AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Senior Stabilization Act," aims to protect certain senior citizens from significant rent increases by amending Georgia law concerning landlords and tenants. Specifically, it defines a "tenant" for the purposes of this act as someone who is 62 years of age or older and whose main income comes from Social Security benefits, including retirement, survivor's, supplemental security income, and disability benefits, and who has a rental agreement in place on June 30, 2026. For the period between July 1, 2026, and December 31, 2028, landlords will be prohibited from increasing the rent by more than 10 percent when renewing or entering into a new rental agreement with these eligible senior tenants, compared to the rent they were paying on June 30, 2026.
