Tips for Renting in Stone Mountain

Ready to call Stone Mountain your new home? You’ll love it here! But first, let's take a minute to get familiar with the local tenant laws.

Georgia does not have rent control laws, so once the lease period ends, your landlord has the legal right to increase rent at their discretion.

If repairs are required but the landlord fails to make them, you can repair it on your own and present the receipts for the cost to your landlord. The amount owed can then be deducted from your rent, unless the landlord decides to reimburse you directly.
