'4 Guys, 1 Apartment', & 'Spooky Dog Attack' & 'You Lost My Computer'
First, the plaintiff and the defendant have been friends for eight years. The plaintiff is accusing the defendant of not paying his rent. He claims he also lied to the police, moved out without any warning, and won’t pay what he owes. The defendant says there were four people sharing the apartment, and when one person moved out, the plaintiff told them they had to absorb the fourth person’s rent until they could find another roommate, but no one had agreed to that.
Then, the plaintiff says her dog was savagely attacked in broad daylight by the defendant’s Great Dane/German shepherd mix, and the defendant refuses to pay for the vet expenses. The defendant says the plaintiff’s dog was on one of those very long leashes, and she wasn’t paying attention and the two dogs got close to each other. Out of nowhere, the plaintiff let out a blood-curdling scream. His dog got spooked, and the two dogs got into it.
Plus, the plaintiff says he did some work on the defendant’s 13-inch MacBook Pro, and they agreed the cost would be about $400. When the defendant showed up to pick it up, he presented him with a $10 bill as payment. He thought the guy was joking, but he wasn’t. The defendant says the plaintiff had his computer for months and after he pressed him on why it was taking so long to fix, he admitted the computer had been stolen. He then found another computer and gave it to him.

The plaintiff claims he never told his neighbor he could use his driveway, and now the concrete is cracked. He’s suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant argues the plaintiff told him he could use the driveway, so he doesn’t think he owes.
Plus, the plaintiff purchased a car from the defendant as a present for her daughter’s birthday and graduation. She claims car was a lemon, so she spent hundreds of dollars repairing it.

'Trash Day Trouble' & 'Consign on the Dotted Line' & 'Broker Not Trying to Go Broke'
First, the plaintiff brings his neighbor to court. He claims the defendant put a metal bed frame and box spring against a tree on the sidewalk for garbage collectors to pick up. He says wind knocked the frame into his car, causing damage. He’s suing for the cost of damage. The defendant argues he left the bed flat on the ground, not against a tree. He doesn’t think he owes anything.
Then, the plaintiff gave the defendant nearly 90 items to sell at his consignment shop. He claims the defendant sold all of it but never called him about how much money he would get. The plaintiff is suing for what he thinks he’s owed. The defendant argues it took several months for him to sell everything. He says he told the plaintiff how much his proceeds would be, so he doesn’t owe.
Plus, the plaintiff found the defendant an apartment that the defendant ended up renting. She claims she’s still owed a finder’s fee, so she’s suing for what she’s owed. The defendant argues the plaintiff told her not to worry about the broker’s fee, so she doesn’t think she needs to pay her anything.

First, the plaintiff hired the defendant to fix her roof. She claims the defendant stole an envelope of money from her, then left. She’s suing for stolen money and the cost of a polygraph test. The defendant argues the plaintiff handed him the envelope, and he told her it didn’t have the correct amount in it. He agreed to a polygraph test already and it didn’t prove a thing. He’s countersuing for loss of work, a tarp, and wood supplies.
Then, the plaintiff says her neighbor fell asleep on her couch and broke off the arm. She’s suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant argues she doesn’t weigh enough to break the couch, whereas she thinks the plaintiff could.
Plus, the plaintiff moved out of apartment that he rented from the defendant. He says they did a walk-through together and there wasn’t any damage, but then the defendant sent him a letter saying he wouldn’t get his security deposit back due to the condition of the apartment. He’s suing for the money he thinks he’s owed. The defendant argues the apartment was in terrible condition with chicken bones strewn around and broken appliances.
