Q: I have 2 individuals who rent rooms at my property in Marietta, GA Cobb County, There is no lease. How do I legally
give the notice to vacate premises? It is my understanding that I must give a 60 day notice. If they do not leave at the 60 days do I then have to legally evict? If so, is it best to do a legal eviction right away?
A:
If the tenants are not paying rent, give them a three day pay or quit notice. If they fail to pay rent or vacate, you can file the dispossessory on the 4th day.
If they aren't breaching the lease agreement and you don't have a shorter notice in your lease, you must give 60 days notice if they are month to month tenants.
If you have a lease with an absolute termination date and you don't have an early termination provision, you cannot give them an early notice unless they breach the lease.
