How can I go about reporting a Judge who made a unfair decision and fail to review the case previously.?
I had a landlord tennant problem. My land lord claimed I owed money, I had all the documentation including recepts, lease agreement, deposits, and I also deposited the pending rent into the court. The judge didnt review any of the information because he was asking for documentation that was already presented to the courts in the response and the judge didnt want to hear my side. He discovered that the money that the landlord claimed late wasnt even a months worth, but made a judgement for eviction because the landlord said he just wanted me out. So the judge said ok and grated possession of the property. I was given 24h to vacate. This judgement was wrong based on all my documentation and rent recepts. This information was not review before the case. I shouldnt even showed up to the case because I was not heard. Every time I asked to speak the judge got mad. What can be done about this injustice to minority renters who are not being heard. This is happening in the Daytona Beach area.
Answers:
"Wasnt even a month's worth" late? Technically, if you are a day late, the landlord can evict. The judge didnt rule in favor of the landlord based upon you being a minority. Get over that. As is the case when most people post things about injustice in court, more than likely you are leaving facts out or embellishing the facts you present. It's human nature to do that. It's highly unlikely that the judge just said "ok because the landlord wanted you out of there."
As for not reviewing the information you presented, if the law is that the landlord could evict because the rent was late, the fact that it was almost a month late makes when you paid irrelevant. Late is late. Now if I were involved in this case, I would have tried to negotiate with the landlord and come to some kind of agreement either to continue possession or get time to leave. I dont know what led up to the court action, but I suspect you and the landlord dont get along particularly well.
I also question the 24 hours to vacate claim. I've done alot of landlord tenant law...granted not in Florida but in other states...and I never heard of that kind of turnaround. Usually there is at least two weeks to vacate.
You should have hired a lawyer.
