I remember reading about this incident before. She is the landlady, the man recording was renting from her. She wanted to kick him out and hold all his stuff for non payment. He had shown the court all the cancelled checks, with her signature on the backs, and won the right to stay there until he could find another place to live.
He also found out that he wasn't the first person this "lady" did this to.
I am glad he got some justice, but she should be punished for running this scam on men.
