A Georgia Notice to Pay Rent or Quit is commonly used when a tenant has failed to pay rent and the landlord needs to make a formal written demand before initiating a dispossessory (eviction) action. This notice advises the tenant that rent remains outstanding and requests payment of the balance due or surrender of possession of the rental premises.
In Georgia, there is no fixed statutory notice period for nonpayment demands. Landlords typically issue a demand for payment and possession prior to filing a dispossessory proceeding. If the tenant does not satisfy the rent obligation after demand is made, the landlord may proceed with filing an eviction action in the appropriate court.
