Right for Eviction in Georgia
My question involves an eviction in the state of: Georgia. We have been leasing a home for 10 months. We have never been late on rent. This morning, I recieved a call from my landlord saying she was giving me a 7 day eviction notice. She tried this before back in July of 2011. She had left her belongings in the garage of the home we leased as well as leaving her 2 dogs in the fenced in back yard for 3 months. After we finally made her remove them, she informed us that she planned to sell the home and wanted us out in 7 days time. She then changed her mind and decided she wanted us to buy the home. Now she has changed her mind again and says she plans to go before a judge and a judge has already told her we would have to be out within 7 days of recieving papers. She says the grounds are that we refused to allow the home to be shown. We have only asked for 24 hr notice. Is this possible to make a family of 6 who has never been late on rent, move in 7 days time? I have 4 small kids and cannot possibly do this.
Re: Right for Eviction in Georgia
The notice is the first step in the eviction process. If you do not move per the notice, your landlord has to file an eviction action in court. If she does that, you can present as a defense your compliance with the lease and that a day's notice before showings is not an unreasonable request.
Does the lease include language pertaining to the landlord's entry to show the unit to prospective tenants or buyers of the real estate? If so, what does the lease provision say?
