If you are living in a hotel or extended stay motel, you may have protections against being set out.
If you are being set out because you did not pay rent, if the hotel is your home, they should still go through the formal eviction process.
If your hotel manager tells you that you have to leave, stay calm.
Call Atlanta Legal Aid or Georgia Legal Services right away for advice.
Don't wait until the manager is there to set you out, instead call as soon as you get notice that you are going to have to leave.
If the police come and say you are trespassing, tell them you are a tenant and the hotel is trying to put you out without an eviction order.
If the officers still say you have to leave, get their names and information and leave quietly- it is not worth getting arrested.
Make sure to grab important papers, personal items, and your medicines.
If a hotel is your home, you may have rights. If you are being forced to leave, talk to an attorney as soon as possible.

UMMMM "Not worth getting arrested"? It is absolutely worth getting arrested. If the police unlawfully demand you to leave and you are in fact a resident. In Ca this means you have lived there continuously for more than 30n days with no lapse. If the cops do follow through with a arrest then you have a fat lawsuit against both the city and the hotel. And no matter what you do make sure you record EVERYTHING. no matter what the police say keep recording and stay calm. Provide the police with clear evidence you have lived there for more than 30 days and take the arrest is at all possible. Again stay calm, don't cause a disturbance and keep recording no matter what they say.
