Sublease Agreement

Tenants Right to Sublet

Tenants can sublet their rental property without the landlord’s consent unless the lease states otherwise or the property is government-owned. If landlord approval is required, tenants can use a Landlord Consent Form. [1]

Short-Term Rental / Lodgings Tax

  • In 2022, Ordinance 22-7 banned rentals of 30 to 90 days outside resort zones. A judge recently allowed existing operators to continue while the law is reviewed.[2]
  • Statewide, short-term rentals (less than 180 days) are subject to a 10.25% Transient Accommodations Tax.[3]
  • Counties can add their own tax on top of the 4.5% General Excise Tax.[4]
  • Some may require permits that will add to the costs.[5]

Tenants Right to Sublet

Tenants in Georgia need written permission from their landlord to sublease their unit. If the lease is unclear about the subletting rules, use a Landlord Consent Form to make sure there will not be any issues. [1]

Short-Term Rental / Lodgings Tax

Short-term rentals (STRs) in Georgia are regulated by local governments, as there are no state-level rules. Counties and cities set their own qualifications, taxes, and fees.[2]

Georgia STR Taxes and Fees:

  • 4% state sales tax.[3]
  • $5/night state hotel/motel fee.[4]
  • County sales tax (varies by location).
  • City sales tax (varies by location).
  • Some areas impose additional hotel or tourism taxes.
  • Get a business license  through the city clerk’s office.
