Judge Judy Season 1 Episode 133 Couple splits up; unpaid rent.

In the first season, episode 133 of Judge Judy, a couple is brought to court over unpaid rent after they split up. The plaintiff, a landlord, claims that after he evicted the two tenants from his property, they failed to pay the remaining rent for the month. The defendants argue that they should not have to pay for rent that they did not use, and that the landlord has been harassing them since they split up.

As Judge Judy begins to question the defendants, it becomes clear that there is more to their story than meets the eye. The couple had been together for several years and had recently broken up due to infidelity on the part of one of the defendants. The judge listens patiently as each party gives their side of the story, trying to determine the truth of what happened.

The landlord presents evidence in the form of text messages and emails between himself and the defendants, showing that he had tried to work out a payment plan with them but they had refused to cooperate. The defendants claim that they were willing to pay the rent but wanted a reduction due to the fact that they had not stayed in the unit for the entire month.

Judge Judy seems skeptical of their argument, pointing out that they had broken the terms of their lease by subletting the apartment to other people without permission. She also questions the defendants about their personal lives, trying to get to the bottom of what led to their breakup. The couple becomes increasingly agitated and defensive, which only raises more suspicions in the judge's mind.

As the trial progresses, it becomes clear that both parties are at fault in some way. The defendants violated their lease agreement and were not forthright with the landlord about their intentions, while the landlord did not handle the eviction process in a professional manner. Despite the heated emotions on both sides, Judge Judy remains calm and fair, trying to come up with a solution that will satisfy all parties involved.

In the end, the judge awards the landlord the full amount of unpaid rent, as well as damages for the costs he incurred during the eviction process. She also cautions the defendants to be more honest and transparent in their dealings with others, and advises them to seek counseling to work through their personal issues. Though no one leaves the courtroom completely happy, Judge Judy's ruling is seen as a reasonable and just resolution to the conflict.
