I have a partnership in a hotel and there is a long-term tenant that we inherited.  He hasn't paid in 6 months.  We filed eviction and he presented a forged note from the prior owner stating he had "prepaid for 6 months".   We called the old owner and he said it was forged and that he was the tenant he told us about that was $180 behind on rent upon sale.

The judge told us he is paid through Feb and that we'd need to collect from him starting in March.  The judge also said we need to file with the other person in the room on the eviction documentation even though we only have one person registered as a guest.  It is March and no payment.  We want to make sure this guy gets evicted because we found out he did this at the property he was at prior to moving to ours as well so he's a professional.   The judge seems very strict and we want to get this leach out.

Knowing he is headed towards eviction, he called the health department claiming he had sewage in his room.  He also called them again to say he had mold in his room and all rooms in the hotel.  We don't have any mold in any rooms that we know of and he does not let anyone enter his room.  He then called the police saying someone broke his window and the manager refuses to fix his window.  Again he refuses anyone to go in his room.  He has also called the police to file a noise complaint against our GC upgrading the property.  All this within weeks of our failed court attempt to evict him.

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GOOD ATTORNEY IN HOUSTON TO GET THIS GUY OUT!?

The estimating uses the exact same database. The biggest difference is Xactimate has estimating for water/fire remediation that xactremodel doesn't have.
