Fixed Term Lease Rent Increase
Summary
Landlords in Georgia cannot increase rent during a fixed-term lease, such as a 6-month agreement. For any rent increase after the lease term, they must provide at least 60 days notice. Discuss these points with your parents to resolve the issue.Full Conversation
I live with family but I rent my room separately. I made a contract with my parent and now they want to raise rent what can I do if I already have a lease
Hello ****, could you please inform me about the duration and terms of your lease? Also, it would be helpful to know your location to provide accurate information.
6 months
Hello ****,
If your lease agreement states a fixed amount for the full 6 months, your parents do not have the right to increase the rent during this period. Could you please let me know your location to provide more specific information?
