NEW LAW: Property Management Law for Out-of-State Owners
Georgia's recent passage of House Bill 399 (<-link to BILL 388) significantly impacts absentee property owners of single-family homes and duplexes. This new law, effective July 1, 2025, now requires out-of-state landlords to engage a Georgia-licensed real estate broker to manage their properties.
Furthermore, if that broker also resides out-of-state, they must employ at least one Georgia resident to handle tenant communications and property concerns. This legislation aims to enhance tenant responsiveness and accountability for maintenance issues, making it crucial for non-resident owners to ensure compliance.
For absentee Georgia landlords, understanding and adhering to HB 399 is paramount to avoid potential legal issues and maintain smooth operations. This new requirement highlights the importance of having a reliable, local presence to manage your rental investments

Georgia Eviction Law: Preparing for Court Under New Rules
Preparing for Georgia Dispossessory Court
Georgia's eviction process, especially under the new House Bill 404 (Safe at Home Act), now requires landlords to provide specific notice before filing. For non-payment of rent, a three day notice to pay or vacate is now mandatory. Meticulous documentation is crucial: gather photos of damages, records of lease violations, and all
payment history.
Be prepared to present a short concise opening statement in court, and understand you may need to request the tenant pay disputed rent into the Court Registry.
A successful eviction is just the start. Stone House Realty offers post-eviction services to prepare your property for its next phase. Whether re-renting or selling, we can help facilitate necessary repairs and ensure your property is market-ready.
