Renting in Georgia, especially Tbilisi and Batumi, is fast, informal and largely conducted in cash or USD, with most apartments rented fully furnished. Newcomers typically find a place via local listing portals, agents or expat Facebook groups, sign a short written contract, and pay a deposit of one to two months' rent.

Frais d'agence : By custom the agency/realtor commission is paid by the landlord, but agents increasingly ask the tenant to pay an extra fee as well; confirm who pays before viewing.
Déclaration de domicile
Aliens holding a Georgian residence permit must register their place of residence at a territorial office of the Public Service Development Agency (Ministry of Justice; services are delivered through Public Service Halls), generally within one month. This address registration is mandatory in order to obtain a Georgian identity (residence) card. It is not required for visa-free short stays.
Vos droits en tant que locataire
Residential leases are governed by the Civil Code of Georgia (1997, the property-lease / "ქირავნობა" provisions, broadly Articles 531-575); a written contract is standard and gives both parties the clearest protection, including agreed deposit-return and termination terms. Notarization is optional and there is no general rent control, so rent and conditions are set freely by contract.
Bon à savoir
- Apartments are usually rented fully furnished, so you can move in immediately.
- Strong short- and mid-term market: Airbnb monthly stays plus active local portals and expat Facebook groups make 1-3 month furnished rentals easy to find.
- Leasing is fast and informal, often arranged within days and without a residence permit or local income proof.
- Listing sites such as myhome.ge and ss.ge offer English-language interfaces.
À surveiller
- Many listings are managed by agents who may not be the owner; verify ownership via the public real-estate registry and document the apartment's condition (photos/video) before paying.
- Clarify the agency fee in advance, as some agents try to charge the tenant an extra fee on top of the landlord's commission.
- Insist on a written contract specifying rent, deposit amount, deposit-return conditions and early-termination terms; request an English translation if it is in Georgian to avoid deposit disputes.
- If you hold a residence permit, register your address at a Public Service Hall within the legal deadline, as it is needed for an ID (residence) card.
