So, November, Thanksgiving,
since she remembers what date it
was that you finally had a
blow-up --
It was Thanksgiving Day.
That's the end of November.
So you have December, January,
February, March, April, May,
and you moved out when in June?
>> June 1st.
>> Six months' rent,
and the rent was $750?
>> That's right.
>> Judge Judy: Now, I suppose
if I asked you
whether you had any proof
that you paid rent
after starting in December, you
would say, "I did not pay rent?"
>> I can say that, yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So, you did not pay rent.
So now you're going to show me,
I assume, consistent
with what your position was,
all the paid bills
that you paid in December
for gas, electric, and cable.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Let's start with December.
>> And on there, it looks like
I just paid energy --
the energy bill for that month.
>> Judge Judy: So, you paid only
energy bills the month of
December.
>> For that specific month.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
So then somebody else
had to pay the cable, right?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: So you get no
credit for that. Great.
Now, what about January?
>> January of 2016,
I have a check stub here
that I wrote to Ryan for $375,
including some grocery bills,
that I can prove.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
that.
Did you receive any rent?
This is all crossed out.
This is all cro--
This is not a check.
>> It's the carbon copy
of the check, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: No, it isn't.
No, it isn't at all.
It's a carbon copy of nothing.
It's a carbon copy of something
that you wrote yesterday.
What's next? February?
>> Okay. Well, I have a carbon
copy also for $375 that I wrote
to Ryan for rent.
>> Judge Judy: That you wrote
yesterday.
Go ahead.
I want to see a canceled check.
Do you know what a canceled
check is, from a bank?
>> I do not.
>> Judge Judy: How would are
you?
>> 32.
>> Judge Judy: Well, if you're
32 years old, you should know
what a canceled check is from a
bank.
Go. Next! Next! Next!
>> Judge Judy: What you say,
actually, Ms. Anderson, is so
totally unbelievable because
your whole case was that you
never paid your half of the rent
because that was your agreement.
Your agreement was he paid
all of the rent and you paid
the rest of the bills.
So now I'm asking you to show me
the bills that you paid.
January, February, March, April,
and May -- the other bills.
So far you have nothing,
because you paid
one electric bill for December,
but then he had
to cover the other utilities.
And he also paid the rent,
which you did not.
So, let's move on.
>> For February and March,
I actually
do have some proof here
that I did pay for the gas
and electricity bills.
>> Judge Judy: And what about
the cable?
>> Uh, cable --
>> Judge Judy: "Uh" is not an
answer.
You don't have it.
So, he paid the cable.
>> Your Honor,
can I say something?
>> Judge Judy: Shh! No.
It's not necessary.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Not necessary.
You paid the gas and electric,
so he paid the cable.
So, you didn't fulfill your end
of the obligation.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: What's next?
March, April, May. Let's go.
>> I have a lot of carbon
copies of the checks
that apparently aren't
working here.
So, I don't know.
>> Judge Judy: Let me understand
something.
Almost three years you lived
together pursuant
to an arrangement that you
testified to earlier
where he paid all of the rent,
'cause that's what it also says
in your answer, and you paid the
utility bills.
Then you had a big fight in
November.
Neither one of you wanted to
move.
It was clearly
a hostile environment.
Then you decided
to pay your half of the rent.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Is that what you
want me to believe?
>> Some months, I did.
Some months, I didn't.
>> Judge Judy: But you have
carbon copies for every month.
Judgment for the plaintiff
in the amount of $2,250.
We're done.
>> Byrd: Parties are excused.
You may step out.
>> How was I supposed
to make her leave?
>> If he had a problem with me
not paying rent, I don't
understand why he's suing me
now.
>> Am I supposed to evict my own
ex-girlfriend from the lease?
>> I brought a guy that I was
seeing at the time over.
>> It's a very rude thing to do.
>> That was the trigger point
for him to sue me.
