Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

My daughter moved in with a lady who owns a condo. Now the lady has asked my daughter to move out after 3 months. My daughter has been in the hospital for 3 weeks and the roommate is saying as of the end of this month if she is not out she will change the locks. There is no formal lease. But it seems my daughter should be given more than 7 days to move out.

Your daughter's landlord cannot legally evict your daughter without first filing a dispossessory action with the local court, which allows your daughter a chance to respond. So, check with the county magistrate court and see if a dispossessory action has been filed. If so, your daughter has/had 7 days to respond to the eviction.
