Georgia notice to vacate rules

In Georgia, a landlord must give 60 days’ notice to end a month-to-month tenancy, and a tenant must give 30 days’ notice. For unpaid rent, the notice period is 3 business days.

Landlord ends month-to-month: 60 days
Tenant ends month-to-month: 30 days
Week-to-week: No fixed period
Unpaid rent: 3 business days
Lease violation: No fixed period

Unpaid rent: Notice to vacate or pay all past-due rent, late fees, utilities, and other charges within 3 business days, posted on the door in a sealed envelope, before the landlord may file a dispossessory affidavit.
Lease violations: No statutory cure period; the lease governs, and the landlord may demand possession and file a dispossessory action.

Law: O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7, § 44-7-50
