Georgia Military Clause (SCRA)

This Military Clause (SCRA) 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.

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 Military Clause (SCRA) 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.
