    Default Rights of Subtenants Who Can't Afford Rent

    State - Georgia

    Property is leased by one individual - but property has two homes on it. 2nd home is occupied by lessee's brother and friend, but there is no formal lease or rent agreement, except as verbally agreed. Brother & friend split their share of $650 'agreement' which goes to older brother to help him pay the rent on the property. The 2 dudes can't make rent and are having trouble keeping up - older brother threatening "pay in 2 days or get out!" What rights do the 2 dudes have, and what process must older brother or landlord follow?
    Thanks

    Default Re: What's the rule, here?

    the person with the lease is renting the other home to the bro and friend therefore he is the LL for bro and friend.

    as LL he is obligated to abide by the landlord/tenant laws of Georgia.

    older brother is in control of the situation and his LL has no standing in this as long as what older bro is doing is acceptable per his lease with his LL.

    google "georgia landlord tenant" to find the applicable laws on how much notice older bro must provide and what actions beyond that are available to him.
