Knowledgeable About Georgia Landlord-Tenant Laws
Many aspects of the landlord-tenant are closely regulated under Georgia law. In some cases, the laws of specific municipalities place additional requirements and restrictions. Our attorneys are experienced at assisting landlords and tenants with matters including:
- Eviction: The unlawful detainer (eviction) process in Georgia is complex, presenting difficulties for both landlords and tenants. Our attorneys are highly familiar with what needs to be done to effectively represent clients in eviction cases.
- Lease disputes: A lease is a contract, but unique state and local laws govern how this type of contract is enforced and may invalidate certain terms. If you are involved in a lease dispute, you will want a lawyer who understands landlord-tenant law.
- Premises liability: In some cases, landlords and their insurance companies can be held liable under personal injury law for injuries caused by their failure to maintain their premises.
Experienced With Many Approaches to Dispute Resolution
Because Georgia landlord-tenant law is so complex, it can be time-consuming to resolve disputes through litigation. As a result, many landlord-tenant disputes are ultimately resolved through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation.
Attorney William P. Churchill, III, has been certified as a mediator through the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution since 1997, so he has a well-rounded perspective on different approaches to resolving disputes. To discuss how we can help you, please request a free initial consultation.
