Georgia Eviction Notice
Before a Georgia landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what Georgia’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.
Georgia rules at a glance
| Unpaid rent | 3 business days. For leases entered or renewed on or after July 1, 2024, a written notice to vacate or pay all past-due rent, late fees, utilities and other charges within 3 business days — posted in a sealed envelope on the door — before filing a dispossessory action.O.C.G.A. § 44-7-50(c), (d) |

Ending a Georgia tenancy
A tenancy at will (a month-to-month with no fixed end) ends on 60 days’ notice from the landlord or 30 days’ from the tenant (§44-7-7). A fixed-term lease simply expires at the end of its term.
- Nonpayment — Since July 1, 2024, the landlord must give a written notice to pay or vacate with a 3-business-day cure period before filing a dispossessory (eviction) action for unpaid rent — a brand-new requirement (§44-7-50).
- Family violence — A survivor with a qualifying protective or stalking order may end the lease 30 days after written notice, owing only prorated rent (§44-7-23).
- Military — An active-duty servicemember with qualifying orders may terminate on 30 days’ notice with a copy of the orders (§44-7-22).
Tenant protections you can’t waive
- Non-waivable duties — A lease can’t disclaim the landlord’s repair or habitability duties, even with “as-is” language (§44-7-2).
- Two-way attorney fees — A clause making the tenant pay the landlord’s attorney fees is void unless it also makes the landlord pay the tenant’s (§44-7-2).
- No self-help eviction — Lockouts, removing belongings, and utility shutoffs are illegal — Georgia requires the court dispossessory process.
- Non-waivable early termination — The military and family-violence termination rights can’t be waived (§§44-7-22, 44-7-23).
Georgia Eviction Notice FAQs
How much notice is needed to end a month-to-month lease in Georgia?
A tenancy at will takes 60 days’ notice from the landlord and 30 days from the tenant (§44-7-7). That notice ends the tenancy but doesn’t itself authorize eviction — the landlord still needs the court process if the tenant stays.
