TL;DR

Look for long-term rentals on Myhome.ge and SS.ge, and use Booking.com for short stays. Review the lease before paying; if the landlord asks for the first and last month upfront, make sure the terms are clearly written into the contract.

For long-term rentals in Tbilisi, start with Myhome.ge, where you can filter apartments by district, budget and number of rooms before arranging a viewing with an owner or agent.

SS.ge is another local property-listing platform. Compare similar listings across platforms and do not transfer money before seeing the apartment and agreeing on rental terms.

For a long-term rental, ask for a written lease stating the apartment address, term, monthly rent, utility-payment arrangement and deposit-return conditions. If the owner requests the first and last month upfront, that requirement should be explicitly included in the lease.
