need help to do eviction. 1st time

[Alba Cheung]

Do I need to hire an attorney to evict my tenant who, is a single mother with 2 high school kids? she paid rent late every month since she moved in Dec 2023. And she refused to pay the late fees.  How long will it take to evict this kind of tenant? is going to be completed in Alpharetta, Fulton County? Do I need to hire an attorney? I can do it on my own.  Thanks

 OF COURSE!!!!! ALSO, your evicting over a late fee of 50 bux, WHY ?? RE is nothing but math. Ok so let's do it ,Evict, 2- 3 months no rent maybe more.  Now you need to do a rental turn, assume 5kish, , so you just lost 10kish or more,  over 50 bux a month, NOT smart.  HIRE A PM CO ASAP

All the best
