Hi I am from Georgia i have a statement to make and would like to have a response to it
WE rented a house that my brother-inlaw moved out of in october
we have no contract and the landlord is already trying to evict us
the rent is due the 1st of the month all of our rent reciepts are dated 10-01-01.......11-01-01........12-01-01.........we were 3 days late in november and was charged a late fee and now in december we were late 4 days but we talked to the caretaker not the owner(which by the way i have no idea who it is)and he said it would be ok to pay on the 5th.when we paid him on the 5th as promised he gave us our rent reciept and an eviction notice to vacate in 30 days i read the Ga. Law and it requires 60 days notice to a tenant at will , i feel we are being evicted unfairly
since he agreed to take the payment on the 5th.he said the owner wanted us out because she was afraid we would get behind on rent and not pay her........so in closing is there any advice on how i can keep my house legally........and should i seek a lawyer (would it be worth my time?)
