How Do I Evict a House Guest in Georgia Who Doesn't Pay Rent?
Full Question:
How do I dispossess a person I allowed to stay in my home, that I own for a short time. Now over one year. She has not left when I asked. No rent was ever paid nor asked. She does take care of my dog when I am out of town weekdays. I just was trying to help a person in need. Is she a tenent at will or a trespassor? How to handle?
