Notice Requirements For Lodgers

Summary

In Georgia, landlords must provide a 30-day written notice to lodgers who have stayed for more than 30 days. The notice should include terms such as maintaining cleanliness, ensuring no property damage, confirming nothing is stolen, and keeping appliances in working condition. Additionally, it should specify that rent and utilities must be paid on time, with late fees applicable for delays. This ensures clear communication of expectations and consequences, helping to maintain a harmonious living arrangement.
