The handbook distinguishes residential from commercial/business leases, explains that disputes often require court action since no state agency can force party compliance, and emphasizes that the guide is not a substitute for professional legal advice. It also summarizes relevant topics such as entering into leases, tenancy issues, evictions, and related subjects including discrimination protections and disabled tenant rights.","GEORGIA\nLANDLORD TENANT\nHANDBOOK\nA Landlord-Tenant Guide to the State’s Rental Laws\nRevised\nFebruary 2021\n\u000f\nIntroduction\nThis Handbook provides an overview and answers\u0013 XE \"Answer to Dispossessory Affidavit\" \u0015 common questions about Georgia residential landlord-tenant law. The information in this Handbook does not apply to commercial or business leases.\nThe best solution for each case depends on the facts. Because facts in each case are different, this Handbook covers general terms and answers, and those answers may not apply to your specific problem.\nWhile this publication may be helpful to both landlords and tenants, it is not a substitute for professional legal advice. This Handbook has information on Georgia landlord-tenant law as of the last revision date and may not be up to date on the law. Before relying on this Handbook, you should independently research and analyze the relevant law based on your specific problem, location, and facts.\nIn Georgia, there is not a government agency that can intervene in a landlord-tenant dispute or force the landlord or tenant to behave a particular way. Landlords or tenants who cannot resolve a dispute need to use the courts, either directly or through a lawyer, to enforce their legal rights.\nThe Handbook is available on the internet or in print (by request) from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.dca.ga.gov\" \u0014www.dca.ga.gov\u0015).\nTable of Contents\n\u0013 TOC \\o \"2-2\" \\f \\h \\z \\t \"Heading one,1\" \u0014\u0013 HYPERLINK \"file:///C:\\\\Users\\\\barne\\\\Dropbox\\\\GSU_UGA_DCA%20LL-T%20Handbook\\\\Handbook_with%20Statutes%20for%20DCA%20Clean%20File%20w%20new%20revision%20date%20fixing%20TOC.docx\" \\l \"_Toc64225716\" \u0014Relevant Law\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225716 \\h \u00143\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"file:///C:\\\\Users\\\\barne\\\\Dropbox\\\\GSU_UGA_DCA%20LL-T%20Handbook\\\\Handbook_with%20Statutes%20for%20DCA%20Clean%20File%20w%20new%20revision%20date%20fixing%20TOC.docx\" \\l \"_Toc64225717\" \u0014Entering into a Lease and Other Tenancy Issues\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225717 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225718\" \u00141.\tSubmitting a Rental Application\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225718 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225719\" \u00142.\tReviewing and Signing a Lease\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225719 \\h \u00145\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225720\" \u00143.\tProblems During a Lease:\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225720 \\h \u001410\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225721\" \u00144. \tSubletting:\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225721 \\h \u001413\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225722\" \u00145. \tEarly Termination:\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225722 \\h \u001413\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225723\" \u00146. \tEnd of the Lease:\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225723 \\h \u001413\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"file:///C:\\\\Users\\\\barne\\\\Dropbox\\\\GSU_UGA_DCA%20LL-T%20Handbook\\\\Handbook_with%20Statutes%20for%20DCA%20Clean%20File%20w%20new%20revision%20date%20fixing%20TOC.docx\" \\l \"_Toc64225724\" \u0014Evictions\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225724 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"file:///C:\\\\Users\\\\barne\\\\Dropbox\\\\GSU_UGA_DCA%20LL-T%20Handbook\\\\Handbook_with%20Statutes%20for%20DCA%20Clean%20File%20w%20new%20revision%20date%20fixing%20TOC.docx\" \\l \"_Toc64225725\" \u0014Miscellaneous\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225725 \\h \u001419\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225726\" \u00141.\tMilitary Service Members as Tenants.\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225726 \\h \u001419\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225727\" \u00142.\tLead Based Paint Disclosures.\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225727 \\h \u001420\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225728\" \u00143.\tForeclosure.\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225728 \\h \u001420\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225729\" \u00145.\tRoommates.\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225729 \\h \u001420\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225730\" \u00146.\tManufactured and Mobile Homes\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225730 \\h \u001421\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225731\" \u0014Eviction Q&A\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225731 \\h \u001422\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc64225732\" \u0014INDEX\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc64225732 \\h \u001429\u0015\u0015\n\u0015\nRelevant Law\nIf a tenant or applicant has a disability that requires accommodation, someone must request that the landlord make the necessary accommodations.
