Act quickly to ensure the issues are addressed, and consider consulting with a lawyer if you need further legal advice.

At this point, this tenant sounds like they're all bark with very little bite - I'd just keep documenting everything in writing (as it sounds like you've been doing) and sending everything to them via email as a backup as well, and only involve the lawyers if the need actually arises (e.g. if they file a rent escrow action; if you need to start eviction process for non-/partial payment; if you get them to agree to a mutual lease termination; etc).If you do end up going with the carpet replacement option, I would also recommend going one step further: in addition to replacing the carpet and the padding underneath, also take that opportunity to put down a coat or two of heavy duty Killz on the subfloor before the new carpet gets installed. 

Is it recommended to have a LLC and who can help creating a LLC (tax consultant or lawyer)? 

I can see lawyers having a field day with this.

To this date (3/27/2019), I have only received ONE payment from them and that was after I told them my lawyer was going to get involved.

Here goes me committing BP suicide, I think.My "lawyer", chatgpt, claims that no laws were broken. 

Would also take Lawyer referral too if you have one.

The best way is probably a quitclaim deed (it might be different in your state, it would be worth asking a lawyer or title company), although I'm not sure exactly what the point of this is.

Not a cpa, not a lawyer, just a reader....TBS.I’m pretty sure you’re generalizing at least a couple ideas...The best you’re going to do is tax free on the side you lived in, if it’s under $250k or $500k if married, you’re going to owe capital gains tax and depreciation capture on the rental side regardless  You have to have lived there as your primary FIRST, if it was a rental first, you’re going to owe capital gains and DR on the percent of time the half you lived in was a rental, and 100% of the other unit.
