Hi my tenant skipped town in the last couple days without notice and hasnt paid rent. In georgia the landlord tenant laws seem to say i can go to court and charge them for the remainder of their lease....

also i am not in town so do i need to get a attorney? Or should i wait till i get back in a month?

also, obviously ill win but how do i get the money....garnish wages? I dont know wherr he works....

i can get the summons to court sent to his parents house which is the addrrss on his drivers license..


Somebody in georgia must have dealt with this before....please advise.

Why is it so unfair for us landlords? This is complete BS. They should get a mark on their records and be forced to garnish wages
