Why am I unscrupulous?  Also, the parents are on the lease, not the student, so you sue them.  And again - this wins on summary judgment.  What would the defenses be?  Mom and Dad, who signed the lease, don't want to pay?

You're an idiot.  [/quote]
You seem to have an anger problem - I would try to manage that lady.

No one cares whether you are being unscrupulous or not, you will look unscrupulous and greedy to the jury - and self-centered to boot. Again, you are going to look like you are suing two hard-working parents to make money off your gross, dilapidated rental property. Get a job lady, rent-seeking is not a retirement strategy. Also this is Prince George's County so you really think the jury would take a look at you, take a look at the renter and their working-class parents, and rule for you during a global pandemic when 22 million people are unemployed? Lmao. [/quote]

The limit for small claims court in Maryland is $5000, and again, there's no jury there.  And there is no right to a jury trial in Maryland for $5000.

Also, even if there was a right to a jury trial, are you familiar with the concept of summary judgment?  If not, you really should familiarize yourself with it.  It means that even if all the facts are exactly as the defendant states they are, as a matter of law, he or she still loses.  That is the case here.  The college closed, my kid moved home, he lost his part-time job - none of that is relevant.  There is a contract, and the landlord is entitled to enforce it.  The case never sees a jury.

And it was unkind of me to point out that you are an idiot.  I'm sorry.  Rather, you don't understand the legal process here, and are insisting that things matter that really wouldn't.  [/quote]
Lady, I'm an attorney, and what you are saying is entirely bunk. If a renter asks for a jury trial, they will get one. Summary judgement motion will be denied immediately based on extenuating circumstances, specifically the global pandemic.

Again, not only do you seem to have anger-management issues, you sound self-centered. Go ahead and try representing yourself in court. You're a perfect foil to a sympathetic defendant. [/quote]
