I have a business dealing with storage of a niche items.
I just bought the business 2 months ago problem is I’m already having trouble with one of the tenants. I’m in Georgia and going to be trying to evict them. The business just stores items but the previous owners allowed him to live in a rv on the grounds and now he doesn’t want to leave even tho it’s not owned by the previous people anymore. Before my attorney meeting Thursday does anyone have any idea on the process to evicting? This is my first time and it’s kinda a weird situation. Thanks in advance.

The officer(s) will then tell you that there is nothing they can do.\n\nAssuming there is no contract agreement with this person, I would then give them a time frame to leave, and then have the vehicle towed if it is not removed.", "replies": [{"id": "iafa7fz", "text": "That\u2019s what I was thinking. In Georgia you have to give 60 days so I figure write a letter give him the 60 days and tow whatever needed.", "replies": [{"id": "iafgy1h", "text": "Yea, specifics will vary state to state, and even locally. The big issue here is that you are probably not zoned for residential occupancy on that property. Having a \"tenant\"  there is going to put you at risk.\n\nIf that person also rents space there for storage, review the lease, there should be a specific clause in there about camping, overnight stays, etc... If so, they are in violation of their lease and you can probably terminate it. \n\nIf it's just the case to where the prior owner let them do this, you've got a lot better standing to just get them out of there for trespass and squatting.", "replies": [{"id": "iafwzft", "text": "Yeah the previous owners were completely ok with it. I see it as a liability", "replies": [{"id": "iag2ir9", "text": "It is a liability, because you know, illegal.\n\nI see you just got a storage facility and are working on getting things tightened up. At this stage, it might be helpful for you to reach out to your local self storage association (https://www.gassa.org/) to get help and information. There will be a yearly fee, but, you will have access to lease information, local and state laws, and maybe even specific legal advice.", "replies": [], "depth": 5}, {"id": "iag4om2", "text": "Oh, and keep in mind too, not everything has to be a battle. Sometimes the easiest and cheapest route is just to pay some cash to get them to move.", "replies": [{"id": "iag5e1s", "text": "O wow. That\u2019s a great resource. And that might be what happens. I\u2019m going to try to talk to him first he only have till September. Might just end up offering his money back and to leave lol.
