But -- court is back in session on the docket today the landlord strikes back.

A couple of weeks ago we told you about a New Jersey couple suing their landlord.

They claim that they were forced to leave their rental house because it was -- Great -- and keeping them.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- cover this season being pulled out of my hand.

It wasn't just the couple.

They even hired a ghost expert who was on their side.

Their sense of what they're experiencing I get the 110% I believe exactly what they're saying.

And we had to go sector on this program who also believed in that.

Now the little lord it is fighting back.

Filing a counter suit against them for fifteen grand saying that they're bogus claims.

Are scaring away potential new tenants for him.

Joining me now for around who.

Kimberly Guilfoyle a former prosecutor and cohost of the five right here on -- and -- and jobless Biltmore who's a defense attorney and onetime cross it's all right so.

They're back and -- the landlord has said I'm not taking this lying down you people are -- -- liars and Natalie had you cost your rent.

You're costing -- future tenants because this story wound up like -- scored.

And now the People's Court wants to have -- odd then nobody wants here Kimberly that they had.

Complaints somebody called ghost busters but they did.

I don't believe that he has a complaint is yet to prove actual damages that he's tried to rent the property and he's out the money that they would have paid if they had honored the least.

I think they still have somewhat of a case I mean in terms of that they have credible witnesses you -- the last time I did and boy did I have some public emails and comments about it let me -- You had an accident on your side there is precedent in new 1990 -- -- -- exactly declaring I'm recognizing.

Some properties as officially haunted.

For purposes of the loss so to all you naysayers out they have never that Madonna and therefore -- you tell me kennel landlords to them for fifteen grand based on -- the possible loss of and it.

He can sue them all right because it is so hard to get out of the -- and you can't get out of belief because you see dead people that's not going to happen.

But I have to say there -- several people who want to rent that out if they really think it's odd that so Kimberly is right he's -- -- Maybe he -- adding that because the landlords unhappy and says he can't read that and and it's not just that this couple quietly said he mr.

landlord.

When we can't live here they they put it on tape.

They circulated it they spoke with you -- -- and they even offered.

It sound bytes.

Evidence like this what.

Get out of my house.

But.

It kind of scary I wouldn't -- an event -- I -- Italian.

But they do you have a -- I'm trying to make Nike said that Cape -- point in New York.

They would try to look pointed -- making that follow what they say is happening more money make it might help hey they might happen if they honored believed that that make -- -- -- what else are they claiming his -- Andy besides the -- -- all coming up the lights are going on or not they hear -- and -- like noises sounds like somebody is bears though.

I'm big a ghost expert the -- -- on that that this is a higher level of ghosts and happening the house Diana they talk about unintelligible whispering right seems to fade in and out with the -- -- of something lumbering seven feet.

Below when doors creaking three being open slamming close unoccupied areas of the house lights on and off about human intervention.

They come home and find their clothes and towels injected from the closets and all over the floors and now even making those allegations.

That can get you sued.

You bet today it doesn't sound like they're living so much for the go with a thousand they're living with a teenager but anyway okay yeah I think -- -- not really that.

This is a great case for People's Court because they're both good and -- Winning some and losing sound but no they aren't they nice and other I think I think they -- and now this hired it -- -- -- the ghost -- -- would -- say you're living with -- Oakmont they need to -- it a little -- had that.

Paranormal investigators said that they believe that the house is inhabited by doesn't get more and they worry very credible the -- -- -- you have fat death.
