If you have a lease it will likely control the contractual relationship. Thus, if the lease sets a certain rental amount from say April 4, 2021 to April 4, 2022, then the father likely cannot raise the rental amount within those dates. Even if the father attempts to raise the rental amount mid... Read more »
Is there anything I can do to delaying the eviction??
The landlord cannot change the locks on you without filing for an eviction and obtaining a writ of possession.
Once a writ has been obtained, before changing the locks, the items must be placed outside so you can get it.
You should demand a key in writing. If it is denied, you... Read more »

they did not market the house nor did they locate the tenant. I did not sell the house to the tenant or anyone related to the tenant but to an investment company. Are they entitled to this commission payment? Area of question is Atlanta GA
It depends on the terms of the agreement with the management company. Sometimes the agreement will state that they still earn a commission if the house sells within a certain time even if the agreement has been terminated. Have an attorney review the terms and advise of your options.
We are 6 months into the rent-to-own contract and property taxes is not something that was previously mentioned as our responsibility. Additionally, we were only told about it needingnto be paid 4 days before the taxes are due in our respective county.
If it is not in the lease, you don't have to pay.
The best way to shut the conversation down is to ask the landlord where in the lease it requires you to pay taxes.
If he can't point to it, tell him, then you don't have to pay it.
She said if I didn’t have my own well by a certain date she will void the contract and put me out. Can she do that?

Not unless the lease requires it.
If they filed a dispossessory action against you in court, that filing will be on the court records and therefore on your rental history. If an eviction shows up on your record, you should dispute it.
In short, yes.
There is no legal requirement to accept government government to keep you in the house.

Your second paragraph is answered "It depends." The devil is in the wording of the documents.
The first paragraph does not ask a question.
If your question is only one question involving both paragraphs, again the answer would be "It depends."
Sorry. This is not a legal question. You'll have to figure this one out on your own.

Georgia does not have a for cause statute that requires the landlord to renew the lease, except for cause.

Well, if you are an adult and you signed the lease, you are likely to be bound to it. The LL is simply trying to collect the rent for the apartment. It can be from your or someone else.
