First, the plaintiff says he and his girlfriend rented an apartment from the defendant, who promised to clean the place and make repairs before they moved in, but she did not. They claim the apartment was infested with bugs and that the defendant ignored their requests for a refund. They are suing for the money they are owed. The defendant says she worked hard to accommodate the plaintiffs and spent significant time cleaning the apartment before the move-in date. Then, out of nowhere, the plaintiffs texted her saying they weren’t moving in and wanted their deposit back. She says that when she refused, the plaintiffs threatened to blackmail her. She is countersuing for legal fees and early termination charges.

Then, the plaintiff says he bought a car from the defendant, but when he brought it in for inspection, he was told it was undriveable due to a front-end issue. He’s suing for a refund. The defendants say the plaintiff didn’t contact them until 15 days after the sale. They argue too much time had passed and anything could have happened to the car while it was in the plaintiff’s possession.

Plus, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant, a real estate broker, to help her find an apartment. Two months after she moved in, the unit was inspected and found to be illegal, forcing her out. She says the defendant refused to refund the broker fee. She’s suing for a refund. The defendant, who claims to have 35 years of experience, says the plaintiff was evicted for nonpayment of rent after a dispute with the landlord and that he did nothing wrong.
