What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I sued an ex-landlord for retaining the deposit and adding in yet more cleaning charges. I think I performed well as plaintiff and the judge practically got the landlords to admit that they missed the 21 Day deadline, and that they failed to allow us to be in the residence at the time of the final walk-through. Outrageous. I was fully expecting a favorable judgment (there is no way our evidence didn't predominate) but the judge gave back our folder (exhibits, evidence, etc) and asked the defendants if he could read their stuff and then shred it. "No problem" they said. He said it would be "more helpful."
At the time, I froze because I wanted to be deferential. But it is causing a lot of anxiety as we wait for word from the court.....is it possible or likely that he only wanted it to see their folder because he wanted to see if there was anything in it that countered what I said? These people lied during the hearing, and the folder they gave him was THICK with BS that our folder contradicted. Frustrating! Any pearls of wisdom from folks who've been through the waiting game from hell?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
