'Locking Out a Friend' & 'Junking up a Jalopy' & 'Causing a Storm of Controversy'
Podcast: The People’s Court PodcastPublished On: Thu Apr 23 2026
Description: First, the plaintiff and defendant used to be good friends, and they moved in together. The plaintiff says the defendant’s dog bit him, so he moved out. He claims the defendant locked him out and won’t let him pick up his belongings, so he’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a bad roommate who broke everything. He’s countersuing for the cost of a washer and dryer and unpaid rent. Then, the plaintiff brought his car to the defendant’s car repair shop for a new motor. When he picked it up, the air conditioning didn’t work and the engine smoked when he started driving. The car broke down, so he’s suing for the cost of repairs and stress and aggravation. The defendant argues the plaintiff provided him with the wrong motor for his car. He did the work correctly and the plaintiff was happy when he picked it up. Plus, the plaintiff went to Mexico on vacation and when she got back, her apartment had been destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. She asked the defendant, her landlord, for her security deposit back when she moved out, but he refused. She’s suing for her deposit. The defendant argues the plaintiff let her son move in after the son got out of jail even though the defendant never approved it. He clams the son treated the apartment like a frat house.
