Georgia Notice of Rent Increase
Give written notice before raising rent on a Georgia tenancy. A Georgia rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. A Georgia tenancy at will generally takes 60 days’ notice from the landlord or 30 days’ notice from the tenant (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7). A written month-to-month lease can set a different lawful notice period. The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
