Georgia's official Landlord-Tenant Handbook states that a tenant may end a tenancy at will by giving the landlord 30 days' notice. A written fixed-term lease ends, renews, or extends according to its terms; review every nonrenewal clause and do not leave before the term ends without separate lawful authority or written agreement.
