    Default How to Evict for Nonpayment or Selling Pot

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: Georgia

    I have a renter who is several months behind on their rent. They have given me many sob stories but my patience has run out. I just learned today that the delinquent renter tried to sell pot to a tenant in another one of my properties. My responsible tenant is willing to give a statement to the police.

    At this point I want them out as quick as possible. What is my best course of action to get them out of the property. Call the cops then eviction notice, eviction notice then call the cops, ignore the cops, or something else.

    Thanks

    You don't need a reason beyond nonpayment of rent, and it's unclear why you'd let them get several months behind. I'd not complicate matters by involving the pot and the other tenant (if that tenant wants to call the police, fine).

    I'd file the dispossessory action with the magistrate court, but we can't know how you define "best". Evidently, you don't need to send them a notice to pay up or get out before you do this in GA, but you'll want to check.
