Thanks. I already got it done.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Eviction Set Out crew and cleanup in Clayton County Georgia?

@Avery Moore, there are rental scams every day of the week even in my relatively modest sized market. @Chris Seveney, I don't think the poster is just talking about professional squatters but all types of rental fraud.

In my market at any time, I could probably find at least several active advertisements where someone is trying to scam people out of AT LEAST application fees perhaps by requiring they apply before seeing a unit or possibly even move-in money. My last turnover, someone stole my pics and was trying to scam renters in this way.

There are also isolated cases where a vacant house is broken into and rented before the owner knows it. It happened a couple years back around the corner from where I live to a house someone renovated and was about to advertise for rent. By the time he knew it, the illegal tenants had already moved in!

The difficulty from what I see is that these sorts of scams are mostly small and local police are ill equipped to investigate and prosecute especially since most of the criminals are not local.

The best idea I have is for a vetting service renters can use to screen potential rentals/landlords. If offered through a real estate brokerage they could also offer some light representation for a modest fee. Even with real landlords, tenants are often taken advantage of and don't know how to cope.

You were granted a  writ. The sheriff shall give an approx time when he'll be there to toss the criminal out. If the perp is gone and the place is abandoned, it may be nice to let the sheriff know he's not needed. They are busy these days. Then take all the junk to goodwill or whatever refuse station is available.

@Avery Moore well, they aren't supposed to show up for the execution of the Writ.  If they do, the constable/sheriff is just going to instruct them to vacate the property....

Like I said with my experience, he walks through the property see that nobody is there.  i now had possession of the property.  Then, I change the locks and off he goes.  I now have "secured" the property.

I "cleanup / prepare" my property for rental.  The former tenant is long gone.  That's usually how it goes.  Tenants don't normalyl put up a big fight, physical or legal.
