Yeah, there are several videos on YouTube showing where to drill etc. we have restored power and there’s an outlet on the front patio Incase I need to use the corded beast. Hopefully the 18v will do the job.

It’s a brinks branded lock. I generally use schlage, and avoid Kwikset

I’ve got a couple of drills and drill bits, and I know how to use them :) Honestly, I don’t want to put any more money into this eviction than necessary. I’ll check the front windows, I’m sure they’re locked if she went to the extent of changing the locks. I’ll end up drilling out the key holes. Or whip out the saws all. I didn’t know if anyone had a tried and true method for door handle removal.

I have a set out on Thursday at 9:00 am. I stopped by today to check the status of the property and noticed that the tenant has changed the locks on the handle and deadbolt. What is the easiest way to cut or somehow remove the locks without harming the door? Thanks.

Set out is set for Thursday October 26 at 9:00am. This part usually bugs me, but after telling me she’d be out by a certain day and not complying, and the locks being changed, I may enjoy this one

She has unlawfully changed the locks. Now I’ll be driving to the sheriffs office.

I went to my PO box as soon as I got off of the phone with the clerk. I have the writ in hand. I went and purchased another set of locks, I have a box full already, and will be visiting the property as soon as this rain moves out. I always record my evictions on a GoPro, and will be recording my entrance into the property and all rooms entered. I’ll check back in with the state of the property later today. Thanks for the various insights into the situation.

“The landlord owes the tenant no duty to protect the personal property removed from the unit. After the “writ of possession” is executed and the property removed from the rental property, the tenant’s personal property is considered to be abandoned. “ Part of why I love being a landlord in Georgia.

I certainly hope they’re gone, the powers been off for over a month.

Called the magistrate court and they said the writ was mailed out on the 20th. So I should receive that today. I have been through 3 previous evictions in a different county and I’ve always went and scheduled a set out date with the sheriff. The clerk mentioned that if I “need the sheriffs assistance” that I would contact them directly. I’m confused in this situation. If I have the writ can I enter the property if it has items? Can I set them out and change the locks?
