>> Judge Judy: How many days
were you there before you called
the police?
How many days were you living in
the apartment before you
called --
Just listen to me.
How many days were you living in
the apartment before you called
the police?
>> Zero. I had no access.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
You said he was bumping you in
the apartment.
>> When I would call, the cops
would let me in for that moment.
>> Judge Judy: For what?
>> Because I live there.
>> Judge Judy: No, you don't
live there.
You had sublet the apartment and
were collecting rent all of that
time.
Where did he bump you?
>> When we were in the
apartment, in my apartment.
>> Judge Judy: With the police
there?
>> No. The police left.
>> Judge Judy: Well, then what
were you doing in his apartment?
>> Um, I had to get my personal
papers.
>> Judge Judy: Do you know I'm
not believing you?
I'm not believing you.
Where did you go ultimately?
>> After we had to leave from
the apartment?
Well, at that time, I didn't
really have anywhere to go.
I have a car, a vehicle, so I
was in and out, you know,
staying inside my car, and then
when I got a chance to get in
contact with my child's mother,
she let me stay at her
apartment.
>> Judge Judy: What about her?
>> At the same time, she was
going through something, so me
being the friend that I am, I
took her to her sister's house,
and she's been staying there for
the longest, since we've been
out.
>> Judge Judy: Who blacked
this out?
>> That came to me like that.
>> Judge Judy: When were you at
landlord-and-tenant court?
>> Um...9/6.
>> Judge Judy: What kind of
action?
>> To get back in the apartment.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
that.
Who filed it?
>> The police told me to go file
in order to get back in and
start the process of him
leaving.
>> Judge Judy: You know that
when you lie and it becomes part
of your fabric, sometimes the
whole world gets blurred to you.
This is what you swore to
to the police.
You stated to the police that
back in July -- well, it wasn't
in July, it was in December --
"she allowed the suspect to stay
in her apartment since he was
homeless and an acquaintance of
the family."
All of that is a lie.
You sublet him your apartment,
knowing it was illegal, for
three times what you were paying
in rent, and it wasn't that you
let him stay there because he
was homeless.
He was your tenant.
And then you accuse him of an
illegal lockout.
>> I was under the impression he
wasn't supposed to change the
locks.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care what
your impression was.
What you told the police
was a lie.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: And then when you
didn't get your way in housing
court, because the judge was
probably, or hopefully -- not so
sure, but hopefully -- would ask
you the same questions that I'm
asking you, you went to the
police and made this outrageous,
full-of-lies statement.
>> I never said that he was not
staying there.
>> Judge Judy: At the time and
place of occurrence, you stated
to the police that back in July,
you allowed the suspect to stay
in your apartment.
It wasn't July. It was December.
>> No, he came in in August.
>> Judge Judy: He started
renting your apartment and
giving you $1,000 when?
I have the receipts.
>> In August.
>> Judge Judy: February 2017.
>> Those are his receipts that
he had.
Those are not all the receipts.
He doesn't have August.
He came in August.
>> Judge Judy: Of what year?
>> August 2017.
>> '16.
>> I mean '16. Sorry.
>> Judge Judy: So, how long were
you renting him the apartment --
from August 2016 to September of
2017?
>> No, it was supposed to be in
June I was coming back.
He knew I was coming back all
the time.
>> Judge Judy: So you collected
rent from him for more than
10 months.
>> I didn't collect --
Yeah, all right. Yes, I did.
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no.
The question is, did you collect
rent from him for more than
10 months?
>> Yes. He gave my sister it.
That's what it -- Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Mm.
>> But he didn't always pay.
>> Judge Judy: I think you
should sue her.
>> I am.
>> Judge Judy: Judgment for the
plaintiff in the amount of
$3,000.
We're done.
>> Thank you.
>> Byrd: Parties are excused.
You may step out.
>> How did I find out?
It was because she had, like,
notices on the door.
Like, it was eviction notices
stating that she owed "X"
amount, you know, to pay, which
she wasn't paying.
We was paying her the rent, and
she wasn't paying the rent,
obviously.
>> I have no comment.
>> That was a bunch of lies that
I attacked her, that I bumped
her, or did anything to her.
I never did no such thing.
I would not harm a woman.
I would not touch a woman.
That's my landlord.
All I wanted to do was just stay
there, pay my rent, and go about
my business.
>> I have no comment.
>> She was a con artist.
>> I have no comment.
>> At the end of the day...
she was wrong.
