I has a probate case and I was to inherit some cash from sell of property. I also was a co-owner of the property. In the state of Ga. The judge ruled that I had to pay back rent as I was living at the property. The administrator did not inform or notify me to pay rent or vacate , no lease was signed etc.
thanks for all the input, but I am still confused. There was no verbal agreement I co-owned the property. Isn’t it kind of crazy to pay rent on something you partially own. I realize the decision is made I am just trying to understand. I know you all have heard of crooked judges. This is my concern. I thought a person needed to be notified to pay rent or vacate . This probate case went on for 10 years. The administrator failed to do her job. The judge met in private with her to go over the checkbook. I found this out the day this decision was made.
first read your lease… if ther is not one, anything goes…. second, if you lived there you will have to pay for the time you lived there…. just like going to a restrant.. if you ate the food you have to pay.
Well I guess it is legal since the judge ruled against you.
If you had been paying rent and had no lease but a verbal agreement…. Sounds like you’re on the hook.
It has already gone to the courts, so, yes, it was legal.
I doubt the judge would have made the ruling if it was not legal in Georgia.
