Rent control rules in Duluth, GA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Rent control is PROHIBITED in Georgia. O.C.G.A. §44-7-19 preempts all local rent-control ordinances. Duluth cannot cap rent increases or regulate rental rates in any form.
Enacted in 1984, O.C.G.A. §44-7-19 explicitly bars any Georgia county or municipality from enacting or enforcing ordinances regulating rents on private residential property. Landlords may raise rent any amount at lease renewal with proper notice. This rent control rule under Duluth's rental property ordinances applies to properties within Duluth city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Duluth code enforcement directly or consult the official Georgia municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
