I don't know what he would be bluffing about. It sounds like, as you said, he doesn't care.

You don't need proof, He needs proof by showing a canceled check or a receipt. The carbon won't do it.

I guess what I am trying to say is why would you want to go in front of a Judge if you really didn't pay the rent? The other tenant told me he just had his car re-poed from the property...

You will not be getting any money from this person due to his own free will. You need to stop considering what he is thinking and proceed to eviction today. If I were you I would hire an attorney as your goal is to remove him from the property as soon as possible. Perhaps finding an attorney that works for a flat fee would be a good idea. Why have you allowed this person to stay for free all this time? Stop doing that.

He owes 2 months rent and late fees. Everytime I got on him for the rent he came back at me and said he was sueing me for harassment. My attorney told me it wasn't worth it to evict with the time left, just keep the security... I am into the attorney for 1200.00 already. I am so angry and upset with this guy. Then the other tenant called me to say he isn't paying his half on the utilities...

The tenant is counting on getting another month or two in free rent before he takes off. Once the eviction is filed, continue with the action even though the tenant moves out. This gives you possession and wrecks the tenant's credit for life.

Will a Judge grant me Attorney fees. I hand wrote in the lease if tenancy ever should come to eviction the tenant would be responsible.

The easiest and probably most accurate reason is that your tenant is trying to buy time in the rental for free. He can stay there until the judge grants you possession and the sheriff comes to kick him out. That could be around a month to two months time depending on when the court date is scheduled and how soon the sheriff's schedule allows him to come out.
