Shows the maximum lawful cash a landlord may require at signing, being first month rent plus a deposit capped at two months rent.", "legal_basis": "Since 1 July 2024 a Georgia landlord may not demand or receive a security deposit exceeding two months rent, under O.C.G.A. 44-7-30.1, for leases entered into or renewed on or after that date. Refundable deposits count together toward the cap; non-refundable fees are separate and are not counted. Georgia does not cap application or administration fees, and those are not included here.", "note": "These are lawful maximums, not typical amounts, and most landlords ask for less. Rent figures are multi-source ranges from named aggregators, not survey findings, so the derived totals inherit that uncertainty. The rent_basis and rent_source_count fields carry through from the source dataset.
