I lost money because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of learning my local eviction laws and procedures.

@Reya RipetThis is unprofessional advice and also illegal in Georgia and would likely fall under self-help eviction . 2010 Georgia CodeTITLE 44 - PROPERTYCHAPTER 7 - LANDLORD AND TENANTARTICLE 3 - DISPOSSESSORY PROCEEDINGS§ 44-7-50 - Demand for possession; procedure upon a tenant's refusal; concurrent issuance of federal lease termination noticeI agree with other responses to let the court system procedures take care of this .

You don’t have the processes, procedures and knowledge necessary to limit risk2.

It's bad enough that the city proper has 90 distinct neighborhoods, the rest of the county has 100 small municipalities, each with their own procedures and personnel in place.Also great to hear that you found good contractors to work with.

I see these items as poor operating procedures from your PM.

Every law has exceptions and every state's rules of Civil Procedure differ so consultant your lawyer first.

They are licensed and know the procedure.

It seems like the title companies have just got everyone trained to do it that way.I may sound like an amateur here, and I am, but I have completed much more involved legal procedures without the needs of someone holding my hand.

There is an exception if the loan is originated by a licensed lander and certain procedures are followed.

Have policies and procedures establishing how applications are to be reviewed, require an application to be fully completed to be considered.
