Common questions
- How large a security deposit can a Georgia landlord require?
- The firm's apartment management material states that a landlord can request a security deposit equivalent to two months' rent. When the lease ends, the landlord must return the deposit, less any deductions for damages or unpaid rent.
- What has to happen before a tenant can be evicted?
- The firm's guidance is that a landlord must follow proper eviction procedure: first give the tenant written notice stating the reason for the eviction, and if the tenant does not comply, file a petition with the court to evict.
