In season 21 episode 332 of Judge Judy, titled "Show Me the Damage!; Don't Trust 5-Star Reviews!", two unique cases are presented to Judge Judy for her to make a ruling on. In the first case, a landlord is seeking compensation from a former tenant who leased out a unit with pets. The landlord contends that the animals caused significant damage to the property, including clawed walls and damaged flooring. The tenant disputes this, saying that the unit was in good condition upon moving out and that any damages were already present.
Judge Judy must examine all evidence presented by both parties and determine who is responsible for the damages. She scrutinizes the lease agreement, photographs of the damage, and the testimony of both parties to come to her verdict.
In the second case, a young woman is suing a cleaning service company that she hired to clean her home. The woman claims that the company left her home in worse condition than before they were hired. She states that the cleaners broke her baseboards, cracked her counters, and caused damage to her furniture. The company disputes this, saying that the damages were pre-existing and that the baseboards were already broken.
Judge Judy examines the cleaning service's work order and pictures of the damage. She also has the woman testify about the state of her home before and after the cleaning service was hired. With this information, Judge Judy must determine whether the cleaning service was negligent and caused the damages or if the damages already existed before they were hired.
Throughout the episode, Judge Judy offers insightful commentary and pointed questions for both parties, ensuring that she has a full understanding of the case before making her ruling. The two cases highlight the importance of establishing clear contracts and having documentation of any damages before and after a service is performed.
In the end, Judge Judy delivers her verdict with confidence and fairness, leaving both parties satisfied with the outcome. As always, her sharp wit and no-nonsense approach make for an entertaining and educational episode of Judge Judy.
