First, the plaintiffs rented a house from the defendant and soon had the defendant’s family wandering in and out as if they lived there. The plaintiffs moved and have yet to be given their security deposit back, much less a reason why it’s been withheld. They are suing for the return of their security. The defendants say they had painted the unit with the understanding the plaintiffs would be staying a year, but instead they up and left only six weeks after moving in. The defendants are keeping the deposit to cover the cost of the paint job.

Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, his taxman, made a mistake on his tax return forms, causing him to pay more in interest than he should have. He has no problem paying what he owes to the IRS but doesn’t think he should pay for the additional $900 in interest from the mistake. He is suing the defendant as a result to get his money back. The defendant argues that the mistake was not his but the government’s, and the plaintiff really has an issue with them.

Plus, the plaintiff took his truck to the defendant to have the heater repaired, but when he got it back, the signal lights and brake lights didn’t work. He took it back to the defendant, and the second time he picked it up, he found his emergency lights would turn on when he signaled turning right. He is suing for the cost of getting his wiring redone. The defendant says he tested everything to make sure it was working, and it was. The complaints were for electrical issues, which he doesn’t even do. He’s innocent of any issues caused.
