Bill > HB1389

This bill amends Georgia law concerning dispossessory proceedings, which are legal actions a landlord can take to remove a tenant from a property. Specifically, it extends the required notice period a landlord must give a tenant who has failed to pay rent, late fees, utilities, or other charges. Previously, a landlord had to provide a "notice to vacate or pay" within three business days, but this bill changes that to seven business days. This means a tenant now has a longer period to either pay what they owe or move out before the landlord can initiate legal proceedings to evict them. The bill also clarifies that this seven-day notice, like the previous three-day notice, must be posted on the property's door and can be delivered through any other methods agreed upon in the rental agreement.
