The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiffs are a father and son. The son rented an apartment from the defendant, but the defendant had a problem with the plaintiff’s pet ferret. He had to move out, so he’s suing for the cost of the security deposit and a listing fee. The defendant argues the plaintiff never told him about the ferret and he had an allergic reaction to it. He says the animal stunk up their apartment. Then, the plaintiff brought her car to the defendants’ shop, and they did a terrible job. She says they never painted the roof and left drip marks on it. She’s suing for the cost of repainting the vehicle. The defendants argue they didn’t redo the roof because there weren’t any dents, so there wasn’t anything to fix. They claim they did everything they could to make the plaintiff happy, but she just wasn’t having it. They’re countersuing for unpaid work.

First, the plaintiff hired the defendant to move a piano out of her house. She says the defendant’s workers damaged her door and porch while moving it, so she’s suing for damages. The defendant admits he hit the piano on the door, but there’s no proof of the porch. He doesn’t think he owes her because she’s suing so many months after it happened. Then. the plaintiff’s kitchen flooded due to a clogged pipe and damaged the place. He claims the flood was a larger problem with the condo and not something specific with his unit. He had to clean up the mess, so he’s suing for legal and cleaning fees. The defendant argues the plaintiff caused the pipe damage, so the condo board doesn’t need to pay.
