In my experience, it may be faster/cheaper to pay them to leave (making sure that they leave before you pay them).
During the eviction process you are not likely to get any rent, and there is no telling what damage may be done. The faster you can get these tenants out and start moving forward, the better off you'll be.
We essentially forgave back rent, and then offered cash equal to two-months rent for the tenants to vacate. In the long run, cheaper, faster and less headaches than a forced eviction.

I recommend talking to a local property management professional. They will be able to provide the exact steps necessary for your jurisdiction.

Document everything. Keep a log of all communications. Follow the previous advice regarding evictions.(use an attorney) Bad tenants are notorious liars.

I would take a picture of the notice on the door. That way you have proof it was delivered that is incontestable if it is ever needed.

This is why you should get a property manager. But aside from that you need to give a 3-day notice to pay or quit. Post a copy on their door but keep the original. In the mean time look for an eviction company and at the end of the third day pay them the necessary fees and move forward with the eviction. BTW, don't be surprised if it takes two months to get them out. Good luck!

Georgia Landlord-Tenant laws: Landlord-Tenant GA
In Florida, your first step is to file a 3 Day Notice--Georgia may be different. In my experience as a landlord, if they fail to respond to a written request you will need to file an eviction.

You need to find a GOOD landlord-tenant attorney and start eviction and THEN find a professional property manager to manage your property, screen your residents AND collect the rent!
I live in the state of Georgia, and I cannot get my tenant to pay his rent, in which was due the 1st
