Will a maintenance request impact a pending eviction?

[Patrick Menefee]

I inherited tenants on month to month leases and notified a tenant that I would not be renewing. They did not leave, so the eviction was filed today. Ironically, the same tenant filed a maintenance request today for a door knob falling off. Should I address this request despite the pending eviction? Should I wait? Will taking one action or the other impact my pending eviction? Thanks!
