Podcast: The People’s Court PodcastPublished On: Thu Feb 19 2026
Description: First, the plaintiff and defendant used to be in a relationship, and they lived together. The plaintiff says she bought a car and her ex-boyfriend took it after a few weeks. He sped over train tracks and the car went flying, causing the car to break down. She says the defendant refuses to pay her, so she’s suing for damages. The defendant argues they bought the car together. He claims the plaintiff is holding his belongings hostage and caused him to get fired. Then, the plaintiff hired the defendant to refinish his wood floors. He claims the defendant completely botched the job, so he’s suing for a refund, damages, and the cost of new flooring. The defendant argues he has been doing floors for 25 years, and the plaintiff is just one of those customers who is never happy. Plus, the plaintiff rented a house from the defendant. She says the place smelled like cat urine because the previous tenant was a cat hoarder who had 60 felines. The plaintiff claims the defendant won’t return her security deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff complained about problems from the start. He claims the plaintiff left the house a mess when she moved out, so he has every right to hold her security deposit.
