Tenant/Landlord Legal Disputes Here in the U.S.A.? Here is a Simple Solution for Winning!

It's ironic, but my worst subject all through school was English composition? Until later on in my years of family life. "My rich and disoriented and often times provocative "weird" landlord really made me mad one day!" Apparently, this 68 year old senior citizen widowed hateful old man new all the rules and "Tricks?" of being an expert regarding tenant/landlord rental state laws properties here in the state of Georgia, U.S.A. from years of his wealthy experience.

"He was a horrible and exorbitant landlord old man!" that anyone could possibly imagine or fathom to rent from, simply because he was a life long wealthy trained expert in the tenant/landlord real estate laws here in the state of Georgia., or anywhere here in the U.S.A. and knew exactly how to enforce laws at all times regarding the demure and poor Ga. tenants over his years of making money through his real estate wealth, which was slowly declining because of his sardonic and money making attitude towards his paid and reliable monthly rental tenants.

This un-cleaned and elderly unshaven landlord would fortuitously show up "out of nowhere?" at our rental property doorstep. Without any notice, obviously thinking that my wife and I were to obtuse (stupid) and somewhat illiterate at the time to challenge him in anyway of a legal battle or future deployment? "What was he thinking at the time?" (This "weird" and ironic true story continues within fallacy to all readers of this article).

"This particular landlord was crazy!" He would show up and NOT even knock on the door, but immediately come inside of our home without any verbal or written notice at anytime and say "I am sorry, was I disturbing you?" without any care or legality whatsoever, (although we always paid the rent on time each month). "Stomp throughout our home without no care!" I had to hold back my timid and peaceful behavior just from NOT hitting this rude and older intruder landlord?

Because of his austere and bumptious attitude towards my wife and I during my early twenties every week. We finally decided to go the public library and research tenant/landlord laws here in the state of Georgia. "We were right!" This guy had NO legal right to impose on the privacy of our home without some kind notice, whether it be a legal writing or just over the phone, provided that you are under a standard Ga. lease agreement, which we were at the time. (The attorneys at the time wanted too much money to do something about this dreadful landlord rental issue, which we could not afford).

You are probably thinking at this time? "Call the police and have this intruder landlord arrested? "NOT a good idea!" Because he or she is intruding into your home?" This does NOT unfortunately work? Your word is against his or her explanation, simply because they will tell the local authorities they have called you and made arrangements to enter your rental home at his particular time, without using a key and also because ironically they are the legal owners of this property, showing a lease agreement or property deed to the local police, which they will not read in full detail.

In my early days in life, I was working as a printer and printed up thousands of legal contracts for attorneys here in the Atlanta, Ga. area on a daily basis. I simply read their contracts and learned the legal terms stated versus the terms listed in the landlord/tenant agreements noted in the library reference books. These particular books taught me the use of U.S.A "Certified Mail" which all attorneys use. "I finally had a brain fart?" "How can I get this terrible landlord back without using violence against him?"

I had never personally written anything legal that could be used in court in front of a jury. However, at the time "I was really mad and upset because of his un-professional illegal behavior?. Causing my wife and I both pain each week. Fortunately, by following the rules and guidelines of the reference books at the local library, I finally sent this "flippant and hateful" landlord a simple letter via U.S. certified mail telling him to give us a notice of his appearance on our property and make the repairs we have requested verbally.

It was a simple, but legal letter. Written and given the de facto meaning of our lease agreement, (which he always seemed to overlook without any care because he was "Rich" and wealthy. His time and place of life had absolutely NO monetary value, especially after his long time wife had died two years earlier. The only thing he seemed to care about was resentment and hatred for all of his Ga. tenants and he somehow used this bad vice against them everyday making his daily property rounds in his life).

"Amazingly!" and apparently after receiving/reading this simple explained certified letter by our illegal landlord, he seemed to change his attitude towards my wife and I. :"Never showed up on our property or un-annouced" and even fixed the problems on our property. Simply, because I had sent a simple letter which can be legally shown in front of a jury trial or judge in a court of law. "What was even more amazing later on in our lives as tenants" Was the fact that he actually talked to me and my wife like we were human beings while making progress on our property?

The moral of this story is always to send your landlord everything in legal writing. No matter what it is? Forget about verbal notices that you have talked about over the phone and or in person and even always make copies of everything you write that can be shown or discussed in front of a jury or judge in a court of law. "Any verbal agreement between you and your landlord is always invalid in the court room". Even if your landlord thinks he or she is the epitome of this legal subject.

This elderly landlord was the biggest "Jerk" you would ever meet in life. However, seemed to understand the meaning of 12 jury daily people if this incident were to ever go to court upon a final ruling. My theory is? Even if you presented this case in small claims court, the judge would always listen and observe the facts in writing. "Who knows, you might just win your case in court!"
