The state
of Georgia does provide a set of rights and responsibilities for both landlords and tenants.
Landlords are responsible for providing a safe and habitable dwelling, maintaining the dwelling,
choosing tenants and obtaining rent from tenants.
Part of providing a safe
and habitable dwelling is keeping the building free of termites. Termites may destroy a building
and thus prevent the tenant from having a safe and/or habitable environment. If a landlord is
going to spray for termites, the landlord must notify the tenant in advance. A landlord cannot
simply enter the premises without appropriate notice. Notification is also necessary as the
chlordane used for termite control may cause health issues.
