Can a landlord require a tenant to be responsible for repairs even if they are not at fault in the state of Georgia?

Likely yes, but it depends on the type of repair. Minor "wear and tear" repairs are generally held to be the responsibility of the lessee. If you're talking about major repairs (replacing appliances, roof damage, structural issues), then those would fall upon the landlord.

In GA can a landlord require a residential tenant to pay the first 55 of any repairs if it is stated in the signed rental agreement?
In most states a residential landlord must keep his rental property in repair and in good condition at all times. The tenant must pay for any repairs which resulted in damage, abuse, or any other condition that is beyond the normal wear and tear of the unit. In most states, any type of clause that states that tenant must pay any part of repairs, regardless of wear and tear, is considered unconscionable and may not be enforced. I doubt that Georgia is any different, but I would check with the legal services Bureau in your area in Georgia to find out for sure. I am sure that your state has a legal aid Society or some type of legal resources for those who cannot afford to hire an attorney.

Is the landlord responsible for the roach infestation?
It depends on two things..which can vary from state to state 1.The landlord tenant laws in your state... 2. The lease agreement. Some States require that the landlord be responsible for all forms of pest control (ie) roaches,rats,mice,bees,bed bugs,ants,spiders,ect ect.. Some States only require the landlord to insure that a rental unit is free from all pests before renting the unit and then any further pest control is the responsibility of the tenant... Lease agreements can also have stipulations for pest control as well according to the laws of the state....(ie) A landlord may be responsible for the control of mice,rats and termites but may not be responsible for roaches,bed bugs and ants... So check your lease and the laws of your state....
