That would not work on a form.. Hire an attorney to file suit. A Civil Warrant in GS might work but will still need a good cause of action and described damages.
Landlord has verified that I was hired for the job.

What is your question? Hire an attorney to represent you as those will be serious drug charges. Subpoena the landlord for the Preliminary Hearing. Might want to get a drug test also to show the DA you are not an addict.

Apparently you have no ownership interest and paying taxes for the owners. It might be possible to dismiss a Detainer Warrant, but you can definitely be ejected from possession.

Was there a Detainer Warrant filed and served/posted? If not, then you have not lost possession unless you voluntarily left. Service/Posting of the Detainer is notice to quit by Statute.

You are not entitled to a deed. But for the landlord to obtain possession, he must file and prosecute a Detainer Warrant. Giving you notice does not put you out of possession.

Unless you have a lease contract for $400 that has not expired nor been violated, then yes, the owner can take possession or require more rent money.

Hire an attorney to file a Detainer Warrant. Do not get in a fight or occupant will get leverage on you. Let lawyer communicate with them.

You could also get post judgment asset discovery... View More
