Hypothetical question

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

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 5 years. My monthly rent is $3,302. I have a written lease.

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