Judge Faith Season 2 Episode 111 Realty Reality. | Your Rent is Due

In season 2 episode 111 of Judge Faith, titled Realty Reality: Your Rent is Due, the honorable Judge Faith Jenkins presides over a dispute between a landlord and tenant regarding overdue rent payments and alleged damages to the rental property.

The case begins with the plaintiff, a landlord who is seeking to collect back rent from the defendant, a tenant who had fallen behind on payments and eventually vacated the premises. The plaintiff claims that the defendant owes several months' rent and has caused extensive damage to the property, including holes in the walls and broken appliances. The plaintiff presents photographic evidence of the damages and rental agreements showing the terms of the lease.

The defendant, however, argues that the landlord had failed to make necessary repairs to the property and had not responded to complaints about the state of the rental. She also claims that she had paid rent up until the point she left the apartment, and that the plaintiff is inflating the cost of damages.

As Judge Faith listens to both sides of the story, she conducts a thorough review of the lease agreement and the evidence presented, questioning each party to clarify their arguments and evidence.

Throughout the course of the case, Judge Faith notes that the rental agreement clearly states the terms of rent and payment, and that the defendant had signed the agreement. Additionally, she questions the validity of the defendant's claims of improper upkeep on the part of the plaintiff, and ultimately finds that the plaintiff is owed a certain amount of back rent, as well as compensation for damages to the property.

In her ruling, Judge Faith emphasizes the importance of both landlords and tenants fulfilling their obligations under lease agreements, and cautions renters to fully understand the terms of their leasing agreements before signing.
