Flat-fee help for Georgia landlords who need a tenant out — a licensed attorney prepares your demand for possession, files the dispossessory affidavit with the Magistrate Court, and pursues a writ of possession if the tenant doesn't answer. Choose the option that fits below.

North Georgia Evictions, a service of The Delashmit Firm LLC, prepares your dispossessory case at a flat, published fee, so you know the cost before you start. Georgia's eviction process — legally called a "dispossessory proceeding" — moves fast once it's filed, but only if the demand, affidavit, and service are handled correctly the first time.
Landlords and property owners anywhere in North Georgia with a tenant who hasn't paid rent, has stayed past the end of the lease, or has broken a term of the lease agreement. It doesn't matter whether you own one rental house or a portfolio of units — the dispossessory process and the flat fee are the same.
The process starts with a demand for possession, then moves to a Dispossessory Affidavit filed with the Magistrate Court in the county where the property sits. Once the tenant is served, the clock starts: Georgia law gives the tenant 7 calendar days from the date of service — not the filing date — to file a written answer. If no answer is filed in that window, the case is uncontested and we can seek a writ of possession on your behalf. If the tenant does answer, the case becomes contested and a hearing is required before a writ can issue.
The tenant doesn't answer within the 7-day window. Covers the demand for possession, the dispossessory affidavit filing, and the writ of possession request by default.
The tenant files an answer, so a Magistrate Court hearing is required before a writ can issue. Same filing, more work — still a flat fee, never hourly.
You don't choose which tier applies — the tenant's response does. Every filing starts at the $500 uncontested rate; it only moves to $1,200 if the tenant actually answers and a hearing is set.

$500 flat if the tenant does not answer (uncontested) — covering the demand for possession, the dispossessory affidavit filing, and a writ of possession request. If the tenant files an answer and a hearing is required, the matter moves to a $1,200 flat fee instead. Either way, it's a flat fee — never hourly. Court filing and service costs, if any, are separate.
After the tenant is served with the dispossessory affidavit, they have 7 calendar days from the date of service to file a written answer. If no answer is filed, the landlord can seek a writ of possession by default. Contested cases take longer because a hearing is required.
Georgia law does not always require a written demand before filing, but it creates a paper trail that helps if the case is contested. We send one as a matter of practice before the dispossessory affidavit is filed.
A case is uncontested if the tenant does not file a written answer within 7 calendar days of being served — the landlord can then seek a writ of possession by default. A case becomes contested the moment the tenant files an answer, which requires a Magistrate Court hearing before a writ can issue.
A dispossessory affidavit is filed in Magistrate Court in the county where the rental property is located.
