How to use this

This sheet summarizes; it does not replace the statute or legal advice. Georgia has no dedicated park act and no rent cap, and several common protections (sell-in-place, entrance-fee bans, utility caps, relocation help) simply don't exist by statute — gaps this guide flags honestly. Georgia is comparatively landlord-favorable, so your written lease and the park rules are especially important. Start there, then check the cited section for your issue.
