Cal. Civ. Code § 44-7-7
Notice required for termination of a tenancy at will.
Operative Text
Sixty days’ notice from the landlord or 30 days’ notice from the tenant is necessary to terminate a tenancy at will.
Under O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7, a tenancy at will in Georgia does not end automatically — it requires advance written notice from whichever party wishes to end it. The landlord must provide at least 60 days' notice, while the tenant is required to give at least 30 days' notice. This asymmetry reflects the different notice burdens placed on each side of the rental relationship.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under a tenancy-at-will arrangement in Georgia should be aware that O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7 requires them to provide a full 60 days' notice before terminating such a tenancy. Compliant operators typically document the date notice is delivered and retain proof of service to establish that the statutory period was properly observed. Failing to provide the required notice period can affect the landlord's ability to pursue subsequent legal remedies, such as dispossessory proceedings.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7, tenants in a Georgia tenancy at will are entitled to receive at least 60 days' notice before a landlord can lawfully terminate the arrangement. If a landlord attempts to remove a tenant without providing that notice period, the tenant may have grounds to raise the statutory violation as a defense in any dispossessory action. Tenants who believe their landlord has not complied with this notice requirement may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Georgia landlord-tenant law.
