ATLANTA — Georgia Rep. Imani Barnes, D-Tucker, unveiled proposed renter-safety legislation known as Miya’s Law at a Sept. 24 news conference at Liberty Plaza outside the Georgia State Capitol.

The proposal would require landlords to give tenants at least 24 hours’ notice before entering a rental unit for inspections, repairs, improvements, services or property showings. Barnes plans to introduce the bill during Georgia’s 2027 legislative session.
