- September 24, 2014
In this episode of Judge Judy, a dispute between two roommates over the condition of their bare bones apartment comes to a head. The plaintiff claims that her roommate has not contributed to the rent or utilities for months and has also let the apartment fall into disarray. She alleges that the defendant has not only destroyed the walls and ceiling but also left trash and broken furniture strewn throughout the apartment. The defendant claims that she has made several attempts to clean and repair the apartment, but the plaintiff has not held up her end of the agreement to split the rent and utilities evenly.
Adding to the dispute, the plaintiff brings a separate case to court against the defendant over a vintage clock that the plaintiff claims the defendant broke by dropping it. The defendant argues that the clock was already in disrepair and that the plaintiff is exaggerating the extent of the damage.
Judge Judy, known for her no-nonsense approach, listens to both sides and examines the evidence presented, including photographs of the apartment and the damaged clock. She questions both roommates about their responsibilities and the timeline of events leading up to the dispute.
As the case unfolds, Judge Judy makes it clear that she will not tolerate excuses or dishonesty from either party. She challenges the roommates to take responsibility for their actions and work towards a mutually beneficial solution.
Ultimately, Judge Judy reaches a verdict that will require both roommates to take responsibility for their actions and work together to resolve the issues in their apartment. She also orders the defendant to pay a portion of the cost to repair the clock, based on the evidence presented.
In the end, this episode of Judge Judy demonstrates the importance of communication and accountability in resolving disputes, no matter how small or large they may seem. It is a reminder to take responsibility for our actions and work towards finding solutions that are fair and just for everyone involved.
