"&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/rachel-uchitel/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rachel Uchitel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a little richer (again) -- a judge just ruled she can get her $1,500 deposit back from the sober living facility that refused to give it back ... rejecting the claim that her dog pooped all over the place and ruined the couch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/12/20/1220-rachel-ex-tmz-02-credit.jpg\" alt=\"1220_rachel_EX_TMZ_02\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uchitel filed two separate small claims lawsuits against Oceanside Transitional Living -- one claiming they didn't return her &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/10/07/rachel-uchitel-sober-living-house-cartier-watch-celebrity-rehab/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$11,000 Cartier watch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; the other for the return of her &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/11/07/rachel-uchitel-lawsuit-suing-rehab-oceanside-security-deposit/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;security deposit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rachel actually called a character witness ... for her dog ... who testified how well the dog usually behaves. The judge decided the facility didn't provide enough evidence (&lt;em&gt;ewww&lt;/em&gt;!) to prove it was her dog that did the deed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: The judge took the watch case under submission and, we're told, will issue a ruling sometime this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rachel wasn't too chatty on her way out, but she was clearly happy to be victorious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n{{tmz_video_0}}\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/12/24/2326-rachel-uchitels-beachin-bod\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/07/19/0719-uchitel-footer-credit.jpg\" alt=\"0719_UCHITEL_footer\" title=\"Rachel Uchitel Bikini Photos\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
