Who Said? She Was Trying To Keep The Security Deposit Over So Called "Damage" To The Property. But She Was Found To Be Unscrupulous By Charging The Tenant For Things That She Had Nothing To Do With. Therefore, Not Legally Responsible. The Landlord Wasn't Doing it Just Because The Plaintiffs Mother Died. 🤦🏾

Na a deposit is what damages are for. Who cares if she’s gone or not…

The fact that she was well aware of the multiple areas of leakages while Martha was residing there, however ignored it all while knowing Martha was battling a cancer/sickness for many years is alone absolutely horrendous!! The fact that when Martha unfortunately passed away and the landlord became fully aware of the severity of her properties issues and the conditions Martha ultimately was living in yet never complained about, such as heating issues and plumbing issues caused by the improper installation of ALL pipes and such due to the negligence of inspector's, contractors, construction staff and the property owner for not ensuring proper installation and inspection before marketing the property, yet she still attempted to take advantage of the situation and withhold a 9 year old security deposit because she said, and I quote " I didn't think they were going to take me to court over it" is despicable and not to mention how she allowed the organization to make payments late multiple times yet never enforced late fee payments from Martha while she was actively renting her property however upon being sued is now requiring it should have been looked at differently and not granted to her!! Im happy the Judge awarded the plaintiff double however I feel she deserved alot more just based off the defendants vindictiveness and attempt to make a profit from a tragedy!! Smh that's just sad! Im happy Martha's daughter fought for her and her Madre!!!

Defendant thinks that renters child will forget their mother has a deposit. Defendant is delusional that apartment was NOT clean! JM called this one right on.

thats why i have been saying for years that requiring deposits to move into residential rentals should be totally illegal . the only money a landlord is entitled to is rent and rent only . if a tenant damages the property then the landlord has every right to sue and prove it in court , but the mandatory deposits are an unfair burden to put on renters who have not even started living there yet let alone damaging it .

FYI: most states make the landlord put tenants deposit in an interest bearing account, and all money is returned even interest to tenants (unless damaged occurs) upon moving out. The landlord can get sued if they don’t do this. Massachusetts requires landlord to do this if they don’t, tenants can sue for triple the deposit, court costs and lawyer fees.

I think the landlord thought since the lady died she could just pocket the money. Ridiculous

Shame on that landlord. Despicable.

Defendant wants the daughter to completely renovate the place after 8+ years. THINK NOT!!!!

Defendant initially seemed to be a rational woman, but when the judge started going through her receipts it began to look like she felt that anything that went wrong with the house while the tenant was living there the tenant should pay for. And a new sink because the line had to be snaked out? That's just a weak excuse to keep the security deposit in her own pocket.

How can she disrespect a deceased person and her daughter 😢

That place was left empty and clean, a hell of a lot cleaner than what many tenants leave a place. They went above and beyond IMO. The only trash in that place is the landlord. She collected rent for 8 years on a place that was substandard at best and was aware of it and now wants her deceased tenants daughter to pay to put her place in the condition it should have been in all along. I have nothing but disdain for this landlord.

Im so proud of the plaintiff..the defendant is a miserable shrew

Defendant own evidence brought her down 😂😂😂

Keeping a dead woman’s money has got to be bad karma especially when somebody’s asking for it and you have no proof that you should keep it

You mean aside from being an ignorant, greedy jerk. If you are going to be a landlord, you had better plan on budgeting for maintenance and setting those funds aside.

It took a year, but I got it.

Why does every case or rental situation end with the landlord taking the deposit. Give me a break. Lady lived there for 8 years and the place looks decent.

That landlord flat out lied about the place being a pig sty. It was extremely clean. So, I'm glad she had to pay double. The law should be that the landlord has to pay double when they wrongfully withhold security deposits everywhere, because that encourages them to not do what this landlord did - flat out LIE, aka FRAUD.

I commend the daughter for taking the land lord to court. It is money owed to her mother's estate and the landlord was wrong with those trump up charges for things that were her fault due to improper installation. The plaintiff is very pretty by the way.

Just the fact that the Defendant tried to have the Plaintiff pay for an entire sink because the Plaintiff's mother took out a 2 dollar drain cap---what?!? All of those invoices are for repairs that the landlord is responsible for and she's trying to take it from the deposit. It just shows the Defendant didn't think the Plaintiff would sue and tried to take more than she deserved.
