entire week. You can't stay and then expect all of your money back. Also it wasn't her business to know who else was there.

[@MrAllan9]

Calling a dump rustic is the oldest trick in the book.

[@John-bd2gz]

Judge - "So when you are naked and taking a shower, anybody going up and down the stairs can see you. Do you have pictures of what you are saying" LOL

[@c.williams4185]

Thanks for the upload

[@Peepeepoopoo5543]

Rich people are so nasty. She would never pay 1600 to live in that cottage but scoffs at someone being unhappy with it

[@peachesandpoets]

Of all the things that are nasty and correct, with the shower curtain drawn you can't see the person there. Ijs. Also the plaintiff is a Karen. Nobody has to talk to you. 🙄 The people by the lake don't have to talk to you. Judge was biased.

[@emilywang7686]

Agreed,

[@thomasskodzinsky3255]

Until you walk up the stairs that's higher over the open space on top of the shower curtains for a little peek! Might be fun if you're with your SPECIAL SOMEONE. But with two couples and their kids, it's a no no.

[@dessean1]

This was a proper decision as the renters should have been informed about the bathroom/shower issue & thus should have been compensated for that inconvenience. As for the defendant, I understand her dismay about the accommodations but at the same time, she & her party did choose to remain at the property for 7 days & so she definitely needs to pay something for that period.

[@phtevlin]

Roaches? I used to feed the roaches I found to my pet spider.

[@almathomas8325]

Why is that bathroom like that? Why would she rent that place out like that. SMH

[@jacquelynclark3782]

Hate hearing these roach cases while I’m eating 🤣🤣

[@isaackid]

The kid was trying to shout out his homies and he got shut down. That’s cold yo lol 😂

[@lilpicnicattac9207]

No way the lady who rented could've attracted mice so quickly, so even if she did leave food out it wouldnt be that much or any at all. She does need to let people know about the condition of that shower, and electrical wiring near a pipe? are you serious??

[@regisfilia]

To imagine you can stay someplace for a full week for free is insane. Expect to be taken to court.

[@surveysays731]

it couldn’t have been that gross if you laid your head there, showered, ate, cooked, etc. for a week. So to demand a full refund after that is just greedy. I agreed entirely with the judge she shouldn’t have gotten all her money back bc as gross and disgusting as it was to her (even though two families stayed for 7 days) the defendant could’ve absolutely gotten someone else in there for that time because it was 4th of July week! Greedy lady

[@NikhchansGaming]

16:51 the way her sister is laughing, it seems they have some funny memories about that bathroom 🤣🤣

[@MrCharlesEldredge]

Sometimes judge millie really gets it wrong! Who does she think burned the pipe? She just takes the defendants word that they set off fireworks AFTER the pipe was burned? C'mon! People vacationing for a week for July 4th often set off fireworks BEFORE the 4th!!

[@Jean0987654321]

The plaintiff is a Class A slumlord but the defendant was dumb as rocks for staying. She shouldn't have ate the steak if it was bad

[@Sweetpea1128]

Body language says the defendant knows all about the fire that damaged the pipe.
