HB 834 amends Code Section 19-13-3 and Chapter 7 of Title 44 of the O.C.G.A. to allow a tenant who has received a criminal or civil family violence order to terminate his or her lease by providing his or her landlord with written notice and a certified copy of such order. The tenant is still liable for the rent prorated until the effective termination date, as well as any delinquent or unpaid rent owed to the landlord prior to the termination. However, the tenant is not liable for any other fees, rent, or damages due to the early termination, and if all terms of the agreement are followed, the tenant is entitled to the return of his or her security deposit and last month’s rent. Includes language from SB 443 dealing with security deposits. Tenants who did not inspect the premises after vacancy or were not present for the landlord’s inspection and, in either case, did not request a copy of the landlord’s final damage list shall have the right to dispute the damages assessed by the landlord.
