The Small Landlord's Guide to Evicting a Non-Paying Tenant in Atlanta
A practical, non-legal walkthrough for Atlanta landlords with 1–50 units — what to do first, what to skip, and how to close out the tenancy without hiring an attorney.
For law firms and property managers overseeing Atlanta rental portfolios, a connected dispossessory workflow links notice, filing, service, court administration and physical possession.
Step 1: Send a proper demand for rent
Georgia requires a demand for rent before you can file. It can be written or verbal, but written and dated is always safer. Our Demand Letter service handles this for $125.
Step 2: File the dispossessory
Coordinate filing authority and representation requirements with your counsel. Same-day filing is available in Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Henry, Rockdale, Fayette, Cherokee, and Chatham counties.
Step 3: Court
Full-service means you don't appear — we handle the hearing, the writ, and coordination with the set-out crew.
Step 4: Schedule the set-out — don't wait for the county
County backlogs are the #1 cost in a dispossessory case. Expedited+ set-out crews are typically scheduled within 2 weeks after court.
