Automatic Lease Renewal Rights

Summary

If a lease in Georgia specifies automatic renewal without requalification, landlords generally cannot require requalification unless the lease states otherwise. Review your lease terms, communicate with your landlord, and document all interactions. Consider seeking advice from Georgia Legal Aid or a local attorney for further guidance.
