00:00Mr. Bass, it appears that you were unfortunately displaced by a fire that was here in California

00:06and found a room in the defendant's home where he was renting two rooms in his house.

00:13The other tenant that was living there turned out to be a little nutty.

00:17Would that be a fair statement?

00:18Yes, he was actually a very good...

00:21I didn't ask.

00:22Oh, excuse me.

00:22Okay, sorry.

00:23As a result of him being a little nutty, either or both of you got a restraining order against him

00:29and he was gone.

00:30Then it is your claim that after this person was gone, this was in January, by the way,

00:36of 2018, that you moved in to his house.

00:39The person who left after the restraining order left in what month and year?

00:44Madam, the original tenant was another wonderful roommate who moved because of the hostility

00:50of Mr. Miller.

00:51That's not true.

00:51The second roommate who came in was invited in by Mr. Miller.

00:56He was arrested on the driveway.

00:57Would you just answer my question?

01:01I'm confused as to which one we're speaking about because there subsequently was another

01:05man who violently attacked us and was arrested inside the home.

01:08Just a second.

01:09It's a very simple question.

01:11You moved in in January of 2018.

01:14There was a roommate who turned out to be difficult enough for the landlord.

01:22And I don't know whether you joined with the landlord in seeking a protective order to have

01:27him removed.

01:27Did you join with the landlord?

01:29I did.

01:29I was.

01:30That's either a yes or a no.

01:33You joined with the landlord in getting rid of this other tenant.

01:37Now, my question is, when did that take place?

01:40I believe that was April of this year.

01:42Now, after that, was another roommate admitted to your home?

01:47Yes.

01:47That moved in to take his room.

01:50In what month?

01:51That was in August 1st of this year.

01:54Is that correct?

01:56Yes, ma'am.

01:56And you moved out in what month and year?

02:00Ten days ago.

02:01You moved out in?

02:02I moved most of my things weeks before.

02:05In October.

02:06Yeah, technically.

02:07He's still there.

02:08He still has stuff in his room.

02:10He still has stuff in the kitchen.

02:11But you physically yourself moved out.

02:14Yes, ma'am.

02:15And you understand, Mr. Bassett, if you have property, I assume you did not pay rent after

02:21you moved out.

02:22No, ma'am.

02:22What day in October did you physically move out?

02:25My new rental agreement is dated the 27th of October, so that would have been 10 days

02:29ago.

02:30So you were there the whole month of October?

02:32I wasn't, but some of my property was, and I was coming and going.

02:35Then you lived there.

02:37Did you pay October's rent?

02:38No.

02:39What was your rent?

02:40700.

02:41Did you pay August's rent?

02:42Yes.

02:43So the only rent that you didn't pay was the month of October?

02:47September, ma'am.

02:48You didn't pay September either?

02:50No.

02:50And you were there in September?

02:51Yes.

02:52After filing the action and sending several letters certified to him, asking to be relocated

02:57and to be compensated for the damage, including violent attacks against me, destruction of

03:01my property, an overall hostile environment.

03:04The one man you mentioned that was taken to jail, that was the second man who was arrested

03:08on the property.

03:09He had previously invited another man, a known schizophrenic that Mr. Miller knew had been

03:15arrested for violent acts and was indeed arrested on the driveway while fighting with

03:19the police and screaming and cussing at the neighbors.

03:21That was before the man that you just mentioned was arrested inside the house for violently

03:26attacking me, saying he was going to kill me repeatedly and to kill my family repeatedly,

03:30even while in custody of the police.

03:32He did, in fact, return and stole my property, vandalized my property to the tune of thousands

03:37of dollars and vandalized his car, let the air out of my tires, this sort of thing, with

03:42some sort of large knife that he used to destroy trees of Mr. Miller and do this to his

03:50car door, this sort of thing.

03:51Are you finished?

03:52Yes, ma'am.

03:53Good.

03:53There's no counterclaim here for the two months rent that you owe the defendant, $1,400,

03:59which you did not pay.

04:00You chose to leave.

04:01You moved there in January of 2018 and you lived there a year and a half.

04:05If you were unhappy with the fact that Mr. Miller was not wiser in his selection of roommates,

04:12then you had plenty of time to move.

04:14You had plenty of time to find, I assume, since you are an intelligent man, I assume that you

04:19have a job, then find someplace else to live.

04:22If you feel as if the landlord is not exercising good judgment in the selection of roommates,

04:28because he certainly wouldn't purposely invite somebody that would vandalize his car and rip

04:35his furniture, he wouldn't say, oh, I think I would like that person to come and live with

04:39me, because that's stupid.

04:42He doesn't look like a stupid man.

04:43He may have exercised poor judgment.

04:45You're not getting $5,000.

04:47That's not happening.

04:48You owe him $1,400 in rent, but he doesn't have a counterclaim.

04:52Your case is dismissed.

04:53We're finished.

04:53I wouldn't pay him a cent.

04:55Bodies are excused.

04:56You may step out.
