Clearly, you have much going on here. We will never be able to address your concerns because everything depends on...well, everything else. You are in need of legal counsel fast. You really needed an attorney long ago before all this happened. Get one now.

Since you already have an attorney, we cannot provide any advice for you. You should speak with your attorney regarding your questions here. Your attorney is the only attorney that knows what is actually going on from a legal standpoint.

The law doesn't require it, but the lease might. Always look to your lease. If it isn't there, it will probably not be something you need to worry about. Most of the time.

Your new manager may be correct. Make sure that you are reading the 2021 version of the OFFICIAL CODE OF GEORGIA ANNOTATED. If you remain uncertain after reading the newest language, you should probably meet with a business law attorney who can assist you in understanding your legal obligations.

It's "random" in the sense that it was conducted unannounced in advance. You did not tell us what your brother's result should have been. If he didn't refuse, he must have participated in the screen. If he participated, then what was his result?

Retain an attorney and discuss the situation first. If the attorney believes you have a viable claim, you would file with the court papers seeking custody. Please don't try to do this without legal counsel. There are a number of issues involved.
Can my cousin legally give my dog away. He pays for the food and has for the past 6 months and I rarely have a chance to visit my dog. He can't take care of it any more and I can't take it with me. I have no one else who will watch it. I don't want to lose my dog tho.
answered on Sep 27, 2021
I completely agree with Mr. Schiffer. Of course, the "down and skinny" question would be "Where else is the dog going to go?"

Pay them or lose the property at a tax sale. A partition is not a bad idea, but it might do more than what you are wanting. Meet with an attorney to discuss.
