If you go to the hearing and lose the case, you can file a de novo appeal to the State or Superior Court, and may ask for a jury trial there. The person(s) filing the eviction must complete a Dispossessory Proceeding form.In Georgia, landlords must provide tenants with written notice before filing for eviction. The type of notice required depends on the reason for eviction. The rationale is based on extremely old Georgia law. Georgia law requires the landlord to demand that you immediately give up possession and vacate. The Magistrate Court has jurisdiction to hear landlord-tenant disputes which includes dispossessory proceedings. "Unlawful detainer", or UD for short, refers to the name of the official court complaint that a landlord makes when they want to evict a tenant. Fill out the forms; Serve the tenant; Attend the trial; Wait for judgment. In that event, the case is transferred to the State Court for trial.
