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

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $3,077. I have a written lease.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under state landlord-tenant code. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct in violation of notice requirements.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
