Flip Flat: Tbilisi Rentals Bot

Renting in a city you do not know is tiring. Listings go stale, owners stop answering, and half the options turn out to be someone else's duplicate. The Flip Flat bot makes the Tbilisi apartment hunt calmer: you set your conditions once, and it brings you matching places.

The bot belongs to the Flip Flat real estate agency, which handles long-term rentals in Tbilisi. It complements their channel of apartment posts and adds what a plain feed cannot offer: filters and personal alerts.

Three conditions instead of a hundred listings

After /start the bot asks what matters to you. There is no endless scrolling and no need to compare every post against your budget by hand.

• District. Choose where you want to live: near the metro, in the center, or somewhere quieter.
• Budget. Name the monthly amount you can work with.
• Amenities. Furniture, appliances and anything else you refuse to move in without.

In return you see only current offers from owners, with no promotional spam and no outdated ads.

The next flat finds you

Good places in Tbilisi go fast. That is why the subscription is the main benefit: when a flat matching your conditions enters the database, the bot sends it right away, so you can reply before other people do.

The /subscriptions command lists the searches you follow. If you have found a place or changed your mind, remove the extra subscriptions and the alerts stop. 🏠

Ask about renting before you view

The /ask command is for questions about renting. It helps when you are still sizing up the city and do not know where to start: which documents people ask for, how a deposit works, what utilities usually cost on top.

If a listing catches your eye, the bot suggests contacting the agent. The agent organizes viewings and helps with the remaining steps, so you do not have to negotiate with every owner yourself. The agency states that tenants pay no commission and the owner covers the service. Confirm the terms before you sign anything.

Avoiding rental traps in Tbilisi

Even with a good bot, basic safety habits still apply. These rules hold in any city.

1. Check the owner. Ask for a current extract from the public property registry and match the name to the person signing the lease.
2. If someone else signs, require a notarized power of attorney.
3. See the flat in person, or through someone you trust, before you pay anything.
4. Put everything in writing. Deposit size, term, move-out rules and the condition of the furniture belong in the contract or an inventory list.

Do not transfer money until you have seen the documents and confirmed the flat exists. A demand for an urgent prepayment without a viewing is a red flag. ⚠️

Who it helps

The bot is aimed at people moving to Georgia or switching homes inside Tbilisi who want a long-term rental. It is handy if you live in another country and choose a flat in advance, because filters and an agent take over part of the legwork.

If your criteria are too strict and nothing turns up, widen the district or raise the budget a little. Those two settings usually cut out the most listings. 🔑
