Judge Judy Season 18 Episode 70 Tenant Power Struggle; Child Day-Care Provider Dispute

In this episode of Judge Judy, two very different cases are heard. The first is a Tenant Power Struggle, where two roommates are fighting over their lease. One of the roommates initially invited a third person to come and live with them in the apartment, but then the original two tenants had a disagreement and the third roommate ended up staying while the other original roommate moved out. Now, the two remaining roommates are fighting over who has the right to the lease and how to proceed with the living arrangements. Judge Judy has to navigate through the complex situation and determine who has the legal rights to the lease and what the best course of action is for all involved.

The second case is a Child Day-Care Provider Dispute. One woman claims that she was a babysitter for another woman's child for six months. She says that she was not paid for her services and that the mother cancelled her cheque for the one time she did receive payment. The woman sues for the amount owed to her, while the mother counters her claims and insists that the babysitter was unreliable and did not take proper care of her child. As the case goes on and more details come to light, Judge Judy has to decipher who is telling the truth and make a decision on what should be done to resolve the disagreement.

Throughout both cases, Judge Judy provides insights and commentary on how to handle disputes in a fair and logical manner, often highlighting the importance of communication and clear agreements. She is not afraid to ask pointed questions and hold all parties accountable for their actions, leading to some tense moments in the courtroom. Ultimately, she works to come to a conclusion that is just for all involved and provides guidance for how they can move forward with their lives.
