Dispossessory Filing Support
The dispossessory affidavit is the document the whole case rests on. We prepare it from your ledger and lease, file it, and track it through acceptance.

Eviction filing assistance in Georgia
We prepare and file your dispossessory action in the correct magistrate court, with the correct parties, the correct grounds, and the correct supporting documents — the three things that most often send a filing back.

Start the filing
County and case stage are enough to start. A coordinator comes back the same business day.
What's included
- Verification of owner and agent standing before filing
- Correct court and division selected by property address
- Grounds, amounts and lease terms reconciled against your ledger
- Filing fee handled and receipted back to you
- Case number returned same day the court accepts it
What's not
- Legal advice or representation
- Any guarantee of a filing or hearing date
- Self-help of any kind
- Properties outside Georgia
A filing rejected on a technicality doesn't just cost the fee — it restarts the clock. Most of what we do on this step is making sure the first filing is the only filing.
When you need this
Use this when nothing is filed yet, or a prior filing came back. Georgia dispossessory cases file in the magistrate court of the property's county. Wrong parties, wrong grounds, or a thin ledger is how a filing restarts the clock.
The next step
Send the county and where the case stands. After you approve the written scope, we prepare and file. Lease and ledger move on a secure upload link — not this form. Need the whole pipeline? See Georgia eviction help.
Service area. Georgia only. We file, serve and run setouts across metro Atlanta and surrounding counties — Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Cobb, Clayton, Henry, Cherokee and Hall. If your property is outside Georgia we'll tell you rather than take the lead.

Common questions
Which court do you file in?
The magistrate court of the property's county. We pick the court and division from the address, not from a guess.
Do I need a lawyer to file?
Not for a clean uncontested non-payment case. EvictIQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. If the case needs counsel, we say so.
How fast can you file?
Once you approve the written scope, we prepare and file as soon as the court will accept it. Courts set their own intake hours — we do not guarantee a filing date.
