Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
Hi,
Do tenants of a gas station need to provide the landlord of the property with contracts they enter into for the gas tanks with gas companies? Under the signed contract, no mention of providing notice is explicitly stated. The only mention that seems vaguely relevant is a clause that talks about "alterations, additions, and improvements" and mentions that no non-structural alteration, additions, and improvements should be withheld from the the Landlord. Please advise what Georgia Law requires in this scenario. The gas contract is a basic gas provider contractor with standard terms for providing gas to the tanks. Landlord owns the tanks and lease states that Landlord must maintain underground tanks.

Georgia law does not require such disclosure. Only the terms of the lease dictate.

State laws and leases only cover a small portion of a business relationship. Does your lease specifically say or require you to use that particular supplier? Probably not, yet you can still do it. The landlord has an obvious interest in who is putting gas in their underground tanks, and if it is just a standard contract you would have had no problem giving them a copy. If you don't want a good working relationship with your landlord, expect them to act the same way toward you when you want something.
