First, the plaintiff and defendant have been friends since childhood. She and the defendant rented an apartment together and renewed the lease for a second year. The plaintiff says the defendant stopped paying rent, so she’s suing for bills, rent, and other money she is owed. The defendant argues she paid her fair share and doesn’t need to pay. Then, the plaintiff bought a used car from the defendant. She claims the defendant manipulated her and the sales papers to make it look like she paid less, which is fraud. The plaintiff is suing for her money back. The defendant argues he did not falsify any papers. He says the plaintiff paid monthly but then stopped, so he charged her for late fees. The defendant is countersuing for late fees, harassment, and defamation of character. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
