Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 27, 2017 Author Posted June 27, 2017 Oh. Still. Can you afford the $2500 if you lose? Suing you over 500 bucks. Can you go on People's Court so we can watch you! ;-) 1000 of it is her legal fees.
BringBackFergy Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 The original question was a yes or no question. !@#$ing lawyers. They are scum.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 1000 of it is her legal fees. Again, here in Illinois, I am pretty sure an individual can't bring a lawyer into small claims! "Righteous!" Unless you are going up against a corporation... Again in my best Bill & Ted: "Bogus!"
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 They are scum. Ha! Let the record show I tempered myself Fergy. ;-) But nice scum. Is that the stuff that coagulates on the top of a nice czarnina (duck's blood soup) when cold?
Augie Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I would say the returning of the security deposit is her agreeing that there were no damages. Exactly. After the walk through. Done deal. Sounds like a shoddy operator. We always took photos of everything and noted anything less than perfect on a detailed checklist. Everyone signs off. Nothing to argue after that.
Gugny Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Dark and lonely on the summer night.Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.Watchdog barking - Do he bite?Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.Slip in his window,Break his neck!Then his house I start to wreck!Got no reason --What the heck!Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.C-I-L-L ...My land - lord ...Def!
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Yeah... I can't figure her ballsy motive. Did she think that you weren't going to show in court? Was new place far away? Different state? Get a default judgement on you? 1,000 bucks legal? In small claims on $2500 and first wanting a $500 settlement. I so wish you could get this to People's Court. Wear a Bills/Sabres shirt JSP! :-)
Augie Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Can you win your legal fees on this? Bring it on, baby.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Can you win your legal fees on this? Bring it on, baby.How much are we charging! AND not those rip offs Fergy & Chef, they are probably colluding to jack up the fee! ;-) Some Labatt Blue and Sahlen's hotdogs with Weber's will do. Oh wait JSP is not in BFLo! Remember we're Bills fans, the other shoe always drops, let's not jinx him! He gets the flu and can't make it to court or something. :-) Edited June 27, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois

He gets the flu and can't make it to court or something. :-) I think the thought of having to pay legal fees would be a nice deterrent, as they can quickly exceed the damages sought. We spent somewhere between a very nice new car and a small house on our sons child custody case, and it ended in mediation. My other son just said he's considering law school, so maybe it all balances out?

Augie Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Really have to go read the original lease to figure out if prevailing party gets attorney fees paid. It will almost always come down to what's in writing!
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Really have to go read the original lease to figure out if prevailing party gets attorney fees paid. Yeah... That really is the key.
KD in CA Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 "She a-howlin' about the front rent, She'll be lucky to get any back rent She ain't gonna get none of it!" "She was so nice, She was lovey-dovey" That may be the problem. She was expecting JSP to buff the floors before he left.
Gugny Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Is now an okay time to ask for a pic of that redhead?
NoSaint Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I had a landlord refuse my deposit being returned once. Didn't give me proper notice of damages in time (there weren't any), and then refused to itemize any costs. I sued him for the max under the law (think it was double, maybe triple, the actual deposit) plus legal fees... offered to settle before filing for like a 66% being returned. The place was perfect shape but like fergy I figured it was better than dragging it out. The night before trial was scheduled he offered me 100% plus all filing fees. I probably could've gotten the multiplier no problem but I just wanted fair and easy and took it.
Augie Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 throw her in a wood chipper Does he own one? What's the cost of a rental? Is it close to the settlement cost? All things being equal, it sounds like the wood chipper is better for society as a whole.
