Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a written lease agreement in Georgia?

While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Georgia law strongly favors written lease agreements. A written lease protects both landlord and tenant by clearly documenting terms, responsibilities, and required disclosures under the Georgia Landlord Tenant Act. Georgia requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead-based paint (pre-1978, federal) and Landlord/agent identity and address (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-3), which must be in writing.

What are Georgia's security deposit rules?

In Georgia, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.

How much does a Georgia lease agreement cost?

Each lease agreement costs $7.99. Choose your document type, fill in your details through our guided form, and download your completed, Georgia-compliant PDF instantly. Re-download available for 5 days.

Does Georgia have any rent control or tenant eviction protections?

No. Georgia has no statewide rent control, and state law (O.C.G.A. §44-7-2) prevents local governments from enacting rent control ordinances. Georgia also does not require just cause for eviction - landlords can terminate month-to-month tenancies with proper notice (60 days) without stating a reason. Security deposits must be returned within 30 days of move-out. Georgia is generally considered one of the most landlord-friendly states.
