    'Not Cleaning Right' & 'Unloading a Clunker' & 'Leading a Lady Astray'

    First, the plaintiff says he and his girlfriend rented an apartment from the defendant, who promised to clean the place and make repairs before they moved in, but she did not. They claim the apartment was infested with bugs and that the defendant ignored their requests for a refund. They are suing for the money they are owed. The defendant says she worked hard to accommodate the plaintiffs and spent significant time cleaning the apartment before the move-in date. Then, out of nowhere, the plaintiffs texted her saying they weren’t moving in and wanted their deposit back. She says that when she refused, the plaintiffs threatened to blackmail her. She is countersuing for legal fees and early termination charges. Then, the plaintiff says he bought a car from the defendant, but when he brought it in for inspection, he was told it was undriveable due to a front-end issue. He’s suing for a refund. The defendants say the plaintiff didn’t contact them until 15 days after the sale. They argue too much time had passed and anything could have happened to the car while it was in the plaintiff’s possession. Plus, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant, a real estate broker, to help her find an apartment. Two months after she moved in, the unit was inspected and found to be illegal, forcing her out. She says the defendant refused to refund the broker fee. She’s suing for a refund. The defendant, who claims to have 35 years of experience, says the plaintiff was evicted for nonpayment of rent after a dispute with the landlord and that he did nothing wrong.

    'Running Out On Rent' & 'Just a Love Tap' & 'Trucking It Up'

    The plaintiff says the defendant, his coworker and roommate, owes him six months’ rent. He is suing for the unpaid amount. The defendant claims the plaintiff was a belligerent drunk and made the living situation intolerable. He says he doesn’t owe a cent. The plaintiff says he was driving his wife to work when the defendant rear-ended them. His son had to be taken to the hospital, and the defendant allegedly promised to pay for the damages and medical bills, but now refuses. He is suing for those costs. The defendant says it was his employee who was driving the car and that the incident was just a tap to the bumper. They claim the plaintiff’s vehicle already had prior damage they are now being unfairly blamed for. The plaintiff says he bought a pickup truck from the defendant, but soon discovered the engine was bad. He is suing for a refund. The defendant says he took the truck back and gave the plaintiff a discount on another vehicle as a trade-in, and therefore owes nothing.

    'Sticky Fingered Friend' & 'Cleaning Up Behind a Tenant' & 'A Bus Bust'

    First, the plaintiff says the defendant, his former friend, stole his phone from him. He has since filed a criminal case against the defendant and is suing him now for the cost of the phone. The defendant says he told the plaintiff where his phone was so he wouldn’t forget it, then the next day, he accused him of stealing it. Then, the plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant, but when she moved out, he kept a portion of her security deposit to pay for damages that already existed when she moved in. She is suing for the amount she believes she’s owed. The defendant says the plaintiff left the apartment filthy and that he had to hire a crew to clean and prep it for the next tenants. Plus, the plaintiff says she hired a party bus from the defendant, but when it arrived, it was just a regular coach bus. The defendant admitted the mistake and promised to send a proper party bus another day. However, when the plaintiff tried to reschedule, he told her it would cost $700 for gas and tolls. She’s suing for a refund. The defendant says it was prom night, the party bus fell through, and he had to scramble to find a replacement. He claims he provided a luxury coach bus with a dance floor, an upgrade from what was originally booked. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    'Dog Snatchers' & 'Snatching a Car' & 'Bailing on the Bathroom Guy'

    First, the plaintiff says her friend found a stray dog out in the cold on Christmas Eve and gave it to her to care for until the rightful owner came forward. After confirming the dog had no microchip, she decided to keep it rather than take it to a shelter. Weeks later, a young man approached her husband while he was walking the dog and claimed it was his, then took the dog without providing any proof of ownership. She’s suing for the money they spent caring for the animal. One of the defendants says she posted flyers in the neighborhood when her dog went missing and believes the plaintiffs stole it. Then, the plaintiff says he parked his car in a guest parking spot at his condominium complex and the defendant towed it. They’re supposed to place a sticker on the car warning him of an impending tow, but they didn’t. They still have his car, so he is suing. The defendants, representing the tow company and the condominium complex, say the car was tagged twice, alerting the plaintiff that they were going to tow the illegally parked car, but the plaintiff ignored their warnings. Plus, the plaintiff says he remodeled the defendant’s bathroom, but he was stiffed on the final payment. He is suing for the money owed. The defendant says the two-week job ended up taking three months and the job wasn’t completed to his satisfaction. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    'Sneaky Sister' & 'Ruining a Roommate’s Love Life' & 'Rotten Repairing'

    First, the plaintiff says he’s been a sneaker collector for years and owns several rare and valuable pairs. He claims the defendant, his sister, stole some of his most expensive sneakers. He’s suing for the value of the stolen items. The defendant says she and her older brother have never been close, but denies stealing his shoes. She’s countersuing for slander and defamation of character. Then, the plaintiff says he rented a room from the defendant, but the defendant complained that there was too much noise coming from his room when his girlfriend was over. He agreed to move out early, but claims the defendant bounced his refund check. He’s suing for the return of the money he’s owed. The defendant argues that the plaintiff broke their three-month lease agreement by moving out early and, as a result, he’s not entitled to any refund. Plus, the plaintiff says he brought his car to the defendant’s shop to have the fender repaired. He claims the defendant’s team backed the car into something, causing more damage, then kept the vehicle for months and ultimately did a poor repair job. He’s suing for the cost of additional repairs. The defendant says they fixed the fender, but one of his employees accidentally sideswiped the car with a tow truck, prompting additional repairs. He claims they covered the cost of the plaintiff’s extended rental and that the car was in mint condition when it left the shop. He says he doesn’t understand why he’s being sued.

    'Fouling Up a Friendship' & 'You Have Some Nerve' & 'I Flipped Over Your Dog'

    First, the plaintiff says the defendant, an old friend, brokered a car sale on his behalf but pulled a switcheroo at the last minute. He believed he was buying a 1998 Pontiac, but when he received the title, it turned out to be a 1994. The defendant refuses to return the money, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund. Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, her former landlord, abruptly told her to vacate the property without explanation. When she asked for her security deposit back, he refused. She’s suing for the return of that deposit. The defendant says the plaintiff was a messy tenant and he no longer wanted her in the unit. He claims she left behind 30 large bags of garbage and caused significant damage to the apartment. Plus, the plaintiff says he was riding his motorcycle when the defendant’s dog suddenly charged at him. He struck the dog, flipped over, and suffered cracked ribs. He says he’s lucky to be alive. The police issued the defendant a ticket for having an unleashed dog. After sending a letter requesting compensation and receiving no response, he’s now suing for damages. The defendant says the dog reacted to the sound of the motorcycle and ran toward it. He claims the plaintiff accelerated rather than slowing down, which is why the collision occurred.

    'Low Blow Tow' & 'X Marks the Spot' & 'Standing Firm'

    First, the plaintiff says he was driving his dump truck when it died in the middle of the road. The police called the defendant to tow the vehicle, and he later presented the plaintiff with a $750 bill. The plaintiff says the tow was only 10 miles and is suing for lost wages and legal fees. The defendant says his driver charged $200 for the emergency tow, but the plaintiff offered only $100. When his driver refused the partial payment, he informed the plaintiff the vehicle would be taken back to the shop, which would cost another $200. He claims the plaintiff later showed up at the shop, became aggressive, and was arrested after police were called. Then, the plaintiff says he was hired to dig a water well on the defendant’s property. He drilled and dug the well, but no water was found. He claims the defendant accused him of drilling in the wrong spot and refused to pay. He is suing for unpaid services. The defendant says he marked the spot with a stake after using a dozer to locate water, but the plaintiff drilled about five feet away from the mark. He argues that the plaintiff failed to drill in the correct location, didn’t find water, and won’t be paid until he does. Plus, the plaintiff says she agreed to rent a room in the defendant’s home but changed her mind before moving in. She claims the defendant promised to refund her deposit, but he hasn’t, so she’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff and her girlfriend gave him the money to hold the room. A few days later, she backed out, began making threats, and even involved the police. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

    'Is Your Refrigerator Running?' & 'Behind Door Number One' & 'Not Yelling Fore'

    First, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to repair her refrigerator, but he failed to fix it and left two large holes in her kitchen. She’s suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant says he advised her to replace the refrigerator entirely, but she insisted on a repair. He claims she agreed to let him cut holes in the wall to vent a new compressor. Then, one of the plaintiffs says she went to an out-of-town wedding for the weekend, and when she returned, there was a large hole in her front door, the lock was missing, and notices indicated that the defendant, their landlord, needed access to the unit. The plaintiffs claim they were effectively evicted and are suing for the return of their security deposit and travel-related damages. The defendant says the plaintiffs left the apartment a mess and is countersuing for window repairs. Plus, the plaintiff says she was driving near her local country club when she suddenly heard a loud clunk. Her windshield had been shattered by a golf ball. She says she tried calling the defendant several times to settle the issue, but he ignored her. She’s suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant says he would take responsibility, but there’s no proof he was the one who hit the ball. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.
