Familiarize yourself with the Georgia Landlord-Tenant Act, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties. It covers various aspects, including lease agreements, security deposits, and eviction procedures.

Lease Agreement Terms - It's essential to clearly outline lease terms, rent due dates, late fees, and conditions for eviction within the lease.

Non-Payment Notice - If a tenant fails to pay rent, landlords must provide a written notice demanding payment. If the tenant doesn't comply within a specified period (often 7 days), the landlord may proceed with eviction.

Termination Notice - In cases of lease violations or other justifiable causes, landlords must provide a written notice specifying the violation and allowing a reasonable timeframe for the tenant to remedy the situation.

Legal Proceedings - If the tenant does not comply with the notice and remains in the property, landlords can file an unlawful detainer lawsuit. This legal process initiates the eviction proceedings.

Writ of Possession - If the court grants the eviction, a writ of possession is issued, allowing law enforcement to remove the tenant and their belongings from the property.

Tenant Defenses - Tenants have the right to present defenses during eviction proceedings. Common defenses include improper notice, landlord retaliation, or failure to address habitability issues.

Retaliatory Evictions - Georgia law prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants for exercising their legal rights, such as reporting code violations. Retaliatory evictions are illegal.

Eviction Records - Evictions can be a part of a tenant's rental history. Landlords and property managers often check eviction records during the tenant screening process.

Legal Assistance - Both landlords and tenants have the right to seek legal counsel during eviction proceedings. Legal assistance can help ensure that the process follows the law and is fair to all parties involved.

Stay informed and comply with legal procedures for a smoother landlord-tenant relationship.
