Yes. While it seems to make common sense, a fairly new line of cases requires Georgia landlords to stay in compliance with local and county ordinances. tenants cannot counterclaim for this violation as the frequently do, because it is a violation to be enforced by the authority. However, it may provide the underpinning for a "constructive eviction" argument.  more
