Landlord Retaliation Legal Guidance

Summary

In Georgia, retaliatory actions by landlords against tenants exercising their legal rights can be illegal. If a landlord unilaterally terminates a lease or imposes a rent hike without proper notice, it may constitute retaliation. Tenants have rights against unlawful entry, and police involvement without a warrant is questionable. Consulting a local attorney can help navigate these complex issues and protect tenant rights.

I am facing a legal problem in GA whereby a landlord is engaging in retaliatory actions towards me for exercising my rights regarding the lease contract which was agreed upon. The lease has a provision for extension or renegotiation at its final term,I requested the extension,was ignored for three weeks despite follow-ups. The LL subsequently sent out a letter to unilaterally terminate the agreement and told me I had to sign a new lease at a$* rent hike if I wanted to remain. It was sent on the last day of December effective the same day and required a signature and delivery the following day January 1st or move out by Feb 1st. Since Feb 4th eviction warrants have been filed x *, they have all been dismissed and now they are issuing a 60 day moveout
