🏘️ Georgia landlords: buying your 11th rental could change how you’re legally allowed to hold tenant deposits.
Platinum Property Management explains the escrow and surety bond threshold that catches growing portfolios off guard:
✅ The small-landlord exemption ends at 11 units
✅ Hiring a paid manager ends it immediately, at any unit count
✅ Your two options: a dedicated escrow account or a surety bond
✅ Wrongly withheld deposits can mean triple damages plus attorney’s fees
✅ Spouse and minor children’s units count toward your total
Scaling across Cu***ng or Metro Atlanta? Platinum Property Management keeps owners compliant as they grow. 📈
