Tenant not paying since purchase date

Jaimin Patel
Posted

First-time poster and long long-time reader. Appreciate everyone's efforts in helping others! 

QUESTION: I purchased a home in November 2020 from the seller that showed the tenant was there for 2 years and paying on time. They supplied a rent roll from the property management company. Unfortunately, soon as we took over the tenant claimed they did not have a lease with us nor did they have to pay because of covid. So fast forward to today, she has been staying in the home free and clear from November to April with no intentions of leaving. We filed an eviction with Fulton County (Atlanta, GA) court but haven't received a court date still. (It's been a month now) We filed with no payback on rent required just eviction due to holding premise beyond the term. Still waiting on court systems probably be waiting for a while. We tried to offer her CASH. 3,000 if she moved on the 1st 2,000 if she moved on the 15th etc, but no bites. She mentioned she would look for a family member to stay with but that went nowhere. 

Can anyone please please recommend anything I can do to reclaim the property?
