The Supreme Court of Georgia is expected to soon decide whether a DeKalb County extended-stay motel operator’s contractual designation as an innkeeper, rather than landlord, precluded it from having to legally evict long-term guests who’d stopped paying weekly rent.
The outcome could impact pending damages claims filed by several patrons who considered themselves tenants of the apartment motel.
