Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

Lease Purhcase Agreement

my lessee is suing me in superior court over repairs he has made the past 5 years under a lease purchase agreement. I recently won a judgement in magistrate court to have him evicted and I didn't have to pay him any of his allegations. my question is, i want to submit a motion to dismiss and answer his claim. is there any chance that this frivolous suit can be thrown out before it ever goes to court?

Re: Lease Purhcase Agreement

It seems like you would have a good chance of having the suit dismissed under the principles of res judicata and/or collateral estoppel due to the previous suit in magistrate court. Have a local landlord-tenant attorney review the current and previous suits and relevant facts to determine how best to respond to the current law suit.
