First, the plaintiff rented space in the defendant’s hair salon to sell DVDs to salon traffic. However, the plaintiff didn’t make enough money, so he left. The defendant failed to return the security deposit, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff didn’t give enough notice and wasn’t running a legal business, so she had every right to keep the deposit. The defendant is countersuing for damages and rent.

Then, the plaintiff brought her new car into the defendant’s shop. A week later, the plaintiff’s vehicle broke down due to an electrical problem, so she’s suing for a refund. The defendant argues he didn’t do anything involving the electrical system in the plaintiff’s car.

Plus, the plaintiff says the defendant used to date her daughter. While they were together, the defendant was planning to go on a vacation with the plaintiff and her family, but he backed out. The plaintiff is suing for travel costs she says he owes. The defendant argues the plaintiff offered to take him on the trip without any mention of having to pay for it.
