Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

I have a 21 year old tenant living in my basement apartment. His mother has consistently paid the rent. It is on a tenancy-at-will basis. I have presented him the papers seeking to have him evicted 59 days ago and e-mailed them to his mother as an FYI. She acknowledged receipt of it.

When I file with the court for a hearing, is he the sole tenant or is she, or both?
