How can I evict tenant and fire my property manager at the same time?

[Al L.]

My seller/property manager sold me a house in IL with a tenant who was delinquent on the 3rd month after he moved in.  He paid partially since then.  Now he owed me about three months.  I used/paid my PM's lawyer and filed eviction lawsuit under my PM's name.  On the purchase contract, my seller/PM agreed to purchase a rent protect policy in case of eviction, which he never did.  My PM just kept accepting partial rent after a 5 day notice was serviced.  Also, I just recently found out that his team lied to me and instructed this lawyer not to hire private process server.  His lawyer sent me his email communication with the PM.  That's why I know this.  My seller/property manager also threatened to stop managing my property if i insists moving forward with eviction.  I want to move my property out of his management, but I don't know anyone else in Chicago.  I am also worried if I do this, I have to restart eviction under my name.  More time and money will be lost.  My PM might not testify for me in court, since he knows he has to pay for my rent loss and legal fees.

Your PM is not on your side, and is actively hindering your business - to say the least.

First fire the PM, take over your own property, and then evict.  This PM is not interested in helping you with this eviction.  Sounds like the PM, the tenant and the lawyer are all in bed together.  You need to fire them all and start fresh.

Time to hire your own lawyer.
