Landlords shall have a general lien on the property of the debtor which is subject to levy and sale, which general lien shall date from the time of the levy of a distress warrant to enforce the general lien. (Ga. Code Ann., § 44-14-341) The general liens of landlords shall be inferior to liens for taxes and to the general and special liens of laborers but shall rank with other liens and with each other according to date, the date being from the time of levying a distress warrant. (Ga. Code Ann., § 44-14-342)

Landlords also have special liens for rent on crops grown on land rented from them. This special lien is superior to all other liens except liens for taxes. O.C.G.A. § 44-14-341.
