What if a Georgia rent increase violates the cap?
Short answer
Georgia has no statewide rent cap, so an increase amount alone does not violate state law. However, an increase served with defective notice (wrong period, wrong form, missing content) is unenforceable until proper notice is served. Local rent control may apply in specific Georgia cities; check the local rules.

Honest limits
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.
