Judge Faith Season 1 Episode 35 Baby Boy Tenant; Look What I Can Do

The reality TV show, Judge Faith, aired its first season in 2014 and follows the cases handled by Judge Faith Jenkins in her courtroom. In season 1, episode 35, titled "Baby Boy Tenant; Look What I Can Do," Judge Faith faces a unique dispute between two tenants in an apartment building.

The plaintiff, a single mother with a young child, rented the apartment from the defendant, who also resides in the building. According to the plaintiff, she had been experiencing a leaky faucet and repeatedly requested the landlord to repair it. However, her complaints went unheard, causing flooding in the kitchen and bathroom. Consequently, the plaintiff had to spend a few days away from the apartment to avoid risking her child's health.

The plaintiff sued the defendant for damages and rental reduction. On the other hand, the defense argued that the plaintiff was at fault because she was not careful when leaving the water running, hence causing the flooding. Additionally, the defendant claimed that she was not aware of the extent of the damage caused by the leaking water.

As Judge Faith listened to both sides, she tried to establish the exact cause of the flooding and the extent of the damage. She asked the plaintiff to present receipts and pictures of the damage, which the plaintiff provided. The judge then asked the defendant whether she had any proof that the plaintiff was at fault, but the defendant could not provide any.

Judge Faith then investigated the damages to the apartment and confirmed that the water leak was not a result of the plaintiff's negligence. The judge also ascertained the extent of the damage, enough to warrant a reduction in rent. Therefore, Judge Faith ruled in favor of the plaintiff and ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff the requested damages and reduce the rent on the apartment for the warranted time.

In the second case in this episode, Judge Faith presided over an amusing and unique dispute between two former roommates. The plaintiff had moved out of the apartment, but left a toy in her former roommate's dog's bowl. The defendant claimed that the toy was an infringement of her dog's privacy and that the plaintiff had no right to leave the toy behind. The plaintiff, on the other hand, held that the toy was a gift, and she had every right to give it to her former roommate's dog.

At this point, Judge Faith attempted to understand the issue better by asking the defendant about her relationship with the plaintiff. The defendant revealed that they had a long-standing dispute, and the toy situation was merely the tipping point. Judge Faith attempted to take a humorous approach to the case by questioning the defendant about her beliefs of her dog's privacy being invaded by the toy.

In the end, Judge Faith concluded that the situation was not beyond repair and that the former roommates needed to address their underlying issues. She, therefore, ruled that the toy rightfully belonged to the defendant's dog, but the plaintiff could visit her dog if she wished.

In conclusion, season 1, episode 35 of Judge Faith was an intriguing episode that featured two unique cases. The episode highlights the judge's impartiality and humor as she attempted to understand the issues and make fair rulings in both cases.
