What a valid Georgia lease violation (cure or quit) notice includes

  • • Full names of all tenants and the rental property address
  • • The landlord’s name and mailing address
  • • A specific description of the lease violation and the deadline to cure it or vacate
  • • Service at least as required by your lease (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-50)
  • • A certificate of service recording how and when the notice was delivered — courts routinely ask for this

NoticeKit generates all of the above, computes your actual notice period, and warns you — citing O.C.G.A. § 44-7-50 — if your dates fall short of the Georgia minimum.
