>> Judge Judy: You went there,
it was a terrible room, you got
out.
>> Announcer: A vacation
interrupted by a bad rental?
>> She was supposed to give us a
certain amount of money back.
She retained $891.50.
>> That is not true.
I did not retain --
>> Judge Judy: Don't talk --
Don't talk to anybody else.
>> Announcer: Interruptions are
a no-no.
>> I didn't understand when I
could interject.
>> Judge Judy: Never.
Do you take something that makes
you hyper?
>> I'm just naturally hyper.
I never drink caffeine, even.
[ Chuckles ]
>> Announcer: "Judge Judy."
>> Judge Judy: Mr. Weinstein,
you and your way were traveling
cross-country and saw an ad for
a cottage that you rented, based
upon the ad that you saw.
The cottage belongs to the
defendant.
>> That's correct, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: When you got
there, according to your
complaint, it was not what was
represented in the ad.
You had rented the cottage for
five nights?
>> Six nights, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Six nights.
You and your wife stayed there
for one night.
>> That's correct.
>> Judge Judy: And then you
moved out and found other
accommodations -- I assume, at
greater expense.
>> That's correct.
We were scrambling.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: And you want a
refund of the five nights that
you did not spend there?
>> That's correct.
>> Judge Judy: That's what you
want?
>> It's actually more than
that, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: You want more
than that?
>> We want the entire six nights
refunded because
Miss Schneiderman breached our
settlement agreement.
She was supposed to give us a
certain amount of money back,
and she shorted us.
So since she breached the
settlement agreement, we're
looking for the entire six
nights.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, from here,
you're going to five nights if I
find that she misrepresented
the ad.
>> He already has received --
>> Judge Judy: Just a sec.
>> Oh, Okay.
>> Judge Judy: I'm not ready
for you.
>> Okay. Sorry.
>> Judge Judy: So, first, tell
me how much you paid for the
six nights.
>> We paid $2,244.
>> Judge Judy: $2,244.
>> That's correct.
>> Am I allowed to talk now? Oh.
>> Judge Judy: No, when I ask
you a question, you talk, unless
the figure he gave me is wrong.
>> Well, that includes a
refundable security deposit.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
All I asked, "Is that what he
paid you --$2,244?"
What she interjected is going to
affect my math, and math is not
my strong suit.
How much was the security
deposit?
>> $600, your honor.
>> Judge Judy: Did you get that
back?
>> Yes, I did.
>> Judge Judy: Fine.
4, 4, 6 -- $1,644.
So we are talking about $1,644.
That's gonna tell me how much it
was per night.
Or $274 per night.
>> It was actually not that,
because there was a $65 cleaning
fee and a $139 service fee.
It was $240 a night for the
room.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, how much
did you give him back?
>> Air-- or VRBO refunded him,
through me, $752.50.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> Plus his --
>> Judge Judy: Plus a security
deposit.
>> Plus a security deposit.
And then I had to pay a fee
to the agency.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care.
I would actually --
>> That's correct.
>> All I retained, of all of
that, even though I couldn't
rebook the room at this point --
he was canceled --
>> Judge Judy: I don't care.
>> All I was able to retain was
$291.50.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
about your fee.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Without the fees,
how much money did you retain?
>> I retained, it looks here --
this is the --
>> If I might, she retained
$891.50, which is what I paid
for one night's lodging.
>> That is not true.
I did not retain --
>> Judge Judy: Don't talk --
Don't talk to anybody else.
>> I did not retain that amount.
>> Judge Judy: Hey!
[ Raps desk ]
Stop.
>> Judge --
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
>> Oh, I'm sorry.
>> Judge Judy: If what you do is
interrupt, I'm just gonna give
him what he wants and throw
you out.
Do you understand?
>> Yes. I was confused when I
could talk.
>> Judge Judy: Chill.
>> $2,244 minus $1,352.50 is
$891.50.
That's what I paid.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
$892. And the room --
>> $891.50. Yeah, okay.
I'm sorry. [ Chuckles ]
>> Judge Judy: The room, per
night, was $240.
So $892 less --
>> Plus the cleaning fee.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
about a cleaning fee.
I'm gonna look at the pictures
to see whether he's gonna get
this money.
>> Yes, but that was stated in
the contract.
>> Judge Judy: I'm talking.
>> Oh, sorry.
>> Judge Judy: 2, 5, which is
$652.
That's less one night's stay.
$652. Stayed there one night.
Now I'd like to see the
advertisement that you answered.
>> I have --
