'Chilling Out a Tenant' & 'Fencing in a Neighbor' & 'Disappearing'

First, the plaintiffs rented an apartment from the defendant. They claim the heater in their home never worked, so it was absolutely freezing. The plaintiffs’ son got sick due to the cold, and when they confronted the defendant about it, he said they could just move out. They’re suing for their security deposit, moving costs, and the deposit on a new apartment. The defendant argues the plaintiffs moved out because they argued with their downstairs neighbors all the time. Then, the plaintiff says the defendant’s young nephew crashed his bike into her fence and completely destroyed it. She claims the defendant paid her in the beginning but then disappeared. She’s suing for the balance due on fence repairs. The defendant argues the plaintiff is trying to take advantage of the situation by getting an entirely new fence out of it. Plus, the plaintiff has been friends with the defendant for 25 years. He loaned his longtime pal money to help pay for his wedding, but the plaintiff claims the defendant hasn’t paid him back even though the defendant purchased a new car. He’s suing for unpaid loans. The defendant claims he did thousands of dollars of electrical work on the plaintiff’s house, which cost more than what the plaintiff loaned him. He says he paid the plaintiff back.
