The most basic form is the lease. With the AAOA lease form, you provide the most important document to the tenancy. It is important that the lease contain no prohibited statutes. Georgia § 44-7-2. Parol contract creating landlord and tenant relationship; certain provisions prohibited; effect of provision for attorney’s fees, provides in part that:
(a) In any contract, lease, license agreement, or similar agreement, oral or written, for the use or rental of real property as a dwelling place, a landlord or a tenant may not waive, assign, transfer, or otherwise avoid any of the rights, duties, or remedies contained in the following provisions of law:
(1) Code Section 44-7-13, relating to the duties of a landlord as to repairs and improvements;
(2) Code Section 44-7-14, relating to the liability of a landlord for failure to repair;
(3) Ordinances adopted pursuant to Code Section 36-61-11;
(4) Article 3 of this chapter, relating to proceedings against tenants holding over;
(b) A provision for the payment by the tenant of the attorney’s fees of the landlord upon the breach of a rental agreement by the tenant, which provision is contained in a contract, lease, license agreement, or similar agreement, oral or written, for the use or rental of real property as a dwelling place shall be void unless the provision also provides for the payment by the landlord of the attorney’s fees of the tenant upon the breach of the rental agreement by the landlord.
