Ep 29. You Get What You Paint For!; Don't Fence Me In!
- October 19, 2017
In Judge Judy season 22 episode 29, titled "You Get What You Paint For!; Don't Fence Me In!", two separate cases are presented before Judge Judy. The first case involves two former tenants and their landlord. The tenants claim that they paid for improvements to the apartment, including painting the walls and replacing the carpet, but the landlord is now refusing to return their security deposit. The landlord, on the other hand, argues that the improvements made by the tenants were not up to standard and actually caused damage to the apartment, which is why the security deposit was not returned.
As the case unfolds, Judge Judy listens intently to both parties' arguments and demands evidence to support their claims. She notices inconsistencies in the landlord's story and ultimately rules in favor of the tenants, ordering the landlord to return their full security deposit.
The second case involves two neighbors who are in a dispute over a fence. The plaintiff claims that the defendant's fence is blocking his property and preventing him from accessing certain parts of his backyard. The defendant argues that the fence was put up to protect her property and prevent the plaintiff's dog from coming onto her land and causing damage.
Judge Judy asks both parties to provide documentation regarding the property lines and analyzes the photographs of the disputed area. She ultimately determines that the fence is indeed on the defendant's property and that the plaintiff has no right to access that portion of the land. She orders the plaintiff to stay off of the defendant's property and to stop harassing her about the fence.
Throughout both cases, Judge Judy shows her renowned ability to analyze the evidence presented before her and make fair and just rulings. Her no-nonsense attitude and sharp wit keep both the litigants and the audience engaged in the proceedings. Ultimately, the cases serve as a reminder that in Judge Judy's courtroom, you truly do get what you paint for.
