What to do if I have recieved a 3-day eviction notice?
Is the deadline at 12:00 am on the the 3rd day or do I have the entire day to finish moving everything? I need to know what to expect because I was under the impression that I had until the end of the day but I’m now questioning that and it’s too late to call the courthouse.

If you are located in Georgia, the deadline is simply a demand from the landlord. If you stay past the deadline, the landlord would be legally required to go and then file a dispossessory action (eviction), which will be served on you a few days later. You will then have 7 days to file response if you want to fight it.

You can be locked out at the time specified on the notice--so, at 12 noon. You may be able to convince the landlord to allow you extra time, but do not count on that--you should be prepared for a 12:00 am lockout.
