Miss sand, you are suing the defendants for 1,275, and you claim that they scammed you into renting a condemned apartment. Yes. Judge tanya and, mr. Rogalski, miss watson, you claim that she broke the lease and you dont owe her anything. Yes, she did break the lease. Judge tanya do you have a copy of the lease . I do not. Judge tanya do you have a copy of the lease . May i see it, please . When did you move into this apartment . On the 1st of june. I signed a sixmonth lease. It wasnt even a month into me living there, and the water was disconnected due to the fact that they did not pay the water bill in an entire year, and i contacted city hall and found that out. Judge tanya how much money did you pay them when you moved in . 900. Judge tanya do you have evidence of that payment . You have it in your hand. Theres a copy of when i gave them the deposit. Judge tanya miss rogalski. Yes, maam. Judge tanya you said that she moved into the apartment before she actually signed the lease. How did that happen . The lady that was previously living there and her are friends, and she had moved in under that ladys lease. That she actually moved in . We were there, getting some stuff out of the garage. She was carrying up her cleaning supplies and whatnot. I was watching the apartment. There was no living room window, so, like, basically, all of her stuff was free game, so, therefore, i would stop by and check on the apartment. But i contacted them because i was interested in renting the apartment. Judge tanya she had a lease, yes . She had a lease . Come june 1st, she did have a lease. Judge tanya tell me when you started to realize that there was, allegedly, no running water. On the 23rd of june is when the water there was no water. The city got out there on july 6th and turned it back on. Judge tanya so what the heck was she supposed to do for nearly two weeks without water . She never reported the water being off. Judge tanya did you report it . Yes, i sent them a text message saying that the water was shut off. Judge tanya lets see. I also made numerous phone calls and left voicemails and never got any response. Judge tanya june 23rd my water isnt working. I did not get a text message saying that, and i was out of town on the 23rd. Judge tanya who did she send lets just cut to the chase. Was the apartment condemned by the city . Only cause of the water being shut off. Judge tanya do you have evidence of the condemnation . I do. Judge tanya may i see that, please . Thank you, sonia. This structure is declared unsafe for human occupancy or use. Now, will you explain to me why you did not simply give this woman her money back . We offered we had the water turned back on. Judge tanya the apartment was condemned. Why are you wasting our time, keeping her money on an apartment that was condemned . For the time that she was there. Judge tanya judge dimango. Judge patricia can you show us, please, the evidence that you have that she was not paying the water bill . Well, let me ask you this, while shes looking for that. Tell us were you paying your water bill . The water bill is supposed to go on with the taxes. Judge patricia were you paying your water bill . It was a while, and i judge patricia whats a while . Im not sure if it was a year, but they i went down to the city, and they told me that they dont shut off water judge patricia so for a year, at least, you were not paying your water bill. The property taxes thats the pastdelinquent. If you look at those papers, every single year since 2012, the water was disconnected in june, but they still have to pay the water bill. Judge patricia thats correct, they do, but, you see, theyre already in a habit, which is we dont pay for the year, then they take it out of our taxes. We dont pay for a year see, yeah, yeah, you agree then they take it out. But the bottom line is, you were renting, knowing that your water bill which, according to your lease, was your responsibility was in arrears. There are several reasons listed on this notice as to why these premises were not fit for human occupancy. What else was not in that apartment . There was no stove. Judge patricia which, according to your lease, was checked off that you supply the refrigerator and the stove, and there was nothing in there. And what else . There was no living room window. Judge patricia who rents that type of apartment to someone . Well, its not the way it sounds. There was a window in there. Judge larry let me help you out slumlords. She broke it. Judge patricia but you hear what youre saying . I did not my friend, who i took the place over for her kid broke the window. Every day, i would text her. Him ive never seen him before, ever. Judge patricia what is your relationship to her . Boyfriend. Judge patricia cause im wondering why, if hes your boyfriend, shes never seen him. Well, she did see him. I work out of town a lot. Judge patricia its your property or his property, maam . He owns the property. Judge patricia and you dealt with her but not him . Correct. Judge patricia well, im gonna say this letter that she wrote you was very kind. The fact that i paid you 900 to live in an apartment with no oven and no living room window was poor judgment, but now theres no water . oh, please judge bakman. Judge larry after she left the apartment, did you rerent it . Yes, we did. Judge tanya ugh. Judge larry in violation of the notice that it was condemned . No. Heres a letter from the city. I was informed on the 2nd of july. Judge larry let me see it. Dont say another word. About the water being off. Me, sir, is that you paid your water bill. Doesnt tell me that the place is not condemned any further. When you rerented, why didnt you cut her a check for the return of her Security Deposit . She lived there three weeks. Judge larry so what . She paid you rent. She had a lease, and it covered the july rent. Judge larry she moves into an apartment thats condemned, and youre now claiming you held on to the Security Deposit because she broke the lease . She never gave us any way to contact her. I attempted to judge larry [ laughing ] let me see that, miss sand. And, honestly judge larry hold on. Hold on, miss sand. Let me take a look at this. So, tell me, mr. Watson when amber was living in your condemned unit, what address [laughs] was your girlfriend living at, who was conducting business on your behalf . 3rd street. Judge larry sonia, why dont you show it to him . Why dont you just take a look, certified letter is addressed to the same address you just gave me . Yes, it is. [ laughter ] how come we never got it . I. Judge larry dont you think you owe her everything back that she paid you . Save face . No. Judge larry let me ask you this, miss sand youre suing for 1,275 when, in fact, you only gave 900 to these people. Whats the other money for . Moving expenses. I had to take time off from work. Judge larry do you have any proof of the moving expenses . I dont have any. Judge larry you should have sued for punitive damages. Judge tanya yes, you should have. Judge patricia were gonna retire to deliberate. Thank you. Sonia this courtroom is now in recess. Judge tanya no water, no stove. Judge patricia no window. Judge tanya [ laughing ] no window but she broke the lease. Judge patricia im really appalled by their behavior, and i am gonna tell you Something Else im taking this woman at her word that it cost her to move. We know she had to live there. We know she had to move. We know theres an expense to moving. She had to do so prematurely. Believe her, but i would have given her two or three times that, in punitive damages, for having to deal with these slumlords, so. Judge patricia im with you. I would have done the same. Judge larry well, were in a majority opinion. Judge patricia im good. Judge tanya me too. Judge patricia are we all good . Judge larry yes. Come to order. This courtroom is again in session. Judge tanya i dont know what to say to you two. I have never heard of anybody who can actually have the gall to look three officers of the court in the eye and say, we dont owe her any money, even though we had her in a windowless apartment with no water for two weeks, and we didnt give her the stove for which she bargained. You two should be ashamed of yourselves. You are slumlords. Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of 1,275. Thank you. Sonia this courtroom is now in recess. Common sense i should have known better than to move into a place that didnt have a living room window or a stove. She still lived there after the water was on. I mean, justice was served. I dont know about that. Sonia case number 274 on calendar, bradley vs. Gholson, please step forward.

Hot bench. Judge tanya it feels like a very simple case. This was a twoday appointment. The defendant didnt finish the first part of the appointment. How dare she come here and ask this woman for more money . Judge patricia i totally agree with you. I mean, the whole breach here was by the defendant in the first instance. She has no basis for a counterclaim, to say, well, you breached.

Judge larry and the fact that there was no meeting of the minds regarding the Cancellation Policy. There is no recovery for the defendant in the countersuit, and im with you in terms of the plaintiff recovering on the complaint. Judge tanya can i just throw something out there about this hair . Lets give her the money. We dont know what condition that hair is in. Judge patricia im with you. Sounds great. Im ready. Come to order. This courtroom is again in session. Judge patricia its a little unprofessional, under any circumstances, to take your child with you to a salon, to work. She engaged in a contractual obligation with you. You canceled on sunday, then, on monday, she called you and said, im just not coming back. You, then, are counterclaiming cause you say she breached. The breach, in the first place, was you. Youre not entitled to any money on the breach of contract. The judgment is in your favor for the amount you asked for, for the 234. Were not even gonna trust her to give you back the hair in the condition you bought it in. If you need the hair, go buy it yourself. Your counterclaim is dismissed. Sonia this courtroom is now in recess. Announcer hot bench and on the next hot bench. I didnt even check the yelp page. The yelp page was awful. Im a businesswoman. Like, she has one star. I took very good care of her. The example that i showed you. And shes scandalous. Was temporary synthetic hair. Shes very selfish, narrowminded. Do your research, cause, clearly, i didnt do mine.
