Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

Re: eviction for non-payment of rent

There is sometimes a fine line between a invitee/guest and a tenant, but it sounds like they were tenants because of the payment. As such and because no term of tenancy was set, you need to give them 60 days' notice to vacate the property. If they do not leave the property after the 60 days, then you will have to initiate dispossessory proceedings (eviction) in magistrate court (small claims court).

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
