Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
Roommate collections
how should i go about taking my ex roommate (who owes money for unpaid rent and utilites) to court, and how much notice do you need to break a lease if you are an occupant on someone elses' lease? can my ex roommate just abandon his lease without giving proper notice, and could i collect money for not having enough time to find another roommate?

Re: Roommate collections
Most attorneys, real estate or otherwise, can review a simple lease and discuss your issues. However, legal fees may be better spent on those bills. Your post is less than clear, but if one is not a party to the lease, he may not be entitled to stay there at all if the lessor has already abandoned the apartment.

A real estate attorney will be able to determine what options are open to you, after examining your lease and discussing the nature of your dealings with your roommate and your landlord with you.
