A:
If your lease was renewed by the property manager after the court ordered your eviction, it may change your current situation. The renewal could mean that your tenancy is extended under the new lease terms, potentially pausing the eviction process. However, it's important to confirm the details of the lease renewal in writing to ensure there are no misunderstandings.
Even with the lease renewal, the eviction process might still proceed if there are unresolved issues, such as unpaid rent. The property manager would typically need to follow the legal eviction procedures again if they decide to move forward. This includes providing proper notice and obtaining a new court order if necessary.
To protect your rights, consider reaching out to a local housing attorney or a tenant rights organization in Georgia. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation and help you understand the next steps you should take. Make sure to keep all communication with your property manager documented and stay informed about your lease terms.
