Atlanta Tenants Face Eviction Amid Unsafe Living Conditions as Bolden Townhomes Residents Demand Action Following New Laws

• Share on:

When Governor Brian Kemp signed the Safe at Home Act in 2024, it aimed to protect tenants from landlord abuses, but residents at Bolden Townhomes in southwest Atlanta report ongoing unsafe living conditions and evictions. Many tenants, including Mercedes McGregor, claim they are being wrongfully labeled as squatters despite having leases and are facing eviction amid reported issues like mold and lack of electricity. Housing advocates are urging Bolden Capital Group to address these conditions and halt evictions, while expressing concerns that recent laws may allow landlords to circumvent tenant protections.
