Why You Need This Lease Agreement

Running a dog training business in Georgia—whether for 'board and train' or private behavioral assessments—requires more than a standard commercial lease. You face unique risks ranging from noise complaints and animal waste management to significant liability under state dog bite statutes. A tailored lease ensures your training methods are protected, your facility usage is clearly defined under local zoning, and your liability is mitigated against claims of property damage or injury occurring during professional sessions.

A lease agreement serves as a legally binding contract that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both a landlord and tenant when a property is being rented. Its core purpose is to safeguard both parties' interests by clearly defining all terms related to the tenancy, including payment obligations, property use, and duration of the agreement.

Rental Risks This Lease Addresses

Dog Bite Liability

Including indemnity clauses and requiring clients to maintain their liability insurance to cover incidents during training.

Injury Claims

Requiring waivers of liability for injuries that may occur during training sessions, signed by the dog owner.

Rental Law in Georgia

O.C.G.A. § 13-5-30 — Georgia's Statute of Frauds which differs from common law by specifying formal requirements for certain contracts like those for the sale of goods over $500, agreements that cannot be performed within a year, or contracts for the sale of land
O.C.G.A. § 13-3-40 — Governs the consideration requirement in Georgia, allowing for both valuable consideration and good consideration (natural love and affection) for simple contracts, provided it is set out in writing and signed by the party to be charged.

Required Lease Provisions

For this lease agreement to be legally valid:

  • +Both parties must sign the lease agreement. Electronic signatures can be valid under the E-Sign Act.
  • +Depending on the state, some leases may require witness signatures or notarization, though this is less common for standard residential leases.
  • +The lease must comply with relevant state statutes, such as those governing rent control, deposit limits, and mandatory disclosures.
  • +Delivery of copies to all parties should be verifiable, especially if disputes about terms later arise.

Common mistakes to avoid:

  • !Failing to specify the lease term accurately, leading to disputes over tenancy duration.
  • !Not complying with state and local laws regarding security deposits, which can result in fines and penalties.
  • !Omitting maintenance and repair responsibilities, causing disputes over property condition upon vacating.
  • !Inadequate descriptions of the property, leading to ambiguity regarding what is included in the lease.
  • !Ambiguities or omissions within the termination clause, causing challenges when attempting to sever the lease early.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Does my landlord need to know I am training 'aggressive' dogs?

Yes. Failure to disclose the nature of your training, specifically behavioral modification for aggression, can lead to a breach of the 'Use of Premises' clause. Transparency helps ensure you are covered by the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act and prevents sudden lease termination.

02

Can I operate a 'Board and Train' facility under a Georgia standard commercial lease?

Standard leases often prohibit overnight animal occupancy. You must include a specific provision acknowledging the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) standards and ensuring the facility meets Georgia Department of Agriculture requirements for overnight boarding.

03

Who is liable if a dog bites someone on the leased property?

In Georgia, liability often follows the 'owner or keeper.' By including a specific Indemnity and Liability clause in your lease, you can define the boundaries of responsibility between the landlord, the trainer, and the dog owner to protect your business assets.
