Can they do that in Georgia?

[Dee Neal]

I have a client that I am trying to help find a rental. Her issue is that she is fighting with an old landlord. She says she gave notice before breaking her lease. That's not for me to decide. I told her that she needs to clear this up in order for her to be able to rent again.

One thing she told me, which I have never heard of, is that her landlord charged her several astronomical  water and sewer fees each moth after she moved out of the rental.

Is this customary? What can a landlord charge besides court fees and rent if a tenant breaks their lease or are evicted for non payment.

I would tend to believe that your client is not telling you the whole story. 

Tell her to resolve the problem with her old landlord and then have her get back to you.
