A Georgia 60 Day Notice to Quit is used by a landlord to terminate a month-to-month tenancy or tenancy-at-will by providing advance written notice that the rental agreement will end. This notice informs the tenant that the landlord has decided to end the rental relationship and that the tenant must vacate the premises by the stated termination date. Georgia law does not require the landlord to state a reason for ending a month-to-month tenancy when proper notice is given.
What Does Georgia Law Say?
Sixty days’ notice from the landlord or 30 days’ notice from the tenant is necessary to terminate a tenancy at will.
Under Georgia law, a month-to-month lease is considered a tenancy at will unless otherwise stated in a written agreement. When a landlord provides at least 60 days’ notice, the tenancy may be lawfully terminated at the end of the notice period.
