'Not So "Golden State"' & 'Out After 8 Years' & 'Botched Roof'

First, the plaintiff and defendant were Army buddies who decided to go on a trip to California together. The plaintiff paid for a portion of the defendant’s travel and lodging fees, but has yet to be repaid, so he’s suing. The defendant claims the plaintiff was desperate to go with a friend and had agreed to pay for the whole trip since the defendant couldn’t afford it. Then, the plaintiff says her landlord, the defendant, always seemed to be a nice guy, until he kicked her out of the apartment she’d lived in for eight years. She is suing for the security deposit he refuses to return. The defendant says the plaintiff has yet to return her keys or pick up some property she left behind, so he has every right to hold on to her deposit. Plus, the plaintiff hired her co-worker to redo the roofing on her house and paid him in full for the job. Three months later, it started leaking, and he refused to come fix it. The plaintiff learned it was a terrible roofing job and is suing to get the money she needs to fix the issues. The defendant says the damages were caused by a fallen tree branch… five years ago. He is countersuing for the money he’s still owed on the original roofing job. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
