Not sure what GA law says, but federal law says that would most likely be illegal. Find a local employment law attorney and use a free consultation to go over more details in private.

To avoid paying pro-rated rent I must give 30 days notice to leave. How can I do that if I know exactly 30 days before if my rent will increase? Do I have to find a place to live in 1 day?
