Just cause eviction rules in Roswell, GA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Georgia is a no-just-cause-required eviction state. Landlords in Fulton County may terminate month-to-month tenancies with 60 days notice (landlord) or 30 days (tenant) under O.C.G.A. §44-7-7.
Georgia O.C.G.A. §44-7-7 allows landlords to terminate month-to-month tenancies with 60 days written notice; tenants need only 30 days. Fixed-term leases end at expiration without notice unless lease requires it. Just-cause is required only for evictions during the term — nonpayment, lease violation, or hold-over. Eviction filings go through Magistrate Court (Fulton County Magistrate Court). No locally enacted just-cause or rent-control ordinances exist; Georgia HB 311 (2024) preempts local rent control.
