Georgia tenant rights

Georgia is landlord-leaning: a 30-day deposit return, an immediate-demand eviction process for nonpayment, no statewide entry-notice statute, and no rent control.

• Georgia security deposit law: 30 days to return the deposit; cap no statutory cap
• Georgia eviction process: no fixed period nonpayment notice
• Georgia repair obligations: habitability protected
• Georgia landlord entry notice: no statewide rule entry notice
• Georgia rent increase rules: 60 days rent-increase notice
