'Trucking It Up' & 'Teach Your Dog to Heel' & 'Ripping Off a Tenant'

First, the plaintiff took his truck to the defendant?s shop for repairs, only to get a call several weeks later from the cops saying it had been stolen and was currently at impound.

The defendant says the plaintiff was high on pot when the event happened, and she had told him to stay in the room he was in because she was letting her dogs out. He didn?t listen and went outside anyway. He admits to kicking one of the dogs, which caused the attack. Since the dog was trained as a guard dog, she?s not responsible for any damages. Plus, the plaintiff rented a house from the defendant, but after Hurricane Sandy hit, it became uninhabitable. Now the defendant is refusing to return the security deposit, and the plaintiff wants it back, so he?s suing. The defendant claims that the damages caused to the house had no impact on the floor the plaintiff lived on, but he decided to move out anyway.

'Not Being Nice to Auntie' & 'Being a Downward Dog' & 'Being Holey'

The plaintiff allowed her niece to live in her home with her, but now owes her rent. Her own family is disrespecting her, so she?s suing for the rent she deserves. The defendant says she?s lived in that house since long before her aunt took over the family finances and has never once been asked to pay rent. She?s a minister and doesn?t come from a place of hate. The plaintiff put down a deposit on the yoga studio the defendant was selling, but something felt off after the defendant?s wife hired her to be a yoga instructor.

The defendant says he was originally selling the place for much more but dropped the price after Hurricane Sandy hit. He claims the plaintiff originally took that deal but backed out because she didn?t have the money, not for other reasons. He doesn?t think he owes her a refund. The plaintiff brought a leather coat to the defendant for repair work on the buttons, which were loose. When she picked it up, however, the buttons were still loose, and there was a puncture in the leather. She is suing the defendant for the money she spent on repairs and the cost of travel to court. The defendant says he?s been in business for 40 years and comes from Italy, so he knows what he?s doing. He claims he was brought a vinyl jacket, not a leather one, and did the best work he could to repair it. He?s ready to defend his reputation.

First, the plaintiff and defendant have known each other since high school, and they dated for a while. He was driving the defendant?s car and got pulled over for illegally tinted windows, and he got a ticket for it. He claims his ex-girlfriend, the defendant, told him she would pay for the ticket fines, but she never did. His license got suspended and he was pulled from her insurance policy, so he?s suing. The defendant argues she never said she would cover the ticket costs. Then, the plaintiff brings his younger brother to court. Their other brother died, so the plaintiff paid for the defendant?s plane ticket to attend the funeral in Ecuador. The plaintiff says his brother hasn?t paid him back, so he?s suing. The defendant argues the ticket was a gift and he never agreed to pay. Plus, the plaintiff rented a room from the defendant after Hurricane Sandy left him homeless. He claims the defendant didn?t tell the other tenants that he had a dog, and she threatened to throw him out. He claims he refused to leave, so she shut off his utilities and threw trash all over his room. He?s suing for relocation costs. The defendant argues the plaintiff was disrespectful and other tenants moved out because of him. Don?t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

'Don?t Give a Stranger a Key' & 'What a Pleather' & 'Just Admit You Lied to Police'

First, the plaintiff is a real estate agent who rented a store to the defendant. He says the defendant owes him a commission for the deal, so he?s suing. The defendant argues the entire lawsuit is pointless and he doesn?t owe a penny. Then, the plaintiffs purchased an Italian leather couch from the defendant. They say the couch that got delivered to them was cheap vinyl, so they want a refund. The defendant argues the plaintiffs got the couch they ordered. He thinks they?re the type of people who will never be pleased. He doesn?t offer store refunds, either. Plus, the plaintiff says her son got a ride home with the defendant. It was rainy that day, and the defendant lost control of car and crashed into a tree. The plaintiff?s son was taken to the hospital, so the plaintiff wants the defendant to cover the hospital bills. The defendant argues the plaintiff?s son begged him not to put his name on the police report. Don?t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
