A Georgia month-to-month lease agreement, or rental agreement, is a short-term contract that automatically renews each month and can be terminated by either party with proper notice. Tenants under this arrangement are considered “tenants-at-will,” as the lease has no fixed end date. Like fixed-term leases, these agreements must include required state disclosures. This guide covers the key legal aspects of Georgia’s month-to-month leases.

Required Landlord Disclosures (6)
Disclosures are legally required elements of lease agreements, either by state or federal law, that ensure landlords provide tenants with necessary information regarding the property or rental terms.
Georgia landlord-tenant law requires landlords to provide the following disclosures:
- Landlord’s name and address: Before the lease starts, landlords must provide tenants with their name(s) and address(es). They must communicate any updates to this information to the tenant within 30 days (§ 44-7-3 (a)).
- Move-in/move-out inspection form: Landlords need to share a move-in/move-out checklist that helps tenants note the home’s current conditions before collecting a security deposit.
- Flood disclosure: Landlords must disclose to prospective tenants if the property has a history of flooding, specifically if three or more flooding events have occurred within the last 5 years (§ 44-7-20).
- Lead-based paint disclosure: Federal law requires landlords to include this disclosure in all leases for dwellings built before 1978.
- Death or disease: If tenants ask, landlords must truthfully answer whether somebody has died on the property (OCGA § 44-1-16).
- Security deposit info: Landlords must disclose the location of the bank holding tenants’ security deposits. (OCGA § 44-7-31).
