Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

I did live with someone that originally singed a lease on the property and they moved out about 3 months ago and I stayed at the residence, which was fine with the landlord.Now he wants me to move out,and the reason he wants me to move out is because he said they don't want a single male living here,which is me. And I think that's discrimination. Anyway I was told that that's just what it is, and I was wondering if there is anything I can do about this. I haven't said anything to the landlord about this yet.Thanks!!

Do about what? You failed to mention the lease or contract you have that allows you to stay longer (beyond the required notice period)? Every preference of a landlord can be "discrimination," but it does not somehow mean a tenant can stay indefinitely when they otherwise have no legal or contractual right to do so.
