Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

If it was dismissed without prejudice (which is probably was), you can file. However, if you reached an agreement with the landlord that included a release of your claims, you would be in breach of the agreement.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.

You should already know the answer. One NEVER settles a court case without legal counsel, as the terms of that settlement dictate whetehre you can or cannot sue now. No one here has read what was signed, or what either party filed. So you in fact know (or should know) teh answer and no one here has the information to respond.

Bear in mind that if you sue in a situation where suit is barred, you can be assessed significant damages and attorneys fees for frivolous litigation. So ask the attorney you had in the original case. He will know. We have no way to know.
