60 days rent-increase notice.
Georgia prohibits local rent control and sets no cap on increases. For a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must give 60 days' notice to change terms, including rent.
What this means for you: Rent can rise by any amount at renewal. The 60-day notice is your main protection for month-to-month tenancies.
Your next step: Confirm you received 60 days' notice for a month-to-month increase.
