# O.C.G.A. § 44-14-344. Special lien for rent in favor of transferee of rent contract; when lien arises.

Whenever any written contract for rent is transferred by the landlord by written assignment before the maturity of the crops on the lands rented, the special lien in favor of the landlord shall, on the maturity of the crops, arise in favor of the transferee of such rent contract in the same manner as it would have done in favor of the landlord had no transfer been made.
