Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

I lease an apt in my name only, I moved in to a larger apt when my son asked to live with me while he attended a nearby apt, for 18 months with his wife and small son. He agreed to pay the difference in the apt rent, plus his share of utilities, and to share household chores. I am 78 and limited in what I can do. I agreed, at a cost of moving my belongings of 900.00+. My son moved in on 6/29/12. He was not to receive his first Gi bill payment until late Sept and would pay his expenses up to date at that time.

As soon as he moved in the share household chores became a problem, he and his wife lived like pigs, would not clean up behind them selves in the kitchen, after I had done the dishes and gone to bed. They stayed up and allow the baby to stay up all night,

with the lights one, tv and 2 computers and a crying child until 5 am and then slept all day. Never once doing any of the household chores, when I finally asked my son, I was told they were not my personal slaves, and were going to find a place of their own, which they did when his first check came, not paying the 3 month they owed me.

My son had become absive toward me, in both action and speak, I had actually become afraid of the. She is bi-polar, not taking medication. He had been chapter out of the Army for anciety and anger management. And had recently been diaginosed as borderline personality disorger, plus the anger management. He did move taking all his possisons, plus some of mine, I had been advise he could do this with out paying me, also since he did not sign the papers removing them as residents, the only way I could get this corrected, was to go to the expense of an eviction. I had my lock change, although he had left his keys, plus a filty 2 room and bath, complete with cat urine through out and piles and piles of trash for me to remove. Question: does his moving, giving up his keys, etc, not end his residence. I am told that as long as he does not sign the papers, he has the right to request and receive the new keys, which concerns me.

You failed to tell us the important information - who is on the lease. If he is on the lease, the apartment manager will probably give him the keys. You need to resolve this with your son and the manager.
