The Georgia eviction process — named, then run
The eviction process in Georgia is demand, dispossessory, service, hearing, judgment, writ, then setout. EvictIQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We run that sequence as operations. Licensed attorneys in our attorney network are coordinated when the file requires counsel. Courts set their own schedules.
Tell us where you are in the process
Nothing filed, demand out, on the docket, or writ in hand. The next step depends on that.

The sequence, without a loophole
How to evict is the sibling page for owners who want steps. Eviction process is the name of the path. Law for eviction is the same sequence from a legal-language search. All three refuse self-help. All three convert to intake.
When you need this
Use this when you want the Georgia eviction process named and started. If you already know the stage, jump to demand for possession, dispossessory, process server, or setout.
The next step
Send the county and stage. A coordinator tells you the next paper and whether licensed counsel in our attorney network is required. Timelines are typical operational ranges, not guarantees.
