Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
I received a lawsuit filed by a tenant in one of my rental properties. the tenant is claiming damage to personal items during a sewage back up which was determined to be caused by her pouring large amounts of grease in the pipes. the lawsuit names my property management company as defendant and I am not personally named. Is it my responsibility to answer the claim?

If the management company is the only defendant listed in the complaint, then only it has a legal responsibility to respond.
