My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Georgia
1st scenario.
Housing owned by employer tenant pays rent but reduced.
Tenant is injured on the job and files workers comp claim immediately being terminated but informed it had nothing to do with claim. After refusing to provide approved doctor list and filing incident report 2 days pass and employee/tenant is served dispossossory summons for late rent when 1) rent wasn't late except an agreed to amount of repair and deduct 2) No prior conversation existed in regards to rent owed or mention of eviction. 3) no written lease 4) when questioned about inflated late rent due, landlord/employer stated late fees and interest even though no contract existed discussing it or legal fees which he also included. 5) recorded telephone conversation where both parties agreed employer stated he served Dispossossory warrant based on tenant''s comments regarding the law in regards to repairs the home needed. In court, the judgement was for landlord and awarded him late rent, interest, and late fees plus added another month rent to total and ordered tenant to be out in 7 days. In this scenario, was this legal and lawful and if not, why? What if any recourse is available?
Scenario #2
Tenant is related to landlord but a defined landlord tenant relationship exists. Tenant informs landlord they have a job offer in another town but wants to continue paying rent and leave residence furnished so on off days from work he can return to his home and have furnished place to stay. Upon taking the job, several months pass but when he returns, the locks are changed, a grandson of the landlord is living there, all of the tenants belongings are either missing, in public storage bldg, or thrown away. When questioned the landlord claimed they would not issue insurance on the home unoccupied so she put grandson in it and then issued tenant a barring notice from property that used to be his home stating he would be arrested for criminal trespass if he returned to that location.
Is this legal unlawful and why or why not? What options are available to tenant?
