The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiffs rented a house from the defendant and soon had the defendant’s family wandering in and out as if they lived there. The plaintiffs moved and have yet to be given their security deposit back, much less a reason why it’s been withheld. They are suing for the return of their security. The defendants say they had painted the unit with the understanding the plaintiffs would be staying a year, but instead they up and left only six weeks after moving in. The defendants are keeping the deposit to cover the cost of the paint job.

Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, his taxman, made a mistake on his tax return forms, causing him to pay more in interest than he should have. He has no problem paying what he owes to the IRS but doesn’t think he should pay for the additional $900 in interest from the mistake. He is suing the defendant as a result to get his money back. The defendant argues that the mistake was not his but the government’s, and the plaintiff really has an issue with them.

Plus, the plaintiff took his truck to the defendant to have the heater repaired, but when he got it back, the signal lights and brake lights didn’t work. He took it back to the defendant, and the second time he picked it up, he found his emergency lights would turn on when he signaled turning right. He is suing for the cost of getting his wiring redone. The defendant says he tested everything to make sure it was working, and it was. The complaints were for electrical issues, which he doesn’t even do. He’s innocent of any issues caused.

First, the plaintiff says she had agreed to rent an apartment from the defendant, who promised the current tenant had been evicted and the place was ready on January 1. When the plaintiff went to pick up her keys at the end of December, she found the previous tenant was still there and refusing to leave. The plaintiff is standing up for her rights and suing for the return of the rent she paid. The defendant says she thought the plaintiff would be a perfect fit for her unit but was mistaken. She says the plaintiff is crazy and has been making wild accusations against her for a while. Since no money was exchanged, she doesn’t owe the plaintiff anything.

Then, the plaintiff says the defendant is a scoundrel who sold him a car with a fried engine and is suing to get his money back. The defendant says the plaintiff took the car for a test drive and liked it, so he put down a deposit. All he knows is he sold the plaintiff a perfectly fine car, and nothing was wrong at the time of sale.

Plus, the plaintiff has been using the defendant’s shipping company for a year, and one of his packages has gone missing. The defendant supposedly handles many packages a day and didn’t have time to check delivery on just the one. The plaintiff wants to be reimbursed for the lost merchandise and is suing. The defendant says he has packages delivered to his store for clients all the time and has records of each one. The “missing package” was never logged in his books, despite the plaintiff saying it had been delivered, so he says he’s not at fault for a shipping mistake.
