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.
