unfair judge

Postby redm4n » Fri Nov 22, 2002 1:37 am

i was ordered to get rid of my washer after i showed the judge letters that i gave the LL stating that i was getting a washer. the LL never answered saying he never got the letter.i had the washer for 2 years now with no problems. since the landlord found out i had a washer he claims there has been flooding in the building caused by the machine. yet when he came to court he had not on stred of proof from anyone complaining about floods or backing up.he couldnt provide not one instance. I alsp showed the judge pics of work done in the house to show that maintanance knew of the washer but never said anything. now all of a sudden since theres a problem with an old pipe in the building that burst they blame me. the judge ruled against me because of a holdover i had 8 months prior. i violated the stipulation and was bought back into court where the matter was finally resolved.case closed. the judge claimed that that case ruined my credibility. but why is he holding that against me when the burden of proof lies on the LL and he didnt prove a thing. he had no evidence but his word. i had documents that the judge admitted into evidence that supported and countered there allegations. but because i violated the stip on a previous case. hes holding this against me instead of using the facts and the law. does a previous violation of a stip automatically rule you out of a win with future cases. I feel the judge acted in prejudice and didnt take the law into account but his own feelings
