@Nathan Gesnerthanks for the input! @Joe Splitrock that's also a concern with the way they could interpret a new filing.

I appreciate the help. I've tried working with the tenant from a human level numerous times and that's when they start with their manipulation games. She actually was just evicted the month before moving into my property (again the previous owner wouldn't give me tenant information as it was "personal information they couldn't disclose" until I bought the property). Maybe the cash for keys is an option, but they haven't paid rent since March (but that is not the reason for eviction). I might talk to the bar soon.

It might help if I fill in a few blanks:

1. We had a signed agreement added to lease that if they didn't pay by a certain date they agreed to voluntarily move and the lease would automatically terminate. (This was made initially after they had issues paying and we agreed on a solution.). <-- They broke this lease term as they didn't pay but refused to move out. And we both signed this agreement. So they are considered a holdover tenant as of April.

2. They keep on dropping rental insurance after I keep reminding them it's in their contract and they need it for the full duration <-- Breaking the lease

3. They lied on the cdc declaration<-- They didn't even try to exhaust financial government assistance or even try and pay me on time. I know they never tried because the landlord is supposed to sign a form when initiated by the tenant. They aren't keeping all the terms of the lease.

Their last payment was in March.

@Justin Tahilramani@Grayson Spittel I appreciate it, but currently I'm not looking to sell. If I do change my mind I'll reach out to you all.

@Carlin Randolph, I appreciate the help. I've tried working with the tenant from a human level numerous times and that's when they start with their manipulation games. She actually was just evicted the month before moving into my property (again the previous owner wouldn't give me tenant information as it was "personal information" until I bought the property). Maybe the cash for keys is an option, but they haven't paid rent since April (but that is not the reason for eviction). I might talk to the bar soon.

@Justin Tahilramani@Grayson Spittel I appreciate it, but currently I'm not looking to sell. If I do change my mind I'll reach out to you all.

@Peter M. I don’t have to have one in NC, but he’s become more of a blocker because I haven’t been able to get most of the paperwork from him that I need to re-file myself. I’d basically be going in blind. I’ve tried numerous times to even get him to send me the court fee invoices but he still hasn’t. 

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?

If it is a plumber make sure that they are actually licensed and do a search on their company to see if it is actually registered with the plumbing board https://public.nclicensing.org... . 

I'm a pretty new landlord in Fayetteville but I opted not to use a property manager and do it myself for the time being. Let me know if you have any questions.

There's way too many agents to stick with this one. If he would have messaged you and told you about this before you were waiting on him then I'd understand. I would take it as a foreshadowing. If he can't communicate right when you are looking how much worse will it be when you have a deal in the works.

If you find a good guy let me know. I’m driving back and forth from Charlotte with my new property and am in the process of acting as the GC and hiring subs. 

Definitely good to know @Dan Travieso. That’s what I’ve heard from a few other investors in the area. The financials make sense in Fayetteville. Other markets like Charlotte are getting overcrowded. 

Any suggestions for any good contractors or handymen in the area?
