Just cause eviction rules in Lawrenceville, GA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Georgia is an at-will state with NO just-cause eviction requirement. Landlords may terminate a month-to-month tenancy with 60 days' notice (O.C.G.A. §44-7-7) for any legal reason.
Neither Lawrenceville nor any Georgia city may impose a just-cause eviction ordinance because residential landlord-tenant matters are governed by the Georgia Landlord-Tenant Act (O.C.G.A. Title 44, Chapter 7). State law requires 60 days' notice from landlord to end a month-to-month tenancy and 30 days from tenant. Fixed-term leases end on the stated date without notice. Retaliatory and discriminatory evictions remain prohibited by state/federal law.
No city fine. Remedy for wrongful eviction is civil suit under state landlord-tenant law.
