Q: I rent commercial property, and I would like to know where I can take my rent money to be held until repairs are made.
the air conditioner is not working I have tried to have it fix but it is not a minor repair, this the landlord should have repaired but he doesn't want to talk about it. And I'm afraid that if I keep paying him he will not fix it. and if I do not pay he will threaten to evict me and kick me out. What can I do here in this situation.. Help Please.
A: It sounds like you are in a business arrangement. I have always advised folks that if they are going to be in business, then BE in business. By this I mean that what you are doing here is a business matter. Because this situation involves too many moving parts, it cannot be adequately addressed here. To BE in business simply means that you need to have an attorney represent the business in this matter. If it is a corporation, GA law requires that all corporations be represented only by attorneys. If your business is a serious one, treat it with respect. An attorney could probably help you fairly quickly in this matter.
