Self-help demand overview
A written Georgia Three-Business-Day Notice to Vacate or Pay helps document the landlord, tenant, rental property, amounts owed, notice date, deadline, sealed-envelope posting, and records to keep before any dispossessory filing.
Georgia’s covered nonpayment notice is not rent-only: O.C.G.A. § 44-7-50(c) covers rent, late fees, utilities, and other charges owed to the landlord. It applies to covered residential leases entered into or renewed on or after July 1, 2024.
A notice is not a completed eviction judgment. If the tenant does not pay or deliver possession after proper notice, a landlord may still need to follow the Georgia dispossessory court process before possession can change.

The notice should be posted in a sealed envelope conspicuously on the tenant’s door, plus delivered by any additional method required by the lease. Do not treat the #10 envelope as a generic mail-only service method.
No. The HB 404 three-business-day notice rule applies to covered residential leases entered into or renewed on or after July 1, 2024. Older unrenewed leases, tenancies at will, nonresidential tenancies, and public or subsidized housing may require different handling.
