I'm under contract for a house I believe may be rented illegally

[Johnathan Kimbrow]

Hi all,

I'm under contract for a house in South GA that I believe may be being rented illegally. The house is expected to close in a few days but I believe the broker may have rented out the house illegally. If title has cleared and the transaction is cleared to close, what should someone do in this case? If the lease is technically illegal, will I be able to evict the tenants once I have legal ownership? Are there GA laws that would apply to this that I should know?

Thanks,

John
