I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 5 years. My monthly rent is $3,671. I have a written lease.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

So basically have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The #1 mistake I see here is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This is a great example of why reading the terms of service matters. I know it's tedious, but at minimum, check: (1) arbitration clauses, (2) liability limitations, (3) auto-renewal provisions, (4) cancellation procedures, and (5) class action waivers. These 5 sections tell you most of what you need to know.
