Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Georgia - Tenant/landlord regulations: Below is the Notice to Vacate (please scroll down) I got from the landlord. I must mention that rent is not passed due, everything is current as of May 1, 2012, next payment will be June 1, 2012. This is a monht-to-month rental and verbal agreement. It appears that the landlord is claiming breach of agreement by not paying the rent, maybe I am reading it wrong or it is poorly written, who knows!!!!!!. I could not really say based on what it says or the way the notice is written!!!!!!!!!!
Is there anything wrong/right about this notice? Since the rent is current, is there any other basis for the landlord to request to vacate the premises based on what it is written on the notice?
"Notice to Vacate
Date: April 7, 2012
To: My name
To the above tenant and all others now in possession of the described premises (not description of premises provided). You are hereby requested to quit vacate and deliver possession thereof the undersigned. On or before this notice to vacate is due to your following breach of tenancy should you fail, refuse or neglect to pay your rent cure the breach, or vacate said, premises within 60 days from services of this notice, I will take such legal action as the law requires to evict you from the premises.
You are to further understand, that we shall in all instances hold, you responsible for all present and future rents due, tenancy agreement at Ga law
Thanks for your cooperation
Sincerely,
Name of the acting landlord"

The answer didn't change from the last time you posted. The law is the same as it was yesterday. You need to move. You have one day less than when you last asked.
If you wanted a long term lease, you should have looked for a place willing to give you that. You have no lease and you have no right to stay there as long as you want, which appears to be what you want or think you have. You can honor your agreement (month to month) or you can face an eviction proceeding that, even if you somehow did not lose, would be on public records for all future prospective landlords (and employers, etc.) to see.
