What a rental agent costs in Tbilisi

RENTALS.ge, RE/MAX Realty Park and Tbilisi Home charge renters nothing because the landlord pays them, and Flip Flat takes 0% commission from tenants. On the owner’s side, RE/MAX Realty Park charges 50% or one full month’s rent for a long-term placement, and Tbilisi Home charges one month’s rent on a 12-month lease or half a month’s rent on a 6-month lease. ExpatHub.GE bills the tenant instead, taking 85% of a month’s rent and no less than USD 850 plus VAT.

Paperwork is priced separately. Tbilisi Home drafts a lease for USD 200, and registering the lease adds a state fee that starts at 150 GEL.

What to check before signing a lease in Tbilisi

Agent’s fee. Find out whether the landlord or you pays it, and how much, before the first viewing.
Room count. Georgian listings count the living room as a room, so a “3 room” flat usually has two bedrooms.
Ownership. Confirm the person signing owns the flat. Flip Flat’s agents check ownership documents, Tbilisi Home checks title, liens, tax status and mortgage for USD 180, and a Public Registry extract costs 13 GEL when ordered online.
Lease term. A 1 to 3 month contract is harder to agree than the usual 6 to 12 months and can cost 20 to 30% more.
Money at signing. Expect the first and last month’s rent plus a refundable deposit, and have the lease set out how the deposit is returned.
Language and pets. Ask for a Georgian-English lease, and write any agreement about pets into it.

Types of rental agent in Tbilisi

RENTALS.ge and RE/MAX Realty Park, both paid by the landlord, work with embassy staff, diplomats and corporate tenants. Realtor.ge, Home24 and Top Broker also sell property, and each adds something to a rental, from registering the lease to a bot that flags new listings. ExpatHub.GE is a tenant’s agent you pay yourself, with lawyers who review the lease, which suits people renting from abroad. Avezor began as a legal company and drafts leases in-house. Flip Flat suits renters who want to scan owner listings on Telegram with agents checking the documents, and Caucasus Elite Estate works on high-end homes in districts such as Vake, Vera and Mtatsminda.

Questions

Do tenants pay a rental agent fee in Tbilisi?

Tenants in Tbilisi pay no agent fee at agencies the landlord pays. RENTALS.ge, RE/MAX Realty Park and Tbilisi Home charge renters nothing, and Flip Flat takes 0% commission from tenants. At RE/MAX Realty Park the owner pays 50% or one full month's rent instead. ExpatHub.GE works the other way round. It represents only the tenant, takes no landlord commission and charges the renter 85% of one month's rent, at least USD 850 plus VAT.

How long does a rental agent take to find a flat in Tbilisi?

ExpatHub.GE typically finds a rental property in Tbilisi within 7 to 14 days, depending on the market. Flip Flat says its Telegram bot and team can cut a search to 1 to 2 days by sending new owner listings that match your filters and arranging the viewings. Top Broker's Telegram bot watches listing websites around the clock and alerts you to new matches.

How much money do I need up front to rent a flat in Tbilisi?

To rent a flat in Tbilisi, budget for the first and last month's rent plus a refundable security deposit. RE/MAX Realty Park lists those as its standard terms for long-term leases and sets the deposit at 1 to 2 months' rent, and Caucasus Elite Estate gives one month's rent as the usual deposit. On a flat at USD 1,000 a month, that means at least USD 3,000 at signing, plus any agent fee you pay yourself.

How long is a rental contract in Tbilisi?

Long-term leases in Tbilisi usually run 6 to 12 months. Flip Flat and RE/MAX Realty Park both give that range, and Caucasus Elite Estate says leases are typically signed for 6 or 12 months. A contract of 1 to 3 months is harder to secure because landlords avoid frequent changes of tenant, and Flip Flat notes that where one is agreed the rent can be 20 to 30% higher.

How much does lease registration cost in Tbilisi?

Registering a lease as a right to immovable property costs 150 GEL at the National Agency of Public Registry if you can wait 4 working days, 270 GEL for a 1 working day turnaround and 350 GEL for same-day registration. Confirming the parties' signatures adds 7 GEL. Realtor.ge and Home24 include registration help in their services, and ExpatHub.GE notes that registration and notary fees may be added to its search fee.

Can I rent a flat in Tbilisi before I arrive?

You can rent a flat in Tbilisi before you arrive. ExpatHub.GE talks through neighbourhoods with you by Zoom, views flats for you first, shows them by video call and can complete the rental before you reach Georgia. Caucasus Elite Estate offers video-call viewings and remote signing for tenants moving from abroad.
