RE: Tent - Landlord Dispute
Trudy Tenet seeks legal counsel from Roche & Bryant Attorneys at law to find relief from and put to test: O.C.G.A§ 44-7-13 Landlord's duties as to repairs and improvements, and O.C.G.A.44-7-14.1. Landlord's duties as to utilities.

On October 15, just as the weather began to turn cold, Luke turned off the heat and hot water to the apartment because Trudy did not pay her rent on October 1.
