I'm a Georgia resident. I live in Dekalb county specifically. Last week I received a dissposserary(sp?) warrant from the Clerk's office. I contacted my landlord, and she's agreed that if I pay the rent + late fees + court fees the eviction process will stop. However, my landlord has now informed me that since they closed their February books yesterday, I now must pay the February rent, February late fees, and court fees plus March's rent. I have the money to pay for February's rent, late fees, and court fees. I also missed my answer in court because I was under the impression that I would have the funds to pay the rent, late fees, and court fees. So I didn't show in court. I called the Clerk's office, they informed me I have about a week before my stuff ends up on the streets. I have offered to pay February rent, late fees, and court fees, but the landlord says I must pay it all at once now, and won't accept just February and the related fees. The dissposserarry warrent just has February's rent on it. From what I have read, this is my first eviction, and with accordance to GA law, shouldn't the landlord take my check, and allow me to pay March rent when it becomes March?
