Renter's guide to McDonough, GA

If “quaint” and “small” are some of the words you'd use to describe your ideal place to live, look no further than McDonough, Georgia.

Here you'll have the best of small town life, while being only 35 miles from the big city of Atlanta – which is 11 times larger.

According to Safewise.com, McDonough is the 36th Safest City in Georgia, due in large part to its commitment to revitalizing its historic downtown and focus on economic development. AreaVibes.com called McDonough the 73rd Most Livable City in Georgia because of its cost of living, available amenities, and weather.

Speaking of weather, the average temperatures in McDonough range from a high of 91°F in July to a low of 33°F in January. With 214 sunny days every year and very little snow – less than an inch – it’s easy to see why so many people are flocking to the city.

Tips for renting in McDonough, GA

Moving to McDonough is much like moving to any other new place. That being said, there are also some specifics that you should be aware of.

If your new landlord requires a security deposit, you have the right to inspect the unit before moving in. They should also provide a list of any problems or damages to the unit.

But once you sign that lease, you're locked in. Some states offer a 72-hour back-out period, but not Georgia.

On the plus side, Georgia does have a “repair and deduct” law that gives you the right to hire someone to do repairs if your landlord fails to provide them in a timely manner. You can then deduct the cost of the repair from your rent.
