One of the biggest mistakes we see during a landlord-tenant dispute involves a tenant's failure to pay rent because of the landlord's failure to make repairs.

The landlord's failure to make repairs does not eliminate the tenant's duty to pay rent.

First, you may sue for damages. Another solution is to do the repairs yourself - or have someone else do them. You can then subtract the cost of the repairs from the next month’s rent. Please consult an attorney before you “repair and deduct”.

The eviction process can vary depending on the county and the circumstances, so it's essential to familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations.

Here are the general steps involved in the eviction process in Georgia:

1) Review the lease agreement
2) Provide written notice
3) File an eviction lawsuit
4) Serve the tenant with the eviction lawsuit
5) Attend the court hearing
6) Enforce the eviction order if granted the writ of possession
7) Recover possession of the property

It's crucial to familiarize yourself with the specific laws and procedures in your county to ensure you follow the correct steps and comply with all legal requirements. Consider consulting with an attorney to guide you through the process and protect your rights as a landlord.

Please keep in mind that this information is not legal advice, and it's always recommended to consult with a qualified attorney or local housing authority for specific guidance related to your situation

Having good controls in place is a key ingredient to good Fraud Risk Management policies.

Make it a practice to check the actual “email address” of the sender. Not the part that shows up in your inbox.

Make it a practice not to click on any links on the first read of an email.

Make sure to block users you suspect of phishing so that address doesn’t catch you the next go round. Because there will be a next go around
