So you go into court evicting an old lady, in the winter because you wanted to increase rent by over two times current rent.

So yesterday I went down to the court house and asked for probate files.

(Haven't had to present it in court before, but I am sure a judge wouldn't complain about the additional documentation.)

Contact the president directly to gain an understanding of how rentals are viewed.A quick note on what made up the condo......Condo Assoc Declarations and Bylaws were crafted by the developer before one person bought a unit.

It's possible but you can't hide from the courts. 

On one hand, the Georgia Landlord/Tenant handbook indicates if LL accepts partial payment for a month, he cannot file for eviction (or might not get eviction judgment) for THAT MONTH  - but can sue in small claims court for remaining rent. 

As far as damages once she is out, then from security deposit you would take damages, rent owed, court costs, ect.. and you may have to file another small claims court action to get that money if the amount exceeds her deposit. 

If you have to go to eviction court, because you did not receive the tenant's portion,  you cannot apply late fees to sect 8 tenants in eviction court. 

@Sean Peters I think your attorney friend is your best resource in this, but if your tenant has an option to renew that's a part of his lease, I think you have no choice but to honor it - unless you evict for breach of contract.I suspect that if you do not evict and then raised the rent beyond what the contract allowed, a court would find you in breach of contract.If you do evict, be sure that you have your documentation complete right down to the letter.  

In countless tax court cases the IRS has ruled against people trying to claim RE pro who work a normal full time job.
