Rent control rules in Suwanee, GA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Rent control is prohibited statewide by O.C.G.A. §44-7-19. Suwanee cannot cap rent increases or establish rent stabilization. Landlords may raise rent any amount with proper notice at lease renewal.
Georgia's statewide preemption on rent control has been in place since 1984 and is among the strictest in the US. Month-to-month rent increases require 60 days' written notice. Fixed-term leases cannot have rent raised mid-term. No local program (voluntary stabilization, tax incentives) is permitted to circumvent the preemption.
