Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on OCGA 44-7-34 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.
