For Landlords
You want rent paid on time, properties respected, and the law on your side.
We help you:
- Create strong leases that hold up in court
- Enforce your rights without overstepping

- Recover unpaid rent and property damage
- Avoid lawsuits before they start
Whether you own one rental house or a whole strip mall, we help you stay protected—and profitable.
For Tenants
You have rights. And you deserve to be treated fairly.
We help you:
- Understand lease terms before you sign
- Negotiate fair conditions
- Fight illegal evictions
- Make sure landlords keep the place safe and livable
- Recover security deposits
- Push back if a landlord crosses the line
Whether you’re renting a storefront or a studio apartment, we’ve got your back.
Residential and Commercial
Residential leases come with strict rules. There are timelines to follow. Habitable conditions to meet. Notices that have to be exact. One wrong move can lose your case.
Commercial leases are all about the fine print. There’s more money at stake, and more to negotiate. You want a lawyer who knows how to read between the lines—and write them too.
We handle both. Every day.
Evictions: Know the Rules
Georgia law spells out how evictions work. If you don’t follow the process, you’ll lose—even if you’re right.
We guide clients through:
- Demand letters and notice requirements
- Filing eviction actions (dispossessory proceedings)
- Defending against unlawful evictions
- Court hearings and settlements
- Writs of possession
- Appeals
We’ve handled evictions from both sides. We don’t bluff. We bring receipts.
Creative Lease Work
Some deals don’t fit the mold. That’s fine—we’ve done:
- Month-to-month setups
- Rent-to-own contracts
- Commercial pop-up shop leases
- Long-term retail space deals
- Live/work spaces
- Industrial leases with unique use provisions
If it’s not cookie-cutter, it’s right up our alley.
Tense Situations, Cool Heads
We step in when:
- A tenant is locked out without a court order
- A landlord is accused of harassment
- A business tenant is stuck in a COVID-era lease
- Rent is months behind, but an eviction would trigger bigger problems
- A lease has no clear end date
Every case is different. But one thing stays the same: Evans Law knows how to handle the heat.
Fast Action, Smart Strategy
When landlord-tenant issues blow up, you need more than someone who knows the law. You need someone who can:
- Calm things down
