Can my landlord hire a real estate agent to show the condo I rent in GA?
I’m at the end of a 1 year lease and I live in GA, USA. My landlord wants to show the condo for sale while I’m living here, but he won’t be the one showing the apartment–a real estate agent will be showing the condo. In Georgia he does not need to give notice that he is entering the condo, but does that transfer to a real estate agent as well?
Check out state law, LL/tenant, notice and entry.
That’s ODD if GA doesn’t require notice. The majority of states require advance notice to tenant, not permission of tenant.
A real estate agent is an agent of the owner or LL, and LL may generally transfer to that agent their same rights. But sometimes there are limitations.
Do you have a current lease now? READ it, as it may require advance notice even if GA does not.
If you are renewing lease, get some protections for yourself in new lease, requiring 24 hours notice, agent must be bonded, etc.

Yes, the real estate agent acts as an agent of the landlord and has the same privileges. You may want to meet the agent. If they are a true professional, they will make every effort to call and give you notice before they show it, after all, they want it to look as nice as possible when a potential renter sees it.
