AI Summary
This bill repeals the prohibition on local governments in Georgia from regulating the amount of rent to be charged for privately owned, single-family or multiple-unit residential rental property. It amends the state's landlord-tenant laws to remove the existing restriction, thereby allowing local governments to potentially implement rent control measures if they choose to do so.
