A Georgia month-to-month lease agreement establishes the legally binding relationship between a landlord and their tenant to whom they are renting a residential rental unit on a monthly basis. This type of arrangement is usually temporary, enabling either party to cancel the agreement for no particular reason (a notice period is required – see below).

A month-to-month lease is often introduced at the end of a standard 1-year residential lease to continue the rental arrangement on more impermanent grounds. This type of contract gives the landlord more flexibility, as they can terminate the lease more easily and use the space for themselves, increase the rent before the next tenant, or rent it out as a vacation rental.

Notice For Terminating (§ 44-7-7) – Sixty (60) Days (Landlords) | Thirty (30) Days (Tenants)”
