What is the standard lease agreement in Georgia?

A Georgia standard residential lease agreement binds a landlord and tenant in a contract regarding the rental of a property. By signing a lease agreement, a tenant agrees to rent the premises for a fixed period in exchange for a monthly rent amount.

Can you cancel a lease after signing in Georgia?

Remember that once both parties sign the document, it becomes legally binding. This means that tenants who try to break the lease without a valid reason may face legal consequences if they dont comply with the terms they agreed upon.

Is there a lease law in Georgia?

Georgia landlord-tenant law only covers the foundation of a lease agreement, which includes terms of the lease, rent payments, security deposits, and evictions. The rest of the clauses may be adjusted by the landlord in their rental agreement.

What are the renters rights in Georgia?

Your landlord is responsible for repairs to keep the property in good condition. Georgia law says that a landlord cannot make a tenant make or pay for repairs, unless that tenant, his/her family or guests caused the damage. For serious repair problems, local housing code departments can inspect for possible violations.

What can a landlord not do in GA?

Keeping a deposit for wear and tear, failing to provide an itemized list to offset deductions, or failing to return money within 30 days are all against Georgia landlord law. Deposits only cover unpaid rent or actual damages (not routine cleaning or minor repairs).

What is the new rental law in Georgia?

Landlords are now legally required to provide rental housing that is safe and habitable. This includes ensuring properties are free from health and safety risks and addressing maintenance issues in a timely manner.

What is the new rent law in Georgia?

Security deposit cap now set at two months rent Security deposits are now capped at no more than two months rent. Landlords cannot charge more than this amount as a security deposit for any rental unit. This is nothing more than a form of rent control.
