GA Residential Lease Agreement

[Nathan Trail]

I'm looking for a template to use for a lease agreement in GA, that is not associated with the Realtors association as I am not a realtor.  I want to contract with my tenants, but I don't think I can use the Realtors template.  Anyone know where to find one that is not on one of the "forms" sites like rocketlawyer?  Or could send me one in email?

If you are going to do this yourself and not a manager I would highly recommend you seek a local real estate attorney.  In fact, if I were you I would change my question and search for an attorney VS a lease.  As Mitch said above a lease is but one document you will need.  Just do a search and you will find hundreds of people who have all sorts of issues that relate back to this moment, the moment you are in right now.  Yes, working with an attorney may be expensive in the short run but hundreds of people here (me included) wished they had all the proper doc's in the beginning because it would have saved so much time, hassle and money.  out of pocket, and lost opportunity funds.  

The attorney will have all the docs you need and can give you the timeframes and rules regarding each.  They can also help you evict a tenant if/when needed and you are best served by using documents and processes that person gave you.
