He says it is a total sellers market right now with horses bringing $10k-$20k OVER asking price.

So, in this case, I suggest you go the horse's mouth.

It's either a game, a stalling tactic, or a very bad business person.

You can lead a horse to water......

The formal eviction process, especially when dealing with a professional tenant here can take forever, with fake or no merit complaints that the tenant can claim and stall the process.What an uncomfortable situation that must be.

Everything after the point were the parties have looked at an O&E and seen the recorded AOM's (which again the O&E report should have a copy in it as well) is kicking a horse that has already ran the race.

While I commend you for taking action it looks like you may have put the cart before the horse.

This is based on the indexing concept (see tomveatch.com/re/indexing.html) derived from three foundations, the mathematical theorem from information theory on horse race betting, the informational theory of pricing, and a 50-50 valuation ratio between all stocks and all real estate, which was approximately true last time I calculated it.  

Why not continuing to bet on the horse that's getting you to the finish line and winning the race for you at this time?

China,IMHO, you are putting the cart before the horse.
