Tips for Renting in Douglasville
Ready to call Douglasville your new home? Here are a few tips about the city's tenant laws.
Because Georgia doesn't have rent control laws, there's no limit on how much your landlord can increase the rental price once your lease ends, if they so choose.
The landlord is required to make repairs though. If they don't, you have the right to handle it yourself and either bill the landlord or deduct the cost from your rent – just make sure to hold onto the receipt.
Wherever you choose to rent, make sure to read the rental agreement so you know what is expected of you and the landlord, since the agreement can vary from place to place.
