Rental housing supply is limited in Atlanta, which drives up prices. Landlords are more likely to evict tenants and find new renters who are willing to pay a premium, rather than lowering rents or dealing with late payments.

It's worth noting that the process described only accounts for the initial filings, not the subsequent writs. Fulton County's marshals can handle up to a thousand writs at a time, which leads to a significant backlog and delays the eviction process by three to four months.
