Ga. Law Firms Get New Chance To Fight Unpaid Rent Suit
Law360 (March 1, 2021, 8:30 PM EST) The Court of Appeals of Georgia on Monday said two law firms shouldn t have been barred from a rent payment dispute with a company that subleased them office space, saying Atlanta Life Financial Group Inc. s practice of accepting reduced or no payments complicates the facts.
A unanimous panel said the terms of the sublease may have been waived because of Atlanta Life s payment flexibility with its subtenants, The Hatchett Firm PC and Durham Law Group PC. The decision overturned a lower court s grant of summary judgment on Atlanta Life s allegation that the two subtenants breached the sublease.
