bad tenant, eviction, appeal, what do i do?

[Marie Skaggs]

OK so we bought our 1st rental property...  spent about 10 months of hard work and sweat to completely gut it and put it back into great shape on our own.  Got our tenant and she had a good background check, a job, previous landlord reference and 1st, last month and security deposit ready to go!  All is great... until it was time to make the next rent payment.  Luckily we only had a 6 month rental agreement. But every month we had to file for eviction and possession but we got the rent.  on our last month to get the rent, our tenant files a late appeal to stop the eviction.  she has lied on all her forms for this appeal.  (lied about rent amount, lied about having a job, lied about us(the landlord) not addressing her complaint of sewage in basement and much more)  We have always responded to her complaints of sewage within a couple of hours. and usually had them resolved the next day, except for this last complaint.  We had to hire a plumbing company to completely excavate all underground sewage pipes and traps because of a PVC pipe that was shoved down the cleanout in the yard which backed up everything in the basement! This costs us over $9000. Of course there is no way to prove who did this. The past 2 days my husband and I have spent all our time trying to put a motion together to stop her appeal.  Tomorrow is the big day for us to file our motion!  And her lease ends tomorrow 7/31/17 at 8pm.  But she told us she will not be leaving tomorrow.  I hope we can get her out.

There is one small problem... her brother has just rented the place next door.  I have a bad feeling that they will do damage to our house if we evict her.  Does anyone have any advise for us?
