Right to cure / redeem in Georgia
In a nonpayment case, the tenant may tender all rent claimed plus the cost of the dispossessory warrant within 7 days of being served, and that is a complete defense. A landlord must accept such a tender from a tenant only once in any 12-month period (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-52(a)).
