Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Lessor and lessee dispute
A renewal letter of lease agreement was not signed by lessee, as per our original writen contract a month to month tenancy exists with all the terms and conditions in effect. The lessee gave no writen notice of vacating but did give a 15 day verbal notice. Terms of contract state a 45 day written notice. Also, the dwelling was not left in a ''good state'' of condition. They indicated they did not want their deposit back, but would not pay us any more money. They moved out & called to Jan 1 to tell us where the keys are located which we have collected. Are we are entitled to 1 more months rent? We will need about $450 to repair & clean the house. Since the contract says 'written notice' can we hold them to it?

Re: Lessor and lessee dispute
You would be entitled to any damages suffered due to the tenants leaving early. This would include the one month's rent assuming you tried and could not re-rent it.
