Landlord economics — what actually stays in your pocket
An individual renting out residential space pays 5% on gross rent instead of the 20% income tax. What remains after that: vacancy, management and repairs. Worked example with an average Tbilisi flat (50 m²):
- Flat price
- $69,250
- Rent / month
- $500 / month
- Gross yield
- 8.7%
- 5% tax / year
- $300
- Costs 15% / year
- $900
- Net income / year
- $4,800
- Net yield
- 6.9%
The 5% applies to gross rent — expenses are not deductible under this regime. Annual property tax applies once family income exceeds ₾40,000. Details: rs.ge.
Renter rights — the Civil Code
- The deposit is capped at two months’ rent — a landlord cannot demand more.
- An indefinite lease ends with three months’ notice — for either side.
- No law caps the rent itself — the market sets the price, so compare the district average before you sign.
- Put the contract in writing: term, amount, who pays utilities, repair obligations.
Daily rent — seasonal and unlicensed
As of 2026, daily rentals in Tbilisi need no licence — the same rules apply as to long-term rent. Batumi is seasonal: peak summer demand, empty winters, so do not annualise a summer nightly rate.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an apartment cost to rent in Tbilisi in 2026?
The city average is ≈ $10.0/m² per month (May 2026), so a 50 m² flat rents for ≈ $500. Vake runs $13.8/m² (50 m² ≈ $690), Gldani and Samgori $8.4/m² (≈ $420). Exact district figures are in the table above.
What tax does a landlord pay on rent?
An individual pays 5% on gross residential rent — a special regime instead of the 20% income tax, with no expense deductions. Annual property tax applies once family income exceeds ₾40,000.
Which district has the highest rental yield?
Cheaper districts yield more: Gldani and Samgori run ≈ 9.6% gross versus ≈ 5.9% in Vake. But prices grow fastest in the centre (Vake +12.2% y/y) — a choice between yield and growth.
What rights does a tenant have?
Under the Civil Code the deposit cannot exceed two months’ rent, an indefinite lease ends on three months’ notice, and there is no legal rent cap. Always put the contract in writing.
Is renting a flat out daily worth it?
Gross income can be higher, but so are the costs: check-ins, cleaning, commissions, empty nights. Tbilisi requires no licence; in Batumi demand is seasonal and winter occupancy drops sharply.
