Renting out an apartment in Georgia is a lucrative yet risky endeavor. Property owners often face challenges such as non-payment of rent, property damage, or difficulties in evicting a tenant. To avoid these risks, qualified legal services and a properly drafted contract are essential. If you require an experienced lawyer to protect your interests, you have come to the right place.

In this article, we discuss why a generic contract downloaded from the internet is insufficient and why you need professional assistance.

Why is an Apartment Lease Agreement Necessary?

Many landlords rent out apartments based on verbal agreements, which is a major mistake. Legal consultation will help you understand that without a written document, proving your case in court is nearly impossible.

A properly drafted apartment lease agreement must regulate:

• A precise payment schedule and terms.

• An acceptance-delivery act (documenting the condition of furniture and appliances).

• Mechanisms for early termination of the agreement.

• Conditions for compensation of damages.

What Risks Does a Lawyer’s Service Cover?

When it comes to real estate, a lawyer's service is not a luxury — it is a necessity. Here are the most common problems we can help you resolve:

1. Unpaid Rent and Tenant Eviction

Under Georgian legislation, evicting an unscrupulous tenant is a complex procedure. The police often cannot intervene in private disputes and will refer you to the court. Our law firm will help you draft an agreement that simplifies the eviction process or ensures your representation in court.

2. Property Damage

Tenants often leave apartments with damaged appliances or furniture. A professional lawyer will assist you in properly structuring the security deposit and drafting an acceptance-delivery act to ensure full compensation for damages.

3. Tax Obligations

Did you know that rental income is taxable? A lawyer will provide consultation on how to register as a taxpayer and benefit from a preferential 5% tax regime instead of the standard 20%.
