Georgia Eviction Help -- no rent payment

Phil C.

Hello! This is the first time I need to think about eviction (I haven't been a landlord for that long...) and definitely need some help.

A woman has been renting my condo. She usually has to split payments but was able to come up with the full rent amount in the end. I admit I'm a bit loose on the rules since I'm a mom myself and she's a single mom... But this time it's hard. She's lost her job 3 months ago and her unemployment benefit has ended this month. She hasn't found any job yet. I'm of course worried about how to get the rent. She's only renting month to month at this point. Is it easier to run an eviction? Or use a more polite way by saying I'm considering selling the condo and don't want to rent anymore, and therefore ask her to move out? My lease states there should be a 2-month notice so I'll have to wait a bit before she can move out. But at the same time I'm afraid of going to the court. Would Georgia law protect single moms more?

Any advice? Thanks!!
