State Specific Question About: GEORGIA (GA)

I have a non paying tenant a 3 day pay or quit on Tuesday and they are moving out today. They owe me $920 back rent and late fees. I don't know yet the cost of the damages.

What is the best way to go after them to get my money in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The husband is employed.

Please advise --68.217.x.xxx

Small claims court usually works for most of us. Give it a try. --74.51.xxx.xx

In Georgia, Civil/Magistrate Court (our version of Small Claims) handles cases involving damages up to $15,000.

Make certain you get these tenants new address (say you need it in regards to their security deposit) so they can be served notice should you file against them.
