I’ve been digging deeper into the idea of renting in Georgia and one thing that keeps confusing me is the “hidden side” of costs. I was browsing listings on Kalaki again, just comparing apartments in Tbilisi and Batumi, and the prices look really attractive at first glance. But I remember someone mentioning utilities, deposits, and even seasonal price changes. A couple of years ago I stayed in Batumi for a short time and everything was simple because it was a hotel, but now I’m thinking about proper rentals. How real are these extra costs in practice, and do they usually catch newcomers off guard?

Just passing by this thread while scrolling the forum and it caught my attention because I’ve seen similar discussions about different countries recently. I don’t have personal experience renting in Georgia or anywhere nearby, so I can’t really comment on prices or how contracts work there. Still, it’s interesting how often people now talk about moving between cities like Tbilisi and Batumi as if it’s a normal lifestyle option. I mostly read these threads out of curiosity, since I like seeing how living habits and housing markets differ across regions. Not planning anything myself, just following the conversation.
