Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

Greetings,

The first thing you should do is consult the lease agreement you have with your former landlord. Frequently, such an agreement will specify whether the lease is binding upon successors or if it is to be terminated upon the death of a party. If the lease is silent, then generally speaking, to avoid a claim against the landlord's estate, the heirs will probably have to provide you notice as specified in the lease.

Moreover, you shall not rely on the information I am providing you, as it is only for your general knowledge and educational purposes. Consider it a good first step in your knowledge acquisition, but not legal advice. Indeed, my analysis is based on the extremely limited facts you have given me, and new facts could substantially alter any answer I give.
