Understanding House Bill 1203: Georgia Eviction Procedures
House Bill 1203 sets forth essential guidelines for property owners looking to reclaim their property from non-compliant tenants in Georgia. After obtaining a writ of possession, property owners must follow legally mandated procedures for tenant removal. HB 1203 outlines tenant rights, owner obligations, and the necessary steps to legally evict tenants while minimizing potential liability.
Key Points of House Bill 1203:
-
Writ of Possession: The landlord must secure a writ of possession from the court, granting them the right to reclaim the property.
-
Tenant Compliance: Tenants must vacate the premises within a specified timeframe. Failure to do so may result in their belongings being considered abandoned.
-
Set-Out Process: This involves coordinating with local authorities for the legal removal of tenants and their belongings.
-
Abandoned Property: Once the set-out is complete, any remaining tenant belongings are generally deemed abandoned and can be disposed of by the landlord.

Will at Local Eviction did an absolutely incredible job. I couldn't have done this eviction without him. He dealt with a completely insane family we had to evict with complete professionalism. I'd recommend Local Eviction to anyone. They are communicative, on time, courteous, and thorough. If you have a tough eviction, talk to Will.
