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.
