VerifiedHello JACUSTOMER,
Anyone who occupies rental property with the landlord`s consent and makes rent payments without a written lease is called a tenant-at-will. Under Georgia law a landlord (or the leaseholder) who has a tenant-at-will must give sixty (60) days notice to the tenant before seeking to terminate the agreement or change any term of the original agreement (Georgia Code Section 44-7-7).
So, in your situation, they (your brother and sister) cannot make you leave the apartment before the end of the lease if you were not given at lease 60 days notice to leave.
Thomas
It is a little unclear from what you wrote, but if you were give notice to leave at least 60 days prior to June 20th, then you would have to leave by June 20th.
