Georgia Landlord and Tenant Laws

Landlord and Tenant laws are clearly described in Georgia. A Georgia rental lease agreement should follow these laws. If the parties do not follow these laws, the matter can be taken to small claims court. Some of these laws include:

  • When a tenant is suing a landlord in Magistrate Court in Georgia, there is an upper limit of $15,000 on the claims. However, there is no limit in the cases of eviction.
  • Georgia rulebook also provides clearly laid out policies for late rent or no rent payment cases. These can help out the landlord in case they are facing these issues with the tenant.
  • There is no upper limit on the amount of security deposit that a landlord may demand from a tenant. However, the security deposit should be returned within one month after the tenant has vacated the premises.
  • If a tenant wishes to sue the landlord for a return of the security deposit, they may do so in a Magistrate Court. The tenant can sue up to a dollar amount of $15,000.
  • If a tenant fails to pay rent more than once in a period of 12 months, the landlord has the right to give an unconditional eviction notice to the tenant. If the tenant does not evict, the landlord may file for eviction.

There are many other important statutes in Georgia Landlord and Tenant laws. This is why it is essential to download a Georgia rental lease agreement template provided below when you are looking forward to creating such an agreement.

Georgia Lease Disclosures & Addendums

Under the laws of Georgia, there is specific information that the landlord must disclose to the tenant in the lease agreement. These disclosures include:

Flooding

If the property has flooded three or more times in the last five years, the landlord must disclose it to the tenant.

Identification of Manager

If there is any property manager, an agent, or any other individual who is allowed in the property at any time, the landlord should mention it in the lease agreement.

List of Prior Damages

The landlord should provide a list of damages on the property that are already present at the beginning of the lease. This is usually done to make sure that the tenant receives back the security deposit that they have paid. An inspection form can be used for this purpose.

Former Tenant

The landlord must provide information about former tenants to the current tenant, in case the former tenant contacted a virus or committed a crime (such as murder) on the property.

Lead Paint Disclosure

The landlord needs to provide a lead paint disclosure if the property was built prior to 1978. Further, there are many addendums in the Georgia Landlord and Tenant laws that provide both parties with various guidelines to follow.

For example, if the tenant fails to pay rent more than once in a 12 month period, the landlord can give the tenant an eviction notice.

Optional Disclosures & Addendums

There are many disclosures and addendums that are not mentioned in the Georgia Landlord and Tenant laws. Adding these disclosures and addendums is completely optional. It is recommended to add these in order to make the lease more transparent.

Here are the recommended disclosures and addendums that should find a place in your Georgia rental lease agreement:

Late Fee

If the landlord intends to charge any late fee or bounced check fee, the lease agreement should mention so. While there is no upper limit to this fee in the law, the fee should be reasonable to both parties.

Shared Utilities Arrangement

If there are any utilities in the property that the tenants will share among themselves, the lease agreement should discuss the nature of this arrangement. It should dictate how the arrangements will be shared and the cost of using the shared utilities for each tenant.

Bed Bugs Disclosure

If the property has a history of bed bugs infestation, the lease agreement should mention so. It may also establish a protocol to follow in case of a bed bug infestation in the future.

Asbestos Disclosure

If the property is built prior to 1981, it is a good idea to mention any existence of asbestos at the property if such existence is in the knowledge of the landlord.

Mold Disclosure

The lease should mention the current mold situation at the property. This protects against any future liabilities for mold in the property due to the tenant’s negligence.
