My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Georgia. My sister and I were served an eviction notice and we have a hearing in Magistrate court scheduled for October 19, 2016. We have lived in the mobile home since December 1st, 2015 and maintained a current lease on the lot with the owners of the mobile home park since then. We purchased the home from the Plaintiff on February 28th, 2016. Paid him in cash and he gave us the signed title and skipped town without giving us a receipt. We have been unable to locate him since 2-28-15. All of a sudden he has filed an eviction notice on us stating we owe him over five thousand dollars in back rent when we never had a conversation about renting, nor did we sign any kind of rental agreement with Plaintiff. There were two witnesses of the cash sale in person. Plaintiff has never had a lease agreement on the home for the rented lot. Also, our lease agreement with the park owner states that anyone wishing to sub-lease a homer in the park must have written consent from the park owner, which Plaintiff does not have. What is my best line of defense in court to prove ownership? We filed statements with the clerk of court denying we owe plaintiff any money and why. Please help??? We have made many improvements to the home.
