I love abusing the New York State Judicial System. OK, I am not really abusing it, I am simply using it within the bounds of my rights as a citizen. For those of you who do not know, I am weilding the long arm of the law against my corrupt and crooked landlady. She refused to return our security deposit, so I am taking her to small claims court tomorrow morning. Of course she has called me twice since I filed suit last month offering to settle. She is not, however, very creative in her offers. She made the same offer that she made six months ago that was unacceptable to me. She offered half the money back even thoughno work was needed, she did no work, and did not comply with numerous laws governing rents in New York City. I feel so good about how prepared I am! I have her nailed on Article 7, Title 1, Section 7-103 of New York’s General Obligations law, as well as numerous other violations. I figure I could nail her for fraud, but why push it? I just want my money back. She called this evening to let me know she would like a continuance pending settling, so we’ll see if I actually get my day in court. I kind of hope I do get to be sworn in to Small Claims Court and present my case Judge Judy style! Incidentally, I got home the other day and found an airborne express envelope on my door. Apparently I was invited to take an all expense paid trip to Houston to plead my small claims case on Texas Justice. Tempting, but I am just not white trash enough to go on a daytime court show. It would have been fun but I can’t take the time off work and I would never give my heartless ex-landlady a free trip! So I will update y’all with the result of my big day in court later in the week. Exciting, isn’t it?

UPDATE: Many people have found this page through Google. If you have questions, feel free to email me through the contact me link on the left. I ended up winning the case (She got scared and finally settled). I would be happy to help.
