'A Dog Park Dilemma' & 'Keeping What's Not His' & 'Going-Bippity - Boppity-Gang'

First, the plaintiff was at the dog park with his dog when the defendant approached him with her dog. The defendant?s dog reportedly grabbed the plaintiff?s dog in its mouth. After the fact, the defendant refused to pay the vet bills for the plaintiff?s dog, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues that both she and the plaintiff are responsible pet owners, and it was impossible to tell which of their well-behaved dogs started the fight. She does not think she owes the plaintiff anything. Then, the plaintiff rented a two-bedroom home from the defendant and lived there for three years with her grandkids. She left the unit in perfect condition when she moved out but still can?t get her deposit back, so she?s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a nightmare tenant who brought in bed bugs, let the kids hang from the ceiling fan, broke her lease with one week?s notice, and kept the keys to the unit afterward. He is countersuing for additional damages. Plus, the plaintiff claims that while stopped at a red light, he was rear-ended by the defendant, causing him to rear-end the car in front of him. He claims the defendant lied to the cops about the event, saying she was also rear-ended in the event. The defendant argues that this was true and that the plaintiff had made a deal with her insurance company for a rental car. If they didn?t cash out, it?s not her problem.

'Locking Out a Friend' & 'Junking up a Jalopy' & 'Causing a Storm of Controversy'

First, the plaintiff and defendant used to be good friends, and they moved in together. The plaintiff says the defendant?s dog bit him, so he moved out. He claims the defendant locked him out and won?t let him pick up his belongings, so he?s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a bad roommate who broke everything. He?s countersuing for the cost of a washer and dryer and unpaid rent. Then, the plaintiff brought his car to the defendant?s car repair shop for a new motor. When he picked it up, the air conditioning didn?t work and the engine smoked when he started driving. The car broke down, so he?s suing for the cost of repairs and stress and aggravation. The defendant argues the plaintiff provided him with the wrong motor for his car. He did the work correctly and the plaintiff was happy when he picked it up. Plus, the plaintiff went to Mexico on vacation and when she got back, her apartment had been destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. She asked the defendant, her landlord, for her security deposit back when she moved out, but he refused. She?s suing for her deposit.

'Sandbagging a Friend' & 'Rubbing a Renter The Wrong Way' & 'Watch What You Are Doing!'

First, the plaintiff let the defendant, his neighbor, borrow two dune buggies from him. He says the defendant got a DUI and the cops impounded one of the vehicles. Now, the plaintiff has to pay tons in impound fees, so he?s suing. The defendant argues he asked the plaintiff if the cars were legal, but it turns out they didn?t have VINs or license plates. He thinks he paid his share because he had to spend several days in jail. Then, the plaintiff brings her landlord to court. She says her apartment was infested with mice and the defendant constantly harassed her. She ended up getting an order of protection against him, and then the defendant evicted her. She?s suing for three times the security deposit. The defendant argues he terminated her lease because someone broke the door. He says the plaintiff left her furniture behind, so he has the right to keep it. Plus, the plaintiff purchased a watch phone from the defendant. He says the watch phone ended up not working with his service provider, so he tried to return it. The defendant refused to take it back, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund and the cost of service. The defendant argues his store policy does not allow returns after seven days and it had been much longer than that for the plaintiff. Don?t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Then, the plaintiff brings her neighbor to court. She claims her neighbor?s two dogs bit through the fence separating their properties, causing a huge hole.

He?s countersuing for defamation and aggravation. Plus, the plaintiff rented a room to the defendant. Everything was fine until the defendant?s rent check bounced, so the plaintiff is suing.
