Georgia Fulton County Eviction process

[Andrew Kim]

I’m a homeowner and have a tenant that is on a 6 month lease.  He's 21 days late on rent, and from everything I gather, he's going to screw me over in the end.  If I give him a notice of eviction and start an eviction on him through the courts and he pays up to date, does that cancel the eviction? I really want this guy out of my house. I don't feel safe with him here. 

Also, how fast can I get him out of here? I've heard and read GA law is 2 months, but my investor friend told me it could be a week or two.  Should I serve him just a notice of eviction as a threat, that way he avoids eviction on his record and I can get him out quickly?  I think he has a sister he can stay with.  Or friends from work.  Thanks for your input!
