Judge Judy Season 16 Episode 218 Teen Rental Hijinx; Gimme Back My Dog!

In this episode of Judge Judy, season 16 episode 218, we witness two cases brought forward to the judge's court. The first case centers around a rental agreement between a young woman, named Haley, and her mother's friend, Julie.

Haley rented a room from Julie for $300 a month, but after only a month of living there, Julie evicted her and withheld Haley's security deposit. According to Julie, Haley was a nightmare tenant who was constantly breaking the rules and causing problems with the other residents in the house. However, Haley claims that Julie was the one who was difficult to live with, as she frequently yelled at her and the other tenants over trivial issues.

The judge listens to both sides of the story and determines that Haley was entitled to her security deposit, as Julie had not given her enough notice before evicting her. However, she also scolds Haley for her behavior and warns her to be a more responsible and respectful tenant in the future.

In the second case, a young woman named Kaitlyn is suing her ex-boyfriend, Tyler, for the return of her dog, a puggle named Stella. Kaitlyn claims that Tyler took Stella without her permission and has since refused to give her back. Tyler, on the other hand, argues that he was given full custody of the dog when Kaitlyn moved out of their shared apartment.

The judge is hesitant to get involved in what she believes to be a personal matter, as she explains that pets are considered property in the eyes of the law. However, she eventually rules in favor of Kaitlyn, as there is not enough evidence to support Tyler's claim that he was given full custody of the dog.

Overall, this episode of Judge Judy highlights the complex and emotionally charged nature of disputes between young adults. The judge must balance the legal rights of each party with their personal and emotional needs, all while ensuring that justice is served.
