Judge Faith Season 1 Episode 37 Waterfall in the Bronx; The Shade Tree Mechanic

In the first case of Judge Faith season 1 episode 37, a woman who rented a room in a house with a waterfall in the Bronx sues her landlord for her security deposit and damages. The tenant claims that the waterfall caused damage to her personal belongings, and the landlord did not adequately address the issue. However, the landlord argues that the tenant caused the damage herself and did not notify her of any issues with the waterfall. Both parties provide evidence and witness testimony to support their claims, and Judge Faith must make a decision on who is responsible for the damages and if the tenant is owed her security deposit back.

In the second case, a man brings a lawsuit against a "shade tree" mechanic who did not complete the repairs on his car correctly. The plaintiff claims that the defendant promised to fix his car's transmission but instead caused more damage to the vehicle. The defendant argues that the plaintiff knew about the existing issues with the car and did not want to pay for the necessary repairs. The judge hears both sides, examines the evidence presented, and determines if the defendant is liable for the plaintiff's damages.

Throughout the episode, Judge Faith provides her signature tough-love style of guidance and advice, offering her insights and opinions on how to avoid similar situations in the future. Both cases serve as cautionary tales for renters and car owners alike, reminding viewers to always research their options and make informed decisions when entering into agreements with others.
