Georgia Eviction Notice
Georgia dispossessory starts with a demand for possession. There is no statewide 3-day or 7-day cure unless the lease creates one. This notice is that demand. This generator builds a written Georgia eviction notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, end-of-term, or unconditional quit) around those deadlines. It is not a court summons, and it is not permission to change the locks.
- There is no single statewide pay-or-quit clock. Start with a written demand.
- A written demand stating the default is the usual first step. The lease may set a cure period.
- This notice does not start a court case. If the tenant stays, file in the proper court and have the papers served.

- What is an eviction notice in Georgia?
- Georgia dispossessory starts with a demand for possession. There is no statewide 3-day or 7-day cure unless the lease creates one. This notice is that demand.
- Can I change the locks or remove belongings after serving notice?
- No. Self-help eviction is illegal in most states. After proper notice, you generally must file in court and follow the judge’s process. Never lock a tenant out without a lawful order.
- Pay-or-quit vs cure-or-quit — what is the difference?
- Georgia does not set a uniform pay-or-quit clock. Serve a written demand for rent and possession before a dispossessory filing (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-50). A written demand stating the default is the usual first step. The lease may set a cure period.
