So I have a renter that is a number of months delinquent. I am considering hiring an attorney to evict them. The attorney charges the full amount up front for an eviction. With that in mind what if the tenant tries to bring their least current without reimbursing me for the attorney fees?  Is a tenant legally obligated to reimburse me for attorney fees? Do I have to allow the tenant to cure their default? The property is in Texas.

Lots of posts on how to qualify GCs but what about a good attorney?  Referrals are great (and any are welcome in the San Antonio, TX area) but what should I want to know?  The practice areas I want are:

- Real estate (title stuff, real estate contracts)

- Business Law (GC contracts, incorporation etc)

@Ethan G. Thank you for your reply! I never thought about doing it with an LLC but seems like a good idea! my first option would be under my name just to get a better rate. however out of curiosity do you happen to know if in the closing documents they include a "non homestead affidavit" would that affect me even after doing a cashout refi? like I mentioned, once the Hard money lender is paid off I don't see why I would still have to obey the "non homestead affidavit". I just would hate to get in a sticky situation, I surely will do more research and ask some hardmoney lenders if this would be an issue. but sometimes I think its better to take action and ask for forgiveness later, as long as it doesnt mean getting into some serious trouble or breaking the law
