Eviction company name

[Don Chambers]

I have recently bought several rental properties from a friend. He only had a few but I have 16. I am now managing these all under my company. When the leases come up for renewal I renew then with my company lease.

Now I have a tenant that I must evict. I have already filed for the eviction under my company name but then I realized that the tenant is still under the lease from the old company (my friend's company).

Our agreement was that I would take over all the duties of the houses. He is finished with them. The leases were assigned to me - I bought them. 

Is there a document I need to bring to court to explain why I filled eviction under a different name than that on the lease? (I am in Georgia)

In my state you must be the owner or full-time employee of the property management company in order to represent it in court. I could not file under his company name and go to court.
