Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Re: Which Lease Form?

There is no legal difference. Of course, one may be geared toward an apartment and one toward a single family house. There are a few laws that cannot be contracted out of, i.e. changed, by the terms of the lease, but otherwise, you and the tenant are free to dictate your own terms of the lease agreement.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Re: Which Lease Form?

I am not aware of any difference. A lease is a lease, although my form may differ from another attorney's. The landlord/tenant law of GA is included in O.G.C.A. Sec. 44-7-1 et seq. You can search the GA code at http://www.lawskills.com/code/ga/
