Q: How do I serve C T Corporation System in Lawrenceville GA listed as registered agent for property management company?
Property management company currently managing apartment complex in Marietta GA is in violation of tenant lease agreement. Principal address of the business is listed in UT; registered agent is a corporation by the name C T Corporation System in Lawrenceville GA. Gwinnett County sheriff is said to not be able to serve the corporation without a 'company' name. Am I expected to include the name of the property management company with the registered agent name? Or am I expected to locate the company within the C T Corporation System that processes the property management company's affairs?
A: CT Corporation is a company that acts as registered agent for thousands of companies throughout the country. The deputy certainly knows how to serve CT Corp. You are likely drafting your lawsuit pleadings incorrectly. You do not sue CT Corp, you sue the company and serve CT Corp which then gets the lawsuit to the appropriate people. If you want to succeed in your case, you really ought to speak with an attorney before going forward. BEWARE! If you are suing a corporation, the corporation will, by law, be represented by attorneys. If you are pursuing a bad claim or doing it improperly, you will be assessed the corporation's attorney fees and costs. This could be quite expensive depending upon the circumstances. See an attorney first!
