If you only have the nonpayment of rent as the only way of getting him out then you are going to have to deal with him for at least a month. Long enough for him to say he has all kinds of health problems because of your rental.
You will be screwed.
Do what some of other posts are saying and tell him you'll let him out of the lease with no repurcussions. Maybe work out a deal with the security deposit.
You need a stable renter who isn't a nut. Its sucks being landlord.

My attorney told me not to talk to him at all. If he has health problems he can come to me and tell me I want out lets negotiate.
I believe what happens was he found a cheaper place and thought how do I get out of this lease? So he says ok the smoke bothers me, I am going to sue you. I told him you can sue anyone, and no one can stop you. To avoid litigation LETS MEET with my attorney and we will find a middle ground.
I paid the attorney 1k just to come to the meeting
The tenant decides he does not want to meet. He sends me an email saying we will stay. I cant ask him to go because that will be retaliation for complaining about the smoke (which is illegal).
If you are so concerned about your health you would do ANYTHING to leave right? Then why do not come and meet and get to an agreement and LEAVE?
