Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault) in Georgia
Before filing, the owner must demand possession (holdover or tenancy at will or sufferance). For unpaid rent, late fees, utilities or other charges, the landlord must first give a notice to vacate or pay within 3 business days. Either notice must be posted in a sealed envelope on the door and also delivered by any method the lease provides. Public housing authorities may give the demand with the federal termination notice. HB 404 (Ga. L. 2024, p. 91) took effect July 1, 2024, and applies to leases entered into or renewed on or after that date.
