How an eviction works in DeKalb County

Every Georgia dispossessory follows the same legal path — ETFM handles each step so you don't have to learn it. ETFM and our legal team manage the process on your behalf.

1

Demand letter

Georgia law (OCGA §44-7-50, as amended by the 2024 Safe at Home Act) requires a proper written demand before filing. ETFM drafts, serves, and documents it correctly — the step where many DIY cases get dismissed.

2

File the dispossessory

ETFM files the dispossessory in the Magistrate Court of DeKalb County — where the property physically sits — and handles all the paperwork.

3

Answer & hearing

The tenant has a window to answer. ETFM tracks every deadline and moves the case forward whether the tenant answers or not.

4

Writ & set-out

When you're entitled to possession, ETFM files the writ of possession and coordinates the set-out with the marshal — start to finish.

DeKalb tends to move at a steady pace — cases commonly reach resolution in about 30 days, with set-outs typically completed within a few weeks.
