Backing Out
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 апр 2024
- The plaintiff hired the defendant to stage his house to put it up for sale. However, the defendant quit the day before she was scheduled to work, so the plaintiff is suing for breach of contract. The defendant claims she was forced out of the deal by a competing realtor, and there was just too much drama. The defendant believes she is not responsible for the plaintiff's inability to sell his home in a bad market.

Annoying and unprofessional. I can imagine why the defendant’s former company stopped working with her.
Did anyone catch that she said she was really hoping for the listing? Bet that’s why she decided last minute to bail !
yep, she got her nose out of joint and pouted her way out of the other work
I would stay clear from working with this women no matter what
This is bs… he lost rent due to defendant telling him to tell the now due to the work being done soon.
Never hire her .No conscience!
I was looking for a painter and it took me months just to get someone to return a call. I think he's in the right. He took certain actions based on the contract. That cost him money. It's summer premium time for house sales in MA. I'm sure he couldn't find 1. I will say he should have better records.
Plaintiff was a good sport.
Very good sport 💯
"Don't spend all that dollar in one place" Doug's a savage 😂
I think these realty speculators who rent out homes they bought are really greed driven. He played the real estate agents against each other and lost. Too bad.
And right!!😂
Lmaoo I literally heard at looking at this comment i died lol
Typical real estate agent - they are unreliable, shady, and there's always drama.
Doug gone twist the knife everytime 😭😭
Harvey and Doug should have a dick-off battle! Who's the bigger DH!😂😂😂😂
Amount of 1 dollar... She did not have to insult him like that.
7k lawsuit ending up in a dollar judgement 😂😂😂
It was perfect!
Oh but she did, because that's the type of person she is. Her true character came out then! Hope she looses clients over this!
Don’t they do that to prevent it being brought to another court or something? Like how she’s awarded both parties equal amounts so they cancel out instead of dismissing the case?
@@mimim8532huh
Judge is wrong. She breached the agreement and he lost money on renting his house.
I don't like her attitude in this ruling
Agreed
I agree her ruling was not just. The defendant too smug.
Bad ruling
@MrPrimeGlass You may not like the way Judge Milian ruled, but YOU are wrong, the defendant showed up unprepared and without any evidence to backup his claims. He wasn't some naive 21 year old but a grown man who should know better!!!
I can’t believe the realtor would show her face on national television. I wouldn’t hire her.
she doesn't think she did anything wrong
I think she - the realtor should of paid something - afterall she got him to vacate tenants and then breached - he could of kept those tenants another month or two until he found a stager - milian and real estate agent are lame
I agree with you. Normally, I agree with JM. This man was left with nobody to do the work at the last minute. Anyone who has ever renovated or built anything knows you can't just pick up the phone and get someone on the job immediately. I think the defendant is a ditzy blonde.
The problem is he can't prove his damages. Just like the judge explained, he has to prove he couldn't get someone
She told him facts. If the tenants were living there on a month to month lease, he has to give the tenants a month notice to vacate if he’s wanting to remodel.
@@bort1999 Yeah but she knew the Defendant was wrong. She could have given him time to turn over any evidence that could prove damages, like she's done with so many other litigants. Or, she has the power to make changes in a case in the interest of justice at her discretion. So she could have ordered a judgement against the Defendant for punitive damages.
@@bjohnson1149 We’ve done several renovations. Maybe had he brought proof, the outcome would’ve been different. Phone records showing he attempted, etc.
A $1 verdict in favor of the plaintiff was a symbolic slap in the face.
@Manihsi Yes, the plaintiff showed up way unprepared he should have gotten 2 cents 😂
I don't get why her former company could stop her since she doesn't work for them anymore.
Also for a handyman company, you can only charge up to $500 for work without a license. They were charging $16000.
He should have gotten at least the lost rent for ending the lease early because she said she would start at a certain time. Then she bailed after the tenants left.
Her previous employer contract with the company she left may have had a no compete clause that was specific to its direct competitors or geographic location.
@@YolandaAdamsfan I did think about that. Depending on what state they are in even tho there is a non compete clause there is a right to work law also. She could not seek out her former . clients to get new business. Also she didn't mention there was one to the judge. She took the job in the first place. Her excuse for backing out was being strong armed by a competitor. If he picked her to stage the house then there is no competitor. She already had the job. She may have said as a false excuse so the judge could see it her way.
she was just making excuses and with realtors there is always drama
Totally, I did not know that about statutory limitations on the amount a non-licensed person can charge!
Given how long our construction takes. It's really hard to find good workers these days
You must always have a paper trail when you come into court.
I don’t agree with the verdict. Since the defendant breach the contract, she should have paid something, what happen to rough justice?
Yup. She is paying $1 for that. He is just greedy trying to take advantage of the situation.
Because people don’t get money for disappointment and dealing with unprofessional behavior, they’re meant to be made whole. She said if he brought estimates and proof then she could award something, but he’s all words right now and she can’t simply take his word for it. Even with the landscaper that he DID hire and pay for, he didn’t bring the proof of that.
He didn’t put enough effort in finding a replacement contractor. Hopefully you stay out of business. 😂😂😂😂
No way. Not her problem he couldn’t find someone else. Yes she’s unprofessional, but he needs to stop crying poor me
What is he out though? He didn’t pay anything and he was grossly unprepared for this case.
I know what he's talking about with the contractors. It doesn't matter how much you can pay, the contractors won't believe you anyway. I've gone months trying to get contractors to show up and that's if they even returned a phone call.
“I’m going to stick with the type of clients I normally work with “! Okay Karen..I would of said she can keep her 1$ so insulting
Right!
It's hard to tell if she's a snob or a racist.
While there is no world he’s gonna get 4 months of missed rent and anything else he was definitely out at least one month of rent solely based on her backing out. Also you think he just said oh well and didn’t look for people to finish the staging? That makes no sense.
I didn't like the defendant. She was bitchy. At the end she said she would stick to the kind of clients she is used to. That was an unnecessary diss to the plaintiff. Especially when her staff are her daughter and the daughter's boyfriend.
Type of client means WHITE.
Mm maybe but I took it as he saying she bit off more than she can chew and will stick to being a realtor.
@@tamarajackson6080 Not sure. She says she has been doing it for three years so he is not her first client. She has a warehouse containing her specialised furniture. I don't see this as saying she will stop with the staging. I think it was an unnecessary diss to the defendant.
She's a racist.
At least the $1 includes the filing fees
The defendant was wrong
One Measly Dollar to the Plaintiff... GET OUTTA HERE!!
She was in a bad mood or something
Judge Millian doesn't understand what it's like in the post-pandemic, Gen Z world where no one wants to work. In any area that has seasons, if you don't line up a landscaper in the late-winter/early-spring, they all have projects scheduled out for the entire spring and summer. And any competent painter will also be booked out for a month or two. I'm sure he could have gotten some unlicensed handyman, but I totally believe this guy.
Oh Lord. Go back under your rock PeePaw. Trump hasn't pulled your string yet. Go back to sleep until your Supreme Leader incites another riot
This was long before Covid
Ok Boomer
Not surprised she had problems with former company. This lady saying she works for different clients like the plaintiff is trash when shes the trash!
No money, no contract, no proof, no case.
I wonder what’s her “type” of clients she works with
I’m hvac tech, packing my bags right heading to Springfield Massachusetts… the money must be good 😆
Hey dude, do your own job & keep your money.
With inflation she actually awarded him a penny!!😂
Yes the defendant definitely should’ve paid something
Hahahaha her laugh 😂 I love it! So warm lol
Lol yep that was a genuine moment of warmth 😂
Many of you don’t seem to understand that court is meant to make someone whole in a loss. If someone isn’t professional like this defendant you don’t have to hire or recommend them again, but they don’t automatically owe you money because you’ve been inconvenienced.
Was she wrong? Yes. But he brought NO EVIDENCE of what he was actually out monetary wise, not even for what he paid the landscaper, let alone what he “might” have to pay in the hypothetical future when he finds the right contractors and painters at the right price. The plaintiff has the duty to attempt to mitigate his damages. It’s fine if he felt everyone else was too expensive, but that’s not her problem. However, if he actually PAID someone more expensive, then it can be her problem, but he can’t be awarded money on no proof but his word.
And it matters that he “could” have found someone new to hire but simply didn’t want to pay for it and still wanted her to pay a hypothetical difference that for all we know he could pocket in the long run.
At least the defendant was exposed. She inconvenienced him and cost him money. I also don't like the fact that she hid the fact that her unlicensed daughter was going to do the work.
the defendant does not have a soul... her face shows no remorse that she caused... she is paying $1 only coz there was no paperwork
I would NEVER use that woman as a realtor. However I think the plaintiff was greedy and seeking way too much in damages. It is frustrating when you deal with someone who betrays you and breaches a contract but he really had no case for 5k. Judge Milian should have awarded him more than $1 though.
and yet in other cases, Judge Milian has accepted that contractors take months to get to a job. And THEY're not held in breach of contract. There's nothing like screwing over an Asian fellow and then laughing heartily over it. I sure wouldn't contact yon Plaintiff. Harvey is wrong when he said there are no damages. Clearly there were, the Plaintiff just didn't have proof in writing.
2500 to stage a hous is ridiculous. Just paint it and clean it up and it's staged
Breech of contract equals $1 !!!!! Really!?!?
judge got it wrong. My landscaper dropped my business in April of last year, I contacted close to 13 companies, none would accept the job. Had to pay a random person to do somewhat of the job...it is difficult to find services at the height of that season
Sounds like either you didn't wanna pay the price or have a difficult yard. Sounds like a You problem really
There should’ve at least been some rough justice.
$1 is pretty rough.
1 dollar for the plaintiff... But didn't he sue for 7000 dollars?
lol he tried but again another person suing and coming to court with zero proof of anything. He was full of it
@@Shapeless-ce7zqGreat point
Wow ! 😳 $1smh
Hahahahaaaa serves him right and it also shows that she's unreliable. Match made in turmoil heaven. 😂😂😂😂
This guy can’t get out of his own way! 😂
Any experienced realtor knows resources that are licensed, competent and reliable.
It’s really hard to find people to work. We have a landscape business and can’t find people willing to work regularly- and every restaurant around here has “hiring” signs. So many small businesses can’t find workers. So finding someone to do work can actually be really difficult!
Worst Realtor™ since the one on Elsbeth?
Who’s her old company the Mob ? 😂
She's accused of a Back Up Crack Up.
Judge Milian is HILARIOUS with that ending decision 😂 😮
A dollar is really a slap to the person that gets it lol. This one is a ??? judgement.
Did I miss something, because of her former realty co.? Not enough questions on what was the issue to cancel.
The plaintiff should've called ME.
Judge really got this one wrong
Besides the token dollar awarded, that laughter from the judge seemed psycho and highly insulting.
SONN of a GUNN.
LOL! ONE DOLLAR.
He has no case! This was a waste of time! No money was paid out?
Yeah, I'm halfway through and I don't get it. Why is he suing her?
@@LoveChild71breach of contract. If he had have brought some invoices to show the landscaping or the future work would cost more, he would have received it. But he came to court with zero evidence, so he's lucky he got even a buck!
Evidence….for some people it’s a foreign word.
This supposed judge is so stupid. Where is t he justice. Probably had the wrong last name?
Springfield has a ton of landscapers trust me
Another $1 Win!😂😭😂😭
Doug so petty ... don't spend that dollar in one place 😂😂😂😂
Sir, im sure if you have a home depot, you can find anyone to to call this work.
He should have won something much more than $1, because she breached the contract and made him vacate his tenants early, so he is out money because she breached! The judge didn't even want to understand that finding a stager and landscaper that will do the work at the last minute, is impossible...
He should have hired her to list his house instead of hiring her previous employer, whom she had issues with, and which she did tell him about. He also could have listed it without staging the home first.
He is totally correct. That people don’t return calls, show up or not bonded or insured
Then how does business get done. What a silly comment
@@TopherGrant not a silly comment. Many people in business do not call back because they are so busy… they can’t be bothered to be courteous, therefore the client( me for example) is unable to secure their services in a timely manner. Also, when someone does call or come out to look at a job, when you ask for proof of insurance/ bond they are unable to. At that point I as a homeowner cannot have them on my property because of the liability. Thought this would clear it up,for any new or non homeowners.
@@elizabethlarose3632 non-homeowners don't care. Lol
You miss the point…if you are a non homeowner Looking to purchase a home it is always better to know this information…silly comment
@elizabethlarose3632 calm down Beth.
ihave heard the verdict of $1 in her court MANY times..
cut the crap Doug 🙄
According to the Law her hands were tied him coming to court without any proof goes against him and his claim
The defendant would have had to pay something if the plaintiff had brought proof of the cost of the delay and of the work that he got done, if it was over the price that the defendant quoted him. He brought nothing so he got nothing. Period.
Great Video!
Judgement was wrong. Good luck getting contractors high season here!!
But then the defendant pays the court cost
The defendant didn't seem to have any remorse at all. She took no accountability for her actions blaming her former company for being unable to do the work whatever that means. She's NOT reliable at all.
Bro, the judge would work with you you didn’t bring in anything I’m so upset for him
Bring some proof!
Springfield Ma? My neck of the woods lol.
SHe has no professionalism. I think the guy would have a good argument for "reliance" damages. He should have said "in reliance" on her promise to do the work, he terminated his former tenants who would have stayed on but for his notice to terminate. Then she cancels. Well, in his reliance he lost out on the rental he would have collected from the former tenants for at least one month (since it was month to month) and he could or should have collected at least one months rent. In equity there is such a thing of reasonable reliance. Since the "stager" needed the house to be vacated of renters to stage it by a certain date, then she unprofessionally and unexpectedly backed out, he is entitled to at least one months payment. The judge should know that and since she seemed eager to grant him the win, she should have found he reasonably relied on her and terminated his tenants, so she owed him some money. That b -word did not even apologize to him for her lack of professionalism.
I'm curious as to what happened with the defendant. Why did she have to fight the real estate company? What happened between them in specifics....
I'm surprised that the judge didn't ask because she goes into detail when it comes to people romantic relationships but why didn't dive more into this.
She gave him a good reason??? Ummmm... she parted ways not so amicably with this other company... sounds like she's a big baby and can't let bygones be bygones... And living in the Northeast, he's speaking facts about contractors... I'm actually surprised it was a LANDSCAPER that he DID find to get to do work!!!
Yes she was wrong to not do the job or find someone to do the job for him !!! But he has nothing to help himself ..I thought they were smarter than this !!
I have no evidence just believe me! 😂
He doesn’t get free work because she chose to not work. He didn’t even put a deposit down yet. It’s still in negotiations.
The person who wrote this didn’t know that was his dad? Maybe lol
Bad bad call. I live in mass. You cannot get people in June or July to do much.
There are some circumstances that do not change, they stay the same. Your mind must be renewed by the Spirit in order to learn how to navigate the situation in a godly and successful manner. Whenever God is not changing your circumstances, it means that he is changing you. What God is doing in you is much greater than anything that the enemy has done to you.
this guy has no case, no damages
Wrong, he definitely had damages because he lost at least one month's rent since he sent notice to vacate to tenants at HER REQUEST because she claimed she needed that to do her staging, but she never did the staging so he relied on her, and in reliance damages he totally deserved at least one months rent or more. I thought the judge was smarter than that!
I am just reading the comments. I don't personally agree with the verdict but the guy didn't do anything to remedy the situation. He wanted to stage his home, his first stager backed out, go get another one. He didn't do that, he just wants money for all the months his property stayed there and says to the judge, "Please believe me that I did all this work to remedy my situation", but he can't prove anything. No phone records, no statements by anyone else. This is a court of law, I do believe he should have gotten more than $1 but with no evidence and just wanting the rent money and other expenses he would have done anyway. I think she made the right decision based on the evidence presented.
Took a page outta taylor swifts lawsuit
First. Spoiler blocker!
Congrats!
Lol who cares it's not middle school 🤣
🍬
🪅
Nobody could paint. I called 3 companies 😅
This was hard to watch. He should have never brought it to court in the beginning. I agree with the judgement. $1 lmfao
Like I said JM NOT 💩
"I tried you honor but no one was available. I called THREE separate companies!" 😅
Yeah at that point I would have just done it myself lol. No need to bring this mess to court and be embarrassed like that.
DISAGREE! This was about PRINCIPLES!
@@pmabrouk Lol I still prefer to save myself the embarrassment.
Advice for winning a judgment in Milian's court...
Do nothing and show up with Zero evidence & just your flapping gums.
You'll be a weiner every time. 😉😁🌭😁👀
Flapping gums 😂. She hears alot of that garbage 😅
