00:00Well, even with a road map, and after a long nap,
00:06I couldn't figure out what you two people are suing each other for.
00:10All I know is that the two of you
00:12decided to live together for a period of time.
00:16Each of you has a child.
00:17Is that right?
00:18Correct.
00:18How old are you?
00:19I'm 19.
00:20And how old's your child?
00:21Three.
00:22Terrific.
00:22And how old are you?
00:23I'm 20.
00:24And how old's your child?
00:25Four.
00:27What an America.
00:28Anyway, you decided to live together.
00:30It didn't work out.
00:32And each of you wants $5,000 from the other.
00:34That's the only thing that I could figure out.
00:36You're suing for $5,000.
00:38You're countersuing for $5,000.
00:40You have five minutes watching my clock.
00:45So explain to me why you're suing her for $5,000.
00:49I'm suing Amber because when she asked me to move in with her,
00:53my agreement with her was, the only way that I will move in with you
00:56is if Louie is not there.
00:58There is no drugs in the house.
01:00I do not want your dog there.
01:01I do not like dogs.
01:02Louie is the boyfriend?
01:03Yes, that is her boyfriend.
01:05She said, okay, he won't be there.
01:07The dog will be gone.
01:09And Mr. Lopez, the owner of the property,
01:11does know that you will be living here.
01:13Well, none of the above happened.
01:15She didn't let the landlord know that I was there.
01:19My mother spoke to the owner of the property, and he said, no, I did not know.
01:24There's eight people living in a three-bedroom house, okay?
01:27The dog has attacked the mail lady and another mailman, a substitute.
01:33I told her, Amber, you know, it's not fair.
01:35We don't get our mail because of your dog.
01:37Take care of it.
01:38I told her, split the bills up evenly.
01:40She didn't.
01:41Her boyfriend was there 90% of the time.
01:43If it wasn't her boyfriend, it was her brother, 13 years old, not in school, watching TV,
01:48playing video games, eating the food.
01:52She didn't pay for any of the food.
01:54One time, $30.
01:55The rest of the food was bought by me.
01:58The electricity, I'm not paying for her boyfriend and her brother.
02:02She wants to divide it up evenly, divide it up by eight.
02:06Her brother, her, her daughter, her boyfriend, my daughter, me, and the other two roommates.
02:12That's how it should be divided up.
02:13If she's charging for us, for her boyfriend to be there and her brother to be there, that's
02:18what I think.
02:19Why didn't you move out?
02:20I gave her my 30 days notice.
02:22Just a minute.
02:23How long did you live there?
02:24I lived there for a month.
02:25So?
02:26So what are you suing her for?
02:27Because she had broken my bedroom window trying to move her stuff or her boyfriend's
02:32stuff and because it was raining and the weather damaged, she said she would get it fixed
02:37as a landlord.
02:38She has to.
02:39She didn't.
02:40Why didn't you put a cardboard there?
02:42I put up a piece of paper.
02:44She told me, take it down.
02:45I'm going to get it fixed today.
02:47She never got it fixed.
02:48Just a second.
02:49You go into a store, you buy a piece of plastic, you put it up on the window.
02:53So what you're suing for is for damage that was done to some of your things because of
02:58the broken window.
02:59Because of the weather.
03:00Because of the weather.
03:01Because the weather came in through the broken window.
03:04Okay.
03:05So that's what you're suing her for.
03:06Yes.
03:07Okay.
03:08And what was damaged?
03:09My VCR.
03:10I have a statement, an estimate from the company.
03:14You have a VCR.
03:15What else?
03:16For $99.
03:17Brand new.
03:18I just got for Christmas.
03:19And what else?
03:20And my TV.
03:21The TV, they said, unfortunately, there was nothing wrong with it, had dried out.
03:27The moisture had dried out.
03:29$114, it says on here.
03:32$114.
03:33Where did he get $5,000 from?
03:34Well, that's a nice round number.
03:37Now, what are you suing her for?
03:39I'm basically suing her for the money she owes me for when she didn't pay rent.
03:44She put a stop payment on the check.
03:46She did beat me up in my own home, in my hallway, and her mother have assaulted my boyfriend.
03:53My boyfriend was not there.
03:55That was not the great thing.
03:56My daughter was there.
03:57What are you suing her for?
03:58I'm just suing her to protect myself.
04:03My property was damaged.
04:04I had to pay for that when I moved in.
04:06I'm forced to move out of my home.
04:08I've gone through medical bills from when she assaulted me.
04:11Well, tell me about the assault.
04:12I have a restraining order against her.
04:14Tell me about the assault, madam.
04:16The assault, she assaulted my boyfriend.
04:18I don't care about your boyfriend.
04:19Okay.
04:20She assaulted me one night.
04:21A friend of hers came over.
04:22I did not know it was a friend of hers.
04:24I opened the door, and somebody was knocking on my door.
04:27I opened it.
04:28There's a girl standing there, and she comes walking into my house.
04:31She comes out of the bedroom, and I say, you know, I turn around to her, I say, I hope
04:34you don't have any plans to spend the night.
04:38All right.
04:42Next day.
04:45Vai para.
04:51Yeah.
