A Georgia lease termination letter (60-day notice) is a legal document the landlord or tenant uses to conclude a month-to-month tenancy agreement. It is crucial in such arrangements, necessitating both parties to provide a written notice at least 60 days before the intended termination date.
This notice enables either party to terminate the tenancy without specifying a particular reason as long as the proper notice period is given. Signatures are mandatory to validate the document, ensuring compliance with the terms outlined in the lease agreement and Georgia’s landlord-tenant laws. These guidelines allow for a structured and legally sound conclusion to the month-to-month tenancy.
Governing Law — Ga. Code § 44-7-7.
Reasons to Use a 60-Day Notice to Vacate
Some reasons to request a tenant in Georgia to vacate a rental property include:
- Property Sale or Major Renovation: Landlords planning to sell the property or undertake significant renovations that necessitate the property being vacant may use this notice to inform the tenants.
- Non-Renewal of a Fixed-Term Lease: If a landlord does not intend to renew a fixed-term lease, they may issue a notice towards the end of the lease period. Similarly, tenants who do not wish to continue their lease should also provide a notice of their intent to vacate.
