Georgia has no statute requiring a landlord to give advance notice before entering a rental unit. Entry rights and any notice period are governed entirely by the written lease. Where the lease is silent, Georgia courts generally recognize a landlord's right of reasonable access, but no statutory notice figure applies.
Georgia's Landlord and Tenant chapter (O.C.G.A. Title 44, Ch. 7) imposes no statutory notice requirement for landlord entry — there is no Georgia equivalent of the 24-hour or 48-hour entry rules found in many other states. Whether, when, and with how much notice a landlord may enter to inspect, make repairs, or show the unit is determined by the lease agreement. Lease provisions commonly require reasonable advance notice and entry at reasonable times. A landlord may always enter in a genuine emergency to protect the premises. Because the duty to repair under O.C.G.A. § 44-7-13 obligates the landlord to maintain the property, leases typically reserve a right of access to carry out that duty.
No specific statutory penalty. Remedies for improper entry are contractual: a tenant may sue for breach of the lease or for trespass if a landlord enters without authority, and a landlord denied access reserved by the lease may pursue lease remedies.
