'Business Partner Chaos' & 'Stiffing a Landlord' & 'Doing The Right Thing'
First, the plaintiff was in business with the defendant for a while before the defendant left to start her own business. The plaintiff claims she stole a computer, customers, and other items from him, and is suing for lost profit, defamation, lawyer fees, and stolen property. The defendant says the plaintiff tried to make her sign a contract she didn’t want to sign, broke into her Facebook account, and is still making money off her image without her permission.
Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, his tenant, is trying to stiff him on a gas bill the defendant has had nothing to do with in eight months. He is suing to get the cost of the bill back. The defendant argues the cost was included in his rent and he never received a single gas bill to pay. He doesn’t believe he owes anything.
Plus, the plaintiff discovered a dent on her car after returning from errands, with a note attached that included a phone number. The defendant, who caused the damages, is now giving the plaintiff the runaround and refuses to pay for repairs, so she’s suing him. The defendant admits to causing the damages, but claims the plaintiff was parked illegally and he was running late for a doctor’s appointment. He argues it was her own fault for creating a hazardous situation.

First, the plaintiff was out walking his dogs when the defendant’s unleashed dog ran over and attacked them. The defendant never apologized, so the plaintiff is suing for the cost of vet bills. The defendant claims it was the plaintiff’s dogs who came at her friendly dog, who only reacted out of self-defense, which the cops agreed on.
Then, the plaintiff rented out the defendant’s unit for three years, and when she moved out, he kept part of her security deposit to repaint. The state law required him to repaint every three years regardless of damage, so she’s suing to get her money back. The defendant says the plaintiff painted her bedroom a very dark color, and he kept part of the deposit because it required extra paint and primer for him to paint over.
Plus, the plaintiffs purchased a breed kitten from the defendant, only to discover it had a birth defect that made breathing difficult. They are accusing the defendant of breeding cats for money instead of health and are suing for their money back. The defendant has been breeding cats for long enough that had the kitten had any issues, she would have kept it for herself to care for. She believes the plaintiffs left the animal in a cold house.

'Mom Vs Son' & 'Slippery Groomer' & 'Missing Sweater'
First, the plaintiff threw a graduation party for her son, the defendant, who later attacked her during a disagreement over a girl. He damaged several pieces of property in the process, and she’s suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant says his mom has a drinking problem and is just suing him so he’ll look bad.
Then, the plaintiff says her dog was injured after a slip while at the groomers and says it’s the defendant’s fault. She’s suing the defendant for the vet bill so she’s held accountable. The defendant says she’s groomed the dog for years and knew he had hip issues; it was nothing that happened under her watch.
Plus, the plaintiff hired the defendant to watch her children and realized afterward that an expensive and brand-new sweater was missing. She says the defendant refused to return it, so she’s suing for the cost of the item. The defendant says she was never paid to watch the kids and doesn’t even know why she’s being sued.

'Wrong Place, Wrong Time' & 'Get Your Car Outta Here' & 'New Owner, New Troubles'
First, the plaintiff caught the defendant red-handed destroying his house. The defendant and another person threw open cans of pink paint onto the walls and on the carpets. The defendants are mother and daughter. She claims her daughter is a straight-A student who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Then, the defendant says she came home from work one night and parked her Chevy Trailblazer where she always parks it. Her neighbors got offended and had it towed. Her medication was in that car, and her life could have been in jeopardy if she didn't have extra in her house. The defendant says this whole lawsuit is just ridiculous because they do, in fact, have assigned spots at their complex and the plaintiff was parked in hers. She called the management office, who instructed her to call a tow company, and that's just what she did.
Plus, the plaintiff says her landlord sold the building she was living in, and when she left, she asked the new owner, the defendant, to return a security deposit. The defendant kept coming up with every excuse not to pay her what he owes. She claims she left the place in pristine condition.
