Evicting A Tenant With No Lease

[Logan Pourbaix]

Goodevening BP! I’m looking at a deal I got off of direct mail. The property would be a flip but is in terrible shape and apparently has a tenant. When asking the owner about the tenant her story is that he moved in under the agreement to fix up the property and had done the opposite since, all without paying any rent. The current owner says she has tried several times to evict but hasn’t been able to do since the eviction moratorium. 

I called the local magistrate court that handles evictions and she says the governor ruled the moratorium unconstitutional so it has been lifted in the state (GA) as of a few weeks ago. 

What does evicting a tenant with no formal lease look like? Sounds like it be cut & dry but through experience it seems like there a lot of grey area here which usually in turn makes things harder. 

Any advice or pointer are welcome! Thanks
