Sample Georgia Residential Lease

 

Take a look at a sample Georgia lease and see what clauses are important to you.  If you have a lease, see what you may want to add, and if you don’t have a lease, familiarize yourself with the important clauses and concepts.  We’ve inserted comments throughout highlighting special features of our Lease Generator tool.

Most of what you see in this lease is configurable using the Lease Generator tool.  It offers easy questions to create your own lease, state-specific disclosures and state-specific tooltips to help with any statutory requirements.

You want to look for a few lease basics:

  1. Ensure all tenants are “joint and severally liable” so that if you have multiple tenants and one tenant can’t pay rent, the full rent remains due
  2. Ensure security deposits are compliant with your state laws.  Security deposits are one of the biggest ‘issues’ when it comes to a lease challenge
  3. Use a “Severability” clause so that if any provision of the lease is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of the lease remains in tact and enforceable
