Georgia Lease Extension Addendum
This Lease Extension Addendum is built with Georgia as the governing state. These are the Georgia landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
Georgia rules at a glance
| Month-to-month termination | Landlord 60 days · Tenant 30 daysOCGA §44-7-7 |
|---|---|
| Non-waivable early termination | The military and family-violence termination rights can’t be waived (§§44-7-22, 44-7-23). |
| Rent control | Prohibited statewideOCGA §44-7-19 |
Rent, late fees & returned checks
Georgia sets no statutory rent due date or grace period — the lease controls. There is also no statutory cap on residential late fees.
- Late-fee myth — A widely repeated “$20 or 20%” late-fee cap actually comes from Georgia’s Self-Service Storage Facility Act, which by its own terms doesn’t apply to homes or apartments. Residential late fees are governed only by the common-law rule that a fee must be a reasonable estimate of loss, not a penalty.
- Returned-check fee — Georgia’s bad-check statute allows $30 or 5% of the check, whichever is greater, plus bank fees (§13-6-15).
- Rent control — Georgia bars any city or county from regulating residential rents (§44-7-19).
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 Lease Extension Addendum 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.
