Georgia Required lease disclosures

What disclosures must a landlord give tenants in Georgia?

Before signing a written lease, the owner must tell the prospective tenant in writing if flooding has damaged the leased living space at least 3 times in the 5 years before the lease. An owner who does not is liable for flood damage to the tenant's personal property during the lease (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-20, version effective July 1, 2026). Landlords must also give the federal lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 units.
