The People's Court Season 20 Episode 33 House Cleaning Horror
- October 26, 2016
In season 20, episode 33 of The People's Court, titled House Cleaning Horror, Judge Marilyn Milian presides over a case involving a dispute over cleaning services. The plaintiff, Wendy, claims that she hired the defendant, Maria, to clean her house but was dissatisfied with the results.
According to Wendy, Maria failed to clean some areas of her home, did not properly dust or vacuum, and did not clean the bathrooms to Wendy's satisfaction. Wendy also claimed that Maria left the house in a mess, with cleaning supplies scattered throughout and some areas of the house left untouched.
The defendant, Maria, argued that she did her best to clean the house but that Wendy's expectations were unreasonable. Maria claimed that Wendy wanted her to clean areas that were not part of the original agreement, such as the inside of the refrigerator and the oven. Maria also argued that Wendy's house was cluttered and that it was difficult to clean properly.
During the trial, Judge Milian heard from both parties and asked for evidence to support their claims. Wendy provided photos of areas of her house that she claimed were not properly cleaned, while Maria presented her cleaning schedule and photos of areas that she had cleaned.
After reviewing the evidence and hearing testimony from both parties, Judge Milian rendered her verdict. She found that Maria had not fulfilled her obligations as a cleaning service provider and ordered her to refund a portion of the payment to Wendy.
The case highlights the importance of clear agreements between service providers and clients, as well as the need for effective communication and mutual understanding of expectations. It also shows the importance of evidence in resolving disputes and making fair judgments. Ultimately, Judge Milian's decision serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability in all aspects of business and personal interactions.
