- July 8, 2016
In season 19 episode 159 of The People's Court, titled "Making A Lot Of Noise," Judge Marilyn Milian presides over a case involving a loud and disruptive tenant. The plaintiff, a landlord, claims that the defendant, a tenant, has been causing disturbances with loud music and parties, disturbing the peace of the other residents in the building.
The plaintiff presents evidence in the form of witness testimony and video recordings of the defendant's parties. The defendant, however, argues that the noise complaints were exaggerated and that the plaintiff was simply trying to evict him without cause.
As the case progresses, Judge Milian attempts to determine the credibility of both parties and their respective witnesses. She questions the plaintiff's witnesses about the frequency and volume of the noise, and asks the defendant to explain why he continued to play loud music despite complaints from his neighbors.
In addition to considering the noise complaints, Judge Milian also examines the lease agreement between the plaintiff and defendant. She notes that the lease specifically prohibits conduct that interferes with other residents' peaceful enjoyment of the property and that the defendant had signed the agreement.
Throughout the case, Judge Milian maintains control of the courtroom, asking relevant questions and keeping the proceedings on track. She also offers words of advice to both parties, reminding them of their responsibilities as landlord and tenant.
As the case comes to a close, Judge Milian delivers her verdict, based on the evidence presented. She orders the defendant to pay the plaintiff for damages caused by the loud parties and also issues a warning that continued disturbances will result in eviction.
Overall, this episode of The People's Court provides an interesting look at the legal issues faced by landlords and tenants, particularly with regard to noise complaints. Judge Milian's impartial and thorough approach to the case ensures that both parties are heard and that a fair decision is reached.
