Lender is making my Refi difficult

[Frank Agyeman-Duah]

I'm in the process of refinancing my owner occupied duplex. I purchased this out of state in Cleveland OH, and moved in one units because I work from home. I reached out to a local lender to refi after living for for about 8 months. I have submitted all the requested documents to the lender, including utility bills and driver's license with my name and address showing I live in this property. Lending is now asking me to get a letter notarized to detail the main reason why I relocated. It appears lender still doubting that I live in this property and is making the refi a hell for me.  Your suggestions will be appreciated. I will also appreciate suggestions for lenders willing to refi in the Cleveland, OH area.
