Hot Bench Season 6 Episode 25 Instant Romantic Crush!; Meet Your New Roommate: A Cockroach!

Hot Bench season 6 episode 25, titled "Instant Romantic Crush!; Meet Your New Roommate: A Cockroach!" features two cases presented to Judge Acker and Judges Corriero and DiMango.

In the first case, a woman claims that a mutual friend's recommendation led her to hire the defendant, a handyman, to fix multiple items in her home. However, she argues that the defendant's flirtatious behavior, which included sending her lengthy text messages and writing her love songs, made her feel uncomfortable and led her to terminate his services. The defendant denies any wrongdoing and argues that he was only trying to be friendly and helpful. Judge Acker and Judges Corriero and DiMango must determine if the defendant's behavior constitutes harassment and if the plaintiff is entitled to a refund for incomplete work.

The second case involves a tenant who claims that her landlord failed to take action when she reported a cockroach infestation in her apartment. The plaintiff alleges that despite numerous complaints and requests for extermination services, the landlord failed to adequately address the issue, leading to significant emotional distress and financial harm. The defendant landlord argues that she did take action and that the plaintiff did not give her enough time to remedy the situation. Judge Acker and Judges Corriero and DiMango must determine whether the defendant breached her duty to provide a habitable living space and if the plaintiff is entitled to damages.

Throughout the episode, Judge Acker, Judges Corriero, and DiMango question witnesses, hear testimony, and deliberate on each case before reaching a decision. The episodes in this season of Hot Bench highlight various legal disputes and personal conflicts, providing insight into the legal system and its workings.
