Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
security deposit
in the state of ga, rent can't be deducted from the security deposity. but if the tenant asks the landlord to take part out, by email, is that binding and ok? or can the tenant come back and sue for not returning all the deposit? or should the tenant put it on paper, have someone else sign it as a witness, and send? would that be binding and ok for the landlord to return security deposit minus that missing rent?

Re: security deposit
The e-mail would probably be sufficient evidence of the consent. Either way, notice of how the security deposit money was used is required to be sent within one month after move out date. This should include rent.
