FAQ
The choice of location depends on your infrastructure needs. Vake is known for its high concentration of parks and business centers. Saburtalo is the largest residential district, offering an extensive metro network and well-developed commercial infrastructure. Vera and Mtatsminda represent the historic city center, with a high density of tourist areas and older housing stock. For more affordable options in new residential developments, the districts of Didube, Isani, and Gldani are particularly relevant.
At Flip Flat, we help you choose an apartment in a location that fits your work, lifestyle, and everyday needs.
According to the Civil Code of Georgia, a real estate rental agreement must be concluded in written form and does not require mandatory notarization to be legally valid. The signatures of the landlord and tenant are sufficient. It is recommended to prepare the document in two languages (Georgian and Russian or English). The agreement should include the passport details of both parties, the property’s cadastral code from the state registry, the rental term, the monthly rent, and the amount of the security deposit.
At Flip Flat, we guide you through the entire transaction and handle all critical checks — from property ownership documents to deposit return conditions. Our goal is to make the process transparent and ensure the agreement protects your interests throughout the entire rental period.

The apartment search process in Tbilisi can be reduced to 1–2 days thanks to search automation and delegating routine tasks to the Flip Flat team. Instead of manually monitoring thousands of listings, tenants use a Telegram bot as direct access to a database of verified properties.
Key advantages:
Key advantages:
- Instant matching: The bot immediately provides apartments that match your criteria (district, budget, infrastructure), eliminating irrelevant listings and the need to contact multiple owners manually.

- Verified listings only: You avoid dealing with fake ads and outdated offers commonly found on public platforms. Flip Flat aggregates only real, verified properties, removing informational noise and unnecessary calls.
- Full support: The Flip Flat team handles communication with property owners and arranges viewings, ensuring a fast and secure transition to the move-in stage.
The standard term for long-term rentals in our database is 6 to 12 months. Securing a contract for a shorter period (e.g., 1–3 months) is more challenging because landlords are reluctant to have a frequent turnover of tenants, or the rental cost increases by 20-30% in such cases.
Yes, renting an excellent apartment with pets in Tbilisi is completely realistic if professionals handle the search and negotiations. Searching for housing with cats or dogs on your own in the Georgian real estate market often causes difficulties due to frequent rejections from landlords.
For our agency, finding pet-friendly options is a standard and everyday task. We know how to properly build a dialogue with landlords, use strong arguments in favor of tenants, and find compromises. We clearly fix all conditions of living with animals, as well as transparent parameters of the security deposit, in the official lease agreement. This completely protects your interests and saves you from long, fruitless searches.

Official settlements for long-term real estate rentals in Georgia are made in the national currency — Georgian Lari (GEL) — via cash payments or bank transfers. We recommend transparent and secure formats of interaction:
- Domestic bank transfers. Direct transfer of funds to the landlord's Georgian account (for example, at TBC Bank or Bank of Georgia) with the issuance of an official receipt.
- Cash payment. A completely legal method, in which the transfer of cash in lari must be fixed by the signatures of the parties in the contract itself or accompanied by an acceptance certificate.
- International payment systems. Official money transfer services, if such a format is agreed upon by the parties and is convenient for settlements.
Yes, furnishing an apartment to meet the individual needs of the tenant is a standard and common practice in the Tbilisi market. Often, owners intentionally leave one of the rooms (for example, a second bedroom) vacant, understanding that everyone's needs are different: some require children's furniture, while others need an isolated workspace.
If the apartment you like lacks critically important appliances (air conditioner, washing machine) or furniture, this issue is resolved at the stage of discussing the terms of the deal. The main advantage of working with our agency is that we handle these negotiations ourselves and confirm a detailed list of what the owner undertakes to purchase.

When renting real estate in Georgia, three different financial instruments are used, each performing its own legal function and protecting against specific risks:
- Earnest money (booking fee): A small fixed amount paid before signing the main contract, confirming the seriousness of the tenant's intentions. As soon as the owner receives the earnest money, they remove the apartment listings from all platforms, completely stop viewings for other candidates, and reserve the housing for you. When the contract is drawn up, this amount is counted toward the total cost.
- Last month's rent: A mandatory payment made at the time of check-in (along with the first month's rent). This is not a security deposit for the property, but specifically an advance payment (prepayment) for the final month of your stay under the contract. In this last month, you physically no longer pay anything to the owner.
- Deposit (security deposit): A refundable amount held by the owner throughout the entire lease term. It serves as a financial guarantee for the safety of furniture, appliances, and the interior, and also goes toward covering final utility bills upon your departure. If the housing is handed over in its original condition, the deposit is returned to you in full.

I rented an apartment with the help of the agency. I received full support throughout the process, an objective assessment of neighborhoods for living, and assistance with document verification and paperwork. Thank you!
Very grateful! They found me an apartment with a pet in just one day, which is a difficult task. In a good neighborhood and with a dedicated workspace. Thank you.
Good afternoon! We would like to thank the Flip Flat team, especially Emil. They found an apartment for us within 2 days, took into account all our preferences, and offered an affordable price. We rented the apartment remotely, and throughout the entire process they stayed in touch with us. Before finalizing the rental, they provided us with several apartment options. The team has a fairly large selection, so there is plenty to choose from, which is very important. Everything is thought through down to the smallest details.
Arriving in beautiful Georgia for the first time, we were able to move straight into our cozy apartment ❤️ We signed the lease despite the fact that we arrived at night — Emil waited for us to help with the move-in. The level of client-oriented service is extremely high!
Thank you very much for making the apartment search so easy and effortless for us. We will definitely continue working with you in the future ❤️

I would like to thank realtor Giorgi for his professional work. We viewed several apartments with him — he dedicated a lot of time to us and calmly guided us through the entire process.
It was especially valuable that when we decided to отказаться from one option already at the contract approval stage, he reacted with full understanding and, without any pressure, continued helping us with the search.
Also, following his recommendation, we agreed to view an apartment that initially did not impress us based on the photos. In reality, it turned out to be the best option, and we moved in the very same day. We really liked both the apartment and the owner.
You can clearly feel that his focus is on achieving the right result, not just closing a deal. We are very grateful and can confidently recommend him. By the way, we found him ourselves through a recommendation from friends.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the agency, and especially to Giorgi! Despite being warned about how difficult it can be to find an apartment in Tbilisi (where both price and quality are at a high level), we still managed to find the perfect apartment for me.
Giorgi responded to all my questions very promptly and in a friendly manner — even the silliest ones 😁 He explained every clause of the contract in detail, and the cherry on top was that he met me at the airport at 4 a.m. and took me to see the apartment 🍒
Many thanks to him and the entire team for the amazing work you do! ❤️
