Georgia Rent Increase Notice

A Georgia landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what Georgia’s says.

Georgia rules at a glance

Georgia rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase	60 days. Georgia has no rent-increase statute; a landlord ending or changing a tenancy at will gives 60 days’ notice.O.C.G.A. §44-7-7
Rent cap	Georgia bars any city or county from regulating residential rents.OCGA §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).
