A Very Unexpected Roommate on 'The People's Court' (VIDEO)

Getting a new apartment is always a tricky affair. Does the shower work properly? Is the hot water hot enough? Is the AC cold? ... Is there a strange man living in the middle of the apartment?

The last issue is the one that comes up on 'The People's Court' (weekdays, syndicated). Judge Marilyn Milian has to deal with a young woman who is suing her landlord -- because some weird stuff happens when the girl moves into her new place.

The judge is willing to sympathize with the landlord to a certain extent. The apartment is dirty? Okay, that's not so bad. The lock on the bathroom door doesn't work? Not so great, but understandable.

... But then it is revealed that there's a strange man living in the place, and no one told the new girl. That's not cool. That's going to be a deal-breaker. Judge Milian points out that living with a dude kind of sucks even when you already know the guy. But a strange, unexpected guy in your new home for no reason? Bad, very bad. The judge orders the landlord to give the money back. Case closed!
