New Law in Georgia Requires Eviction Notices to Be Posted on the Property: How Falcon LegalServices Can Help You Stay Compliant

Effective July 1, 2024, a new Georgia law mandates that landlords post eviction notices directly on the

rental property. This measure aims to enhance transparency and ensure tenants are fully informed

about impending legal actions. Here's what property owners, managers, and tenants need to know, and

how Falcon Legal Services can assist with compliance.

What Does the New Law Require?

Prior to this legislation, eviction proceedings in Georgia typically involved delivering written notices via

mail or other methods, without a requirement for physical posting at the rental property. The new law

changes this by requiring landlords to visibly post the notice to vacate on the tenant’s rental property,

eliminating any ambiguity regarding a tenant’s awareness of their situation.

Why the Change?

This requirement aligns with similar policies in other states where physical posting has proven effective

in ensuring tenants are fully informed. By mandating the physical posting of notices, Georgia aims to

reduce misunderstandings and disputes over whether tenants received an eviction notice. This approach

adds a level of transparency that benefits all parties involved, providing tenants with clear, indisputable

notification.

The Importance of Professional Compliance

Adhering to this new legal requirement is essential, as missteps can lead to delays, penalties, or

complications in court. Ensuring compliance with all legal aspects of an eviction not only protects your

rights as a landlord but also upholds professionalism and integrity in the process. Legal documents must

be handled correctly to avoid costly errors or challenges, underscoring the importance of having

experienced professionals manage each step.
