Tenant Rights In Georgia

allison

My husband and I live in atlanta georgia. We are renters in a condominium complex for 4 years. All condo are owned by individuals and a few are rented. We received a shocking email from our owners yesterday in which he received from the attorney for our complex. The letter makes a terrible accusation of my husband and how he has put our community in danger and the letter demands our landlord to terminate any lease with us. I need to write our landlord to acknowledge we received his email. but we are devistated. This has been done without any questioning of me or my husband. I dont believe we have any rights because we are renters. I am going to attach the letter:

Dear Neeraj and Satish Basandr: This firm represents Element Condominium Association, Inc. (the "Association"). As you probably are aware, one of your tenant, Mr. David Hird, was recently involved in an incident which involved the alleged theft of a motorcycle, which ended up with gunshots being fired in the parking facilities of Condominium. Specifically, on Saturday, September *, *, the Association's video surveillance system shows Mr. Hird driving a van to the top floor of the parking deck. The video then shows Mr. Hird unloading a motorcycle from the rear portion of the van. Shortly thereafter, an individual dressed in all black, who we assume was the owner of the motorcycle confronted Mr. Hird and his associate. The gentleman then began firing his weapon toward Mr. Hird's associate. Multiple vehicles were damaged during this incident. The resulting violence constitutes a violation of the Declaration of Condominium for Element, a Condominium.

The Board of Directors has consulted with this firm regarding these incidents. As the Association's counsel, I have advised the Board that, due to the potentially catastrophic consequences and the massive liability that could result, the Association must make a very swift and hard-edged response, to the serious violations committed by your tenant and his guest. The Condominium's property is managed by the Association, and as such, the Association owes a duty to its members to exercise ordinary care to keep property in a safe condition. Such duty includes taking active measures to * WINDWARD PARKWAY, SUITE *, ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA * TELEPHONE *-*-* FACSIMILE *-*-* www.luederlaw.com Neeraj and Satish Basandr October *, * Page * of * assist in the prevention of foreseeable acts of third-parties, such as those of David Hird and his guests.
