We have a tenant that has not paid rent since October of last year and has now been aggressively calling and texting me to pry $4,000 from me in exchange for the keys. He states that him and his family will leave tomorrow if we pay up. The lawyer we hired stated that she filed an application for the rent owed and for them to be evicted. We tried to inform her that they're asking for money now but the lawyer is not answering her phone now. She last informed us that we would receive information in the mail regarding the application. How should we proceed? This is absolutely ridiculous and unjust.
