    There is not max percentage, that I am aware of in GA, and I have owned rental houses there for years. It is a free market state and rent can be raised to the level the market can handle.

    And 6.25 is not a high raise by any means, raises of 10 or more present is not uncommom at all,

    *** if you are on section 8, government paid rental housing, there may be some rules on increase on them.
