ATLANTA – State Representative Marvin Lim (D-Norcross) today announces that he has partnered with the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to provide language translations of the Georgia Landlord-Tenant Handbook.
“I am excited to have worked with the Department of Community Affairs to update and then—for the first time—provide translations for their incredibly critical Landlord-Tenant Handbook,” said Rep. Lim. “I am also thankful for the partnership with the UGA School of Law, the Georgia State University’s Center for Access to Justice and the Latino Community Fund for working with me to make this happen. We in the General Assembly have taken important steps in terms of landlord-tenant law, such as passage of the Safe at Home Act in 2024, but there is no substitute for people knowing their rights to be able to invoke them. I’m grateful we could take a step toward providing language access for this most-critical resource, for this go around in Spanish, and I look forward to doing more in the future.”
The Georgia Landlord-Tenant Handbook is designed to provide an overview and answer common questions about Georgia residential landlord-tenant law. Online versions are available in both English and in Spanish.
