after January 4th when you came
back.
>> Yes, I told them that I was
not okay with the animals that
they brought in the house...
>> Judge Judy: What animals?
>> They had a Yorkie which we
agreed upon because I was told
that it was potty-trained.
>> Judge Judy: Whose Yorkie?
>> Mine.
>> And then halfway through
December, they brought home a
pit bull without my permission.
>> Judge Judy: Who brought home
the pit bull?
>> Both of us.
>> Judge Judy: So you both --
>> And her agreement, as well.
>> Judge Judy: Where did you get
the pit bull from?
>> A lady in kind of a
neighboring town.
>> Judge Judy: For what?
>> Well, we were looking for a
dog because, um, Amanda had said
she wanted to get a pit bull,
some sort of a pit bull.
We had talked about it the first
night we moved in.
So we were looking for one, and
when we moved in, we found a
pit bull on Facebook and we went
and we got it.
The lady told us that it was
fully trained.
>> Judge Judy: Don't --
Don't tell me what the lady told
you.
>> So we went and picked up the
dog and brought it home, and
that was the 23rd of December.
>> Judge Judy: This is a
full-grown dog?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Probably used to
being outside?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Was it
housebroken?
>> From what we were told,
yes.
>> Judge Judy: No, that's not
what I'm asking you.
Was it housebroken?
>> It was not housebroken.
>> Judge Judy: Where is the dog
now?
>> We gave it back.
[ Chuckles ] When?
>> Shortly before she moved out.
>> Judge Judy: How much shortly
before?
>> She was in the process of
moving when we brought it back.
I'm not sure of the exact date.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
the roommate agreement that you
all signed, please.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
Here is the copy.
I also have the original.
>> Judge Judy: No, no, shh, shh,
shh, shh, shush, give it to me.
The original.
Did you have a security deposit?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: How much?
>> It was $217 per person.
>> Judge Judy: Did you get it
back?
>> Not yet, no.
>> Judge Judy: How old are you?
>> 18.
>> Judge Judy: How old are you?
>> 18.
>> Judge Judy: What's the
drinking age in your state?
>> 21.
>> Judge Judy: Did you get her
consent to have a party?
>> No, not the first party, no.
>> No, not the first one.
>> Judge Judy: When was the
first one?
>> That was the one that was --
>> Judge Judy: December 28th.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Where there was
drinking.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: That's an illegal
activity.
You understand that.
So you broke the roommate
agreement.
It's clear.
So she had a right to move out.
That's what I wanted to look at.
Okay.
So, first thing we're gonna deal
with is your security deposit,
which is with the landlord.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: I'm returning it
to you.
If they keep the house the way
it's supposed to be kept,
they'll get your security
deposit back when they leave the
house.
Do you understand?
>> Actually, she does have some
damage already done to the
house.
>> Judge Judy: $217.
Next, you moved out mid-month.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: What date?
>> The 14th of January.
Not by my choice, though.
>> Judge Judy: That's $326.
May I please see photographs of
the table?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: That's the damage
you're referring to?
>> Some of it, yes.
There's that and the second page
after it.
>> Judge Judy: Who did you move
in with after you left?
>> I moved into a place by
myself.
>> Judge Judy: Good girl.
Stay with that.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Even if it's a
closet.
Where did you buy this table?
It was a gift from my
grandmother as a housewarming
gift, and I do have the receipt
for it.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
it, please.
Okay. Let me tell you this.
You don't have to go into any
other damage.
I've seen the picture of the
table.
Do you want to look at it?
>> I've seen it.
>> Judge Judy: Great.
You made a mess of her nice
house.
Judgment for the plaintiff in
the amount that she's
requesting, $1,029.
We're done.
>> Byrd: Parties are excused.
You may step out.
>> There was an incident with
the dog that apparently had to
be dealt with that day.
>> Christmas Eve, the dog chewed
up my coffee table...
>> It kind of ruined Christmas
for both of us.
>> ...and I asked them about it,
and they didn't want to speak to
me.
They just told me I was ruining
their Christmas...
>> Things started falling apart
right from the beginning,
though.
>> ...when I just wanted to get
some answers.
>> A lot of the things that
happened to the house and to the
damages, they weren't our fault.
>> I'm gonna live by myself and
trust me to take care of me.
>> Yes, we may have had a party,
but we're in college, and what
do you expec
