Ashley,Georgia does not have statutes on rent withholding or repair & deduct remedies for tenants, but Georgia courts recognize a tenant's right to repair and deduct.For more information, see the Georgia Landlord Tenant Handbook, 2017, Georgia Department of Community Affairs.Also, check your local housing ordinances for any city or county rules that cover tenant rights when it comes to repairs.

There is no REAL legal documents for you and you have to go to court in hopes of getting something out.And I wouldn't go to court if I invest 5k because the court will cost me money too.On the other hand I can use this 5k for down payment to buy a property and rent it and let the renter build me equity with solid legal paper work.

They also have many forms available for download on their website for members (lease addendum, 5-Day Notice, and much more) as well as resources (such as an eviction guide which has a timeline based on the local courts and laws).Finally, my Apartment Association charges $13 for tenant criminal/credit background checks which is pretty cheap, IMO. 

However, many tenants, legal-aid attorneys and other housing experts worry what will happen to those behind on rent once courts finally reopen.
