Is there a rent cap in Georgia?
No. Georgia has no statewide rent cap. The lease governs rent increases during any fixed term. After the fixed term or on month-to-month tenancies, the landlord may raise rent with the required advance notice. Georgia has no statewide advance notice specific to rent increases. OCGA 44-7-7 sets 60 days as the landlord-initiated month-to-month termination default, treated as the default for rent changes. No state rent cap.

This is an informational answer based on OCGA 44-7-7 (60-day landlord termination default) as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a Georgia-licensed attorney.
