Tenant refuses to sign 60 day termination notice

[Daniella Spears]

Help me out BP fam!! I rented my home to a friend(bad idea I know), and it was a pretty laid back agreement..month to month lease..no deposit..cash randomly and not documented properly...etc. In fact, I don"t have the lease, but she is behind, has cats that pee everywhere and smokes and so I tried to talk with her and have her sign a 60 day termination letter, but she refuses to sign it. She says she is not going to be homeless and i have tried to illustrate to her that I just simply can not afford to support her and her family as I am a single momma as well.  What do I do? Can I evict her? What all proof do I need to win this lawsuit?! Do I need to get a lawyer? Any advice is much appreciated!!  I live in Georgia btw.

TIA

She doesn't need to sign anything. Just present her with the papers terminating your month to month rental agreement. If she doesn't leave, then evict her for unlawful detainer.
