Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

It depends on the terms of the lease, whether it is a written lease or a verbal one. If you did not agree to a deposit, then you do not owe it. I don�t understand your second question.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.

If you didn't agree to pay a deposit, then none is owed.

I'm not sure if your second question related to the first about the deposit or if you are referring to your obligation to pay rent to the landlord. If there is no written lease, you must still pay rent according to your oral agreement with the landlord.

Best of luck.****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******

If you are an oral, month to month, the landlord CAN require a deposit, raise the rent, or change other terms. They simply need to provide adequate notice of the change in terms so you can make the choice to move or accept the new terms. Normally, that is 60 days.
