Eviction advice needed

Unfortunately, I have rent one of my property to this person.  They represented themselves as self-employed business person for house showing.  And they signed lease, and moved in this April. However, things got worse and worse.  I went to the house to fix the AC, and saw the guy smoking and dogs were around.  This is non-smoking ,non-pet unit.  That's the first red flag.  

They paid 6 month rent ahead time, now 6 month passed and they cant make payment.  and I give them formal 3 day notice.  They tenant called after that, told me everything in my property is broken and wrong. Threatened me saying he has really good lawyers, i wont win for eviction if i try.  He said i need to give him a notarized 30 day notice, then he will move out.  He want my lawyer to call him and talked to him.  He said he has the right to talk to my lawyer. lol  I hanged up the phone.   I am going to filling Eviction next week. 

have anyone ever deal with this before? I would appreciated any advice or shared story.

Don't let this guy intimidate you.  He doesn't have a good lawyer - that's a lie.  Even if he knows a good lawyer, that lawyer will not work for free - if he has enough money to pay a lawyer, he has enough money to pay his rent.

Second, if he had a lawyer, the lawyer would tell him that he is not to talk to you directly any more.  Lawyers will push their clients back and be the only ones talking.

Go through your eviction process and get him out.

Next time, you don't believe things people tell you.  You make them prove everything.  If self employed, make them show tax returns and bank account history.  If they say they work for somebody, you need to call the employer and verify.

Good luck!
