# O.C.G.A. § 44-14-343. Enforcement of special lien for rent by distress warrant.

A landlord’s special lien for rent shall be enforced by a distress warrant in the same manner as general liens for rent are enforced; and no further allegations in the affidavit to procure a distress warrant to enforce a special lien for rent shall be necessary than are necessary to enforce the landlord’s general lien for rent.
