Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

Even though we have paid our rent on time for more than a year, as well as the water and gas bills which the landlord insisted in keeping in their names, our landlords said they want us to move & have given us just 30 days, as of Sept. 1, 2011. In order to rush us out, yesterday they had the gas turned off. What are our legal rights & how do we get help?

You left out the most important detail - the terms of your lease. No one here has it. The landlord likely acted improperly in having the gas turned off, but to resolve the overall dispute the lease controls.

Gather all of your pertinent documents (rent and utility receipts, lease) and employ a lawyer to review them. If you are financially able to do that, Atlanta Legal Aid may be able to provide some guidance.
