第一,你要有一個很強的立論。上過幾次法庭。聽到很多地主夾雜不清,雞毛蒜皮的東西都要滔滔不絕。庭審分搬不搬和賠不賠兩堂。我一般隻說今天的問題。比如搬不搬的時候有房客提出搬入時沒有冰箱,我知道這是謊言,但我一言不發。法官問我還有什麽問題,我說沒有了。因為那天隻決定搬不搬的問題,跟冰箱沒有關係。
第二,要建立證據鏈。要一環扣一環。逐步推進到你想要法官接受的那一鏈。
第三,要引人入勝。要提起法官的興趣,覺得不把此人趕走是對社會的危害。
最近我趕走了一個人。這是我在法庭上陳述的觀點。
The landlord complaints include:
1. Ms L was a trespasser. She moved into Unit 9 in late January without permission, although we received her application form.
2. She refused to sign a lease, and the management served her 3-day notice on 3/28/2012.
3. She did not answer and she did not return any calls from the management.
4. She owes $1950 dollars in back rent, late fee, and notice fee.
5. Ms L is responsible for paying her electricity consumption. I called the power company and the company said Ms L never set up an account to pay the electricity bill. So not paying rent is not her only no-pay activity. She took advantage of others when she can.
6. Police raid her apartment in February taking away 2 people that were wanted for drug charges.
7. Other tenants reported that dozens of people go through her apartment each day, each visitor staying a very short time, indicating a possible drug activity. Tenants also saw an increasing number of theft incidents.
1 抓住了法官的attention。基於這個,Ms L被給予三天時間搬出。
2-4 是正常不付房租的情況,幾乎人人相同。
5 也具有殺傷力。表明我不是第一個也不是最後一個被take advantage的人。
6-7 表明她對社會是個威脅。
