Georgia Landlord Law: What Owners Need to Know

Georgia is a landlord-friendly state, but the rules changed recently. Here is what actually governs your lease, your deposit and your eviction filing under Title 44 of the Georgia Code.

RENT INCREASESNo rent control

Georgia has no rent control and no statutory percentage cap on increases. Under O.C.G.A. Section 44-7-19 the state preempts local government entirely, so no city or county in Georgia can pass its own rent stabilization ordinance. That preemption has been state policy since 1984.

What governs the increase is your lease. On a fixed term you cannot raise rent mid-term unless the lease allows it, and on a month-to-month tenancy the notice requirements in Title 44, Chapter 7 apply. Confirm the current notice period before you serve anything.

SECURITY DEPOSITSCapped at 2 months since 2024

This one catches owners out. Georgia used to have no deposit limit at all. The Safe at Home Act, HB 404, changed that: since July 1, 2024 the maximum security deposit is two months' rent.

You then have 30 days after the tenant vacates to return the deposit in full or deliver a written statement listing the reasons for every amount you keep. If a page or a lease template still tells you there is no cap in Georgia, it is out of date.

EVICTIONSDispossessory, 7 days to answer

Georgia evictions are called dispossessory proceedings, governed by Title 44, Chapter 7, Article 3, and filed in the Magistrate Court of the county where the property sits.

Once the tenant is served with the dispossessory affidavit they have seven days to file an answer, with the deadline shifting if it lands on a weekend or holiday. If no answer is filed the court can issue a writ. Georgia is faster than most states here, which is exactly why getting the paperwork right matters.

TRUST ACCOUNTSYour rent must sit in escrow

A Georgia broker holding your money, meaning rent and security deposits, must keep it in a separate federally insured trust or escrow account registered with the Georgia Real Estate Commission.

GREC requires each account to be registered within one month of opening, reconciled monthly, and kept open to Commission inspection. When you interview a manager in Georgia, asking how they hold your money is a fair and revealing question.

This is general information, not legal advice. Georgia statutes and notice periods change, as the 2024 deposit cap shows. Confirm what applies to your property with the Georgia Real Estate Commission and Title 44, Chapter 7 of the Georgia Code, or ask us and we will walk through your lease with you.

Do You Need a License to Manage Property in Georgia?

Yes, if you are managing property for someone else. This is the question most owners never think to ask, and it is the one that protects them.

Managing your own rental needs no licence. The moment someone manages property, collects rent or handles community association business for another party for compensation, Georgia requires a real estate licence issued by the Georgia Real Estate Commission.

In practice that means a third-party manager must either hold a broker's licence and operate independently, or hold a salesperson licence under a supervising broker. The education requirement is a 75-hour GREC-approved pre-licensing course.

This matters to you as an owner because an unlicensed manager puts your lease, your deposit handling and your dispossessory filing on uncertain ground, and because GREC is a real place to bring a complaint if your money is mishandled. Intempus manages Georgia property from our Alpharetta office under licensed management. Ask us for the licence details before you sign anything.

What Georgia requires

  • A GREC real estate licence to manage, collect rent or run an association for others
  • Broker's licence to operate independently, or salesperson licence under a supervising broker
  • A 75-hour GREC-approved pre-licensing course
  • Client money in a registered, federally insured trust account, reconciled monthly
  • Managing only your own property is exempt, managing for others is not

Georgia Property Management FAQ

Common questions from Georgia owners and investors.

How much does property management cost in Georgia?

Most Georgia owners pay a simple, flat monthly management fee, always itemized with no hidden costs. The exact number depends on your property type, location and the services you need. The fastest way to get a real quote is a free, no-obligation rental analysis.

Does Georgia have rent control or a cap on rent increases?

No. Georgia has no rent control and no statutory percentage cap on rent increases. O.C.G.A. Section 44-7-19 preempts local government, so no Georgia city or county can adopt its own rent stabilization ordinance. Increases are governed by your lease: you cannot raise rent mid-term on a fixed-term lease unless the lease permits it, and month-to-month tenancies follow the notice rules in Title 44, Chapter 7.

How much security deposit can a landlord charge in Georgia?

Two months' rent is the maximum. This changed on July 1, 2024 under the Safe at Home Act, HB 404. Before that date Georgia had no statutory deposit limit, so older guides and lease templates are often wrong on this point. After a tenant vacates you have 30 days to return the deposit in full or deliver a written statement listing the reason for each amount withheld.

What is the eviction process in Georgia?

Georgia evictions are dispossessory proceedings under Title 44, Chapter 7, Article 3, filed in the Magistrate Court of the county where the property is located. After the tenant is served with the dispossessory affidavit they have seven days to file an answer, with the deadline shifting if it falls on a weekend or holiday. If no answer is filed the court can issue a writ of possession. Georgia moves faster than most states, which makes accurate paperwork important.

Do you need a license to manage rental property in Georgia?

Yes, if you manage for someone else. The Georgia Real Estate Commission requires a real estate licence for anyone who manages property, collects rent or provides community association management for others for compensation. A third-party manager holds either a broker's licence to operate independently or a salesperson licence under a supervising broker, and the education requirement is a 75-hour GREC-approved course. Owners managing only their own property are exempt.

Where does my rent money sit while you manage my Georgia property?

In a separate, federally insured trust account registered with the Georgia Real Estate Commission, which is what GREC requires of any broker holding client funds. Those accounts must be registered within a month of opening, reconciled monthly and kept open to Commission inspection. Your statements in the owner portal show every deposit and disbursement against that account.

What is the average rent in metro Atlanta?

In metro Atlanta, one-bedrooms run about $1,500 to $1,900 per month as of mid-2026, two-bedrooms about $1,800 to $2,300, and single-family homes roughly $2,400 to $3,400. Rents are up about 2 to 3% year over year across most submarkets.

Which Georgia cities does Intempus serve?

We manage homes across North Fulton and Forsyth (Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Milton, Cumming), the city of Atlanta and in-town neighborhoods (Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody), and Cobb and Gwinnett (Marietta, Smyrna, Duluth). If your city is not listed, just contact us.
