Judge Snaps at Section 8 Tenant: ‘You Weren’t Listening’ — Eviction Granted

A Section 8 tenant appeared in court after a sudden layoff left her struggling to cover rent while housing assistance restarted. She told the judge she paid what she could, filed emergency paperwork, and believed Section 8 would cover February — but the landlord said no proof was ever submitted to the court. As the hearing unfolded, confusion over deadlines, required filings, and housing assistance turned into frustration. The judge repeatedly explained that landlords need verification, not assumptions — and that filing paperwork with an agency isn’t the same as filing it with the court. When the tenant accused opposing counsel of not telling the truth, the tone shifted sharply. The judge shut it down, emphasizing respect, accountability, and personal responsibility in court. With no verified proof that assistance would cover the rent and no payment made by the deadline, the judge found no triable issue, entered judgment for possession, and ordered eviction. The case highlights a harsh reality of housing court: good faith efforts don’t stop eviction without proper proof — and misunderstandings can cost people their homes.
