The plaintiff gave the defendant a deposit for an apartment. Unfortunately, the plaintiff says he was told two months later the apartment was no longer available. The defendant won’t return his security deposit, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant claims the plaintiff dragged his feet trying to come up with the deposit money, and then he backed out all of a sudden.

    She actually dodged a bullet. If he was giving her problems before renting, he would’ve given her problems as a tenant.

    Landlord dodged a bullet. He would've never paid rent on time.
  • @Nevaeh1
    The defendant was really trying to work with him because most landlords aren’t that patient with prospective tenants

    Sometimes it's just best to cut your loses. The defendant was willing to cut the $350 she was out of until the plaintiff insisted upon a lawsuit. Plaintiff not only loses but now has to pay an extra $350. Dude should have let well enough be.
  • @rs61434
    man if a person has to pay you in installments for the deposit what makes your think you'll regularly get the rent?
  • @BobBlumenfeld
    Anybody who has to "work out" how they're going to pay the deposit is very likely going to have to "work out" how to meet the rent every month.

    When the plaintiff couldn't come up with the total security initially, she should have foreseen that he would be a problem.She tried working with him, but he dropped the ball. So many people have no clue as to what a security deposit entails.

    Always funny when the plaintiff sues and lose and have to end up paying the defendant 😅
  • @EduardoGonzalez-qm2uk
    He knew he was supposed to pay, he just was gonna make her fight for it instead of just doing the right thing!
  • @csims81love
    It must suck to bring someone to court and turnaround look bad yourself!😅

    Willy couldn't afford the place from the start and he knew it
  • @DonziGT230
    She dodged a bullet by him not moving in.
  • @hadley407
    She said he was working 60-70 hrs a week so it really surprised me that he would have trouble paying the $600 over the course of a couple months but that could indicate that he might also have trouble paying the $950 in rent at some point as well
  • @surfbreak190
    Legend has it, the plaintiff still doesn't understand
  • @tamekadavis6641
    If he didn't have all the money to begin with than she should've told him no period. 💯
  • @mmmfun77
    He went to sue her then ended owing!
  • @baninagentry2415
    That request to make the deposit in installments would have been denied. He can't pay the deposit, then he most likely couldn't pay the rent.
  • @carriepriegel6477
    Riddle me this: how do vast majority of litigants get through each & every day?? So lax, so non responsive THEN make demands they aren’t privy to per the law.🤷🤷🤷
  • @carolynrose4525
    If he is working 70-80 hrs a week how can he not afford rent?!!
