Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
Return of security deposit
What is the law regarding security deposits? If a prospective tenant gives a security deposit and then decides not to rent the property (and never signs the complete lease), does that person forfeit the deposit?

Re: Return of security deposit
I would need more information, but if you haven't signed a lease then the security deposit should be returned.
