Manipulative Tenant breaking lease (multiple places) won't leave

Hi All,

I've got a multi-family property in Fayetteville, NC with an inherited tenant who is a nightmare to deal with. The tenant is breaking the lease in multiple places. One of such violations is they keep dropping renters insurance even though they are required to have it as per their lease for the full time of the lease. Even after notifying the tenant multiple times they never actually get the insurance. 


My lawyer filed for eviction incorrectly ,and said I was trying to evict for non-payment of rent (which was completely incorrect). And because of the eviction moratorium my court date was pushed back. On another note my lawyer is extremely non-responsive at his office and I can barely get ahold of him (even after multiple weeks of calling and leaving voicemails). I've tried asking him to re-file correctly but he keeps pushing the meeting out continually. I'm exhausted of this.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

@Bryan Flores Do you have to have a lawyer file for you in that state? Might be better to do it yourself, learn from the experience. Can't be worse than the results you are getting now
