The city of Morrow and housing startup PadSplit will have to wait until Oct. 13 to resume their battle over 22 renters’ evictions from three homes managed by the company, Clayton County Superior Court Judge Jewel Scott decided Tuesday. The city of Morrow’s attorneys kicked off the Oct. 3 hearing over extending the restraining order by complaining that the judge lacked jurisdiction over the case because PadSplit’s legal team failed to properly notify the city that the housing startup had filed suit. By last April, the city had filed 18 code violation notices against the three properties in Morrow Municipal Court, claiming that the housing startup was running illegal boarding houses and skirting occupancy taxes.
