Georgia Month-to-Month Rental Agreement
Georgia treats an open-ended residential occupancy as a tenancy at will unless the writing says otherwise. Landlord notice is generally 60 days; tenant notice is 30 (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7). Spell the notice period out so nobody is guessing.
- 60 / 30 is the statutory tenancy-at-will default (§ 44-7-7).
- Deposit article duties still apply to larger or broker-managed landlords.
- There is no statewide rent-control board.

- What is a Georgia month-to-month rental agreement?
- A month-to-month agreement has no fixed end date. It renews each rental period until someone gives proper written notice. 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.
- How much notice is required to end a month-to-month tenancy in Georgia?
- 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.
- Can I raise rent on a month-to-month tenant in Georgia?
- 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. City rent-control or just-cause rules may still cap the amount even when notice is correct.
- Month-to-month vs fixed-term lease — which is better?
- Fixed-term leases give both sides stability for a set period. Month-to-month offers flexibility but less predictability on rent and occupancy. Match the agreement type to how long you expect the tenancy to last.
