Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

If you were already in the process of evicting your tenant and they left before you could do so, I would continue on with the eviction process. I'm not sure why you were trying to evict in the first place (likely not paying rent), but you can also tell the judge that your tenant has now "abandoned" the rental as well. If you don't continue on with the eviction process, your rommate could come back at a later time and say you stole/sold her items, that you are blocking her from her rightful possessory interest in the property, etc. No reason to take that chance. Make it all nice and official, so if your tenant comes back and tries to make a stink about not being let in, you can call the police and show them the eviction notice. No problems.
