What is the purpose of the Demand for Possession form?

This Demand for Possession is designed for landlords in the State of Georgia whose tenants have fallen behind on rent payments. The form serves as an official notice to inform tenants of their obligations and the consequences of nonpayment.

Tenant Notice and Compliance Period

The tenant is required to pay the outstanding rent balance within three days of receiving the Demand or vacate the property. This three-day period offers the tenant a final opportunity to resolve the issue by either settling the overdue amount or surrendering possession of the premises.

Landlord's Legal Rights

If the tenant does not comply with the Demand by either paying the rent or giving up possession within the specified timeframe, the landlord is entitled to begin the eviction process through legal action.

Service of Notice Documentation

Included with this Demand for Possession is a Service of Notice form. Landlords should use this form to record how and when the Notice was delivered to the tenant, ensuring proper documentation for any potential legal proceedings.

Availability and Intended Use
