>> Judge Judy: Your son wanted
to have his 21st birthday party,
Mr. LeLoo.
You told him, "That's nice.
Not in my house. Find a venue."
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: You live in a
house?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: But you said,
"Not in my house.
You can have your 25 friends
someplace else."
>> It's a condominium.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
what it is.
You didn't want his 25 friends
there but found
the defendant's house.
So Mr. Giang, is that the way
you pronounce your last name?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Now, you have
a house that you must hate
because you agreed
to rent the house
to Mr. LeLoo's son,
who was celebrating his...
>> Twenty-first.
>> Judge Judy: Twenty-first
birthday.
Why you would do that,
I don't know.
In any event,
what you claim is, sir,
is that the house
was so substandard
for the party, some things
which actually
Mr. Giang doesn't deny,
that you want your money back.
>> Well, the -- the...
It's a -- it's -- it's --
it's...
>> Judge Judy: Is that what
your claim is?
>> It's -- it's -- it's...
>> Judge Judy: I just
wanna know...
>> It's a breach of contract.
>> Judge Judy: Is that what
your claim is?
>> Yes.
I have to explain, though.
>> Judge Judy: Well,
you don't have to explain.
I read your complaint.
They got there for the party.
And you had problems
with your plumbing.
You wanna describe the problems
you had with your plumbing?
>> Not, uh, the problem
that was incurred by Mr. LeLoo.
>> Judge Judy: No.
I'm talking about
before his party.
>> I have had
12 parties with...
>> Judge Judy: You told me.
With 300 people
and two bathrooms.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: I don't know how
you do a party with 300 people
and two bathrooms, Mr. Giang.
>> I...
>> Judge Judy: I don't know,
unless you get port-a-potties.
Now, if you hire port-a-potties,
then you can have a party
for 300 people 'cause I read
that you have parties for 300
people.
And for that,
you have two bathrooms.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And on the day
of his son's birthday party,
no matter what kinda slobs
they were, am I correct,
am I reading right,
that you were
telling the young women
who were using the one working
toilet that they couldn't flush
paper down the toilet,
that they should take
the paper outside?
>> In the covered
trash bag, yes.
>> Judge Judy: That's
ridiculous.
>> Well, you have 100 people
who throw trash,
uh, I can't have that.
People throwing paper down it.
>> Judge Judy: They --
there weren't 100 people.
>> This is a... Yeah. Well...
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no, no,
no.
>> Well, all parties,
that's the rule.
>> Judge Judy: No. Listen to me.
That can't be the rule!
You show me.
And then I will dismiss
the plaintiff's case.
You show me, in your contract,
where it says that people,
when they use the bathroom,
can't dispose
of used toilet paper --
This is gonna be
some case to air, by the way.
You gotta play this one
during sweeps.
[ Laughter ]
...in the toilet.
Show me anywhere
in your contract
that it says that.
>> I verbally told him.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
what you verbally said.
Did you have a written contract?
>> I have a written
contract here.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
it.
And I'd like to see in the
written contract, anywhere...
>> Show her the picture.
>> Judge Judy: Let me see
the written contract.
I wanna see if you say,
"We are supplying two bathrooms.
But you cannot dispose
of any waste paper
in the bathrooms,
in the toilet."
I wanna see where you say that.
It's ridiculous.
>> Well, here's the contract.
>> Show her this one.
>> Here's the same one.
>> It's right here.
>> Judge Judy: Byrd, I'll take
a look at both.
>> Right here.
Right here. There.
>> Byrd: Okay.
>> Here's the original one
he signed and I signed.
>> The, uh...
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
Speak not.
I don't see anything here
about toilet paper.
>> The paper on the toilet...
The picture of the toilet.
It says a sign,
"No paper in..."
>> Judge Judy: I see what it
says on the sign.
I'm lookin' at the contract.
I don't care what the sign says.
You rented a house,
"Three-bedroom lodging.
Check out time between 10
and 11 o'clock on April 17th."
This party was for the 16th.
How many working toilets did
you have in this house?
How many working
toilets did you have?
That would be one.
>> For him, yes.
>> Judge Judy: That would be one
for all the guests
and the overnight lodging.
And in this one toilet,
you weren't allowed
to flush paper.
Is that what you're telling me?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
Now, I've got -- I've got...
You had your party, right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: How many people
did you have?
>> Uh, 22.
>> Judge Judy: Fine.
Not 300 like you
always have there.
Anything else you wanna tell me?
>> You know, it...
Quickly, I'll say how it began
was when we first went and saw
the place, he presented us with
two toilets and an outside
urinal pit that he wanted the
men to use, which, of course, we
refused.
He showed us
the women's bathroom,
showed us the other bathroom,
showed us
the outdoor refrigerator
that would be cleaned
and working.
Ended up having one bathroom,
no explanation
of any other bathroom.
No refrigerator, it was not
even plugged in, cleaned.
He allowed us to put the cake
in his personal refrigerator.
>> Judge Judy: How does he have
a personal refrigerator?
>> Well, he lives in the house.
The party
was out in the backyard.
It was not in the house.
It was in the backyard, okay?
I have a picture, okay,
of the backyard.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
So you were just
renting the backyard?
>> Pretty much.
