'Letting Things Get Too Cold' & 'Stiffing a Tenant'

The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to fix his central air, and he replaced the condenser. The air would never shut off, but after a few months, the problem was finally fixed. He’s suing for the extra utility bills. The defendant says the plaintiff’s heater was malfunctioning and causing the problem. He denies any responsibility for the additional costs.

Then, the plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant. Now that she’s moved out, the defendant has come up with all sorts of excuses for not returning her security deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff changed the locks, left trash behind, and stiffed her on some of the rent. She’s countersuing for 10 months of late fees.
