What is the name of your state? Georgia
I'll try to do this in a way that isn't confusing...
The landlord, my mother died in July.
She owned a 2 apt duplex next door to her.
Only one apt was occupied at the time of her death.
The tenants choose to withold rent pending a notice stating who was to offically collect the rent.
I (the youngest daughter) was asked to move into the unoccupied apt by one of the executors to manage the property and watch over my mother's home until the house was free to enter.
During the time since my mother's passing one of the 2 executors was pressuring and harrassing the tenants to pay her the rent or move out (she couldn't get an eviction until AFTER the will probates).
In the process of the tenants moving out the left the place a mess and have not gotten all of their possesions out of the apt.
The same executor also had the water cut off to the rental property during this time in an effort to force the tenants to move out or pay up.
Unbeknownist to myself or the other executor she sent the city a notice to turn off the water which they recieved Sept 27th 2005, the water wasn't cutoff until Dec 15th 2005.
The city refuses to return service to the property until the past due account is paid in full whether or not a new account is started in my name.
My questions are:
What are the rights and responsiblities of the executor who turned off the water?
What are my rights as a tenant w/o a lease?
By which procedure can the other apt be reclaimed with the above information?
What should I do to go about reclaiming damages from the executor?
Is there anything else I should know about this given the facts?
TIA
