GEORGIA LEASE RENEWAL / RENT ADJUSTMENT NOTICE

Notice Date: [[Notice Date]]

Landlord / Property Manager: [[Landlord Full Name or Company]]
Property Address: [[Property Full Address]], [[City]], GA [[ZIP Code]]

Tenant(s): [[Tenant Full Name(s)]]

This document provides a complete Georgia-compliant written notice of lease renewal and/or rent adjustment. It is structured to satisfy the requirements of Georgia Code Title 44, Chapter 7 (Landlord and Tenant) and recommended best practices.

Georgia has no statute that mandates a specific lease renewal notice form or minimum period for fixed-term lease renewals. Renewal terms are governed by the original lease agreement or a new written agreement between the parties. For month-to-month (periodic) tenancies, O.C.G.A. §44-7-7 requires 60 days' written notice to terminate the tenancy.

All user-provided information is tokenized using `[[Token Name]]` placeholders.

1. Georgia Notice Requirements, O.C.G.A. §44-7 and §44-7-7

Georgia does not impose statutory notice periods for rent increases on fixed-term leases beyond what the lease itself requires. The lease controls.

• For month-to-month tenancies, landlords commonly provide at least 60 days' advance written notice of any rent change or non-renewal to align with the termination notice period under §44-7-7.

• If the current lease is a fixed term, review the lease for any specific renewal, notice, or rent adjustment provisions. The lease may require 30, 60, or 90 days' notice, or may automatically convert to month-to-month.

• Landlords are recommended to provide renewal notice at least 60 days prior to lease end to give tenants time to decide and to allow orderly transition if the tenant elects not to renew.

2. Confirmation that Georgia Has No Statewide Rent Control or Caps

Georgia has no statewide rent control law, rent stabilization, or statutory cap on rent increases for privately owned residential property.

• Landlords may adjust rent to any amount permitted by the market and the terms of the lease or new agreement.

• Local governments in Georgia generally do not impose rent control or just-cause eviction requirements on standard residential tenancies.

• Any rent increase must be delivered with proper written notice if required by the lease for periodic tenancies and must not be retaliatory or discriminatory.

Rent Control / Cap Status: No statewide rent control or statutory increase limit applies in Georgia.
