Georgia Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

Georgia month-to-month lease agreement, also known as a rental agreement, is a short-term contract that renews monthly. Month-to-month tenants are called “tenants-at-will” because they or the landlord can terminate the contract with adequate notice. In other words, the agreement spans an indefinite amount of time.

Like a fixed-term Georgia lease agreement, month-to-month leases require mandatory state disclosures. Like anything involving the law, there’s a lot to know, and we’ll cover the most essential facets below.
