Holiday rentals and Airbnb
How short-term rental works in Georgia, with taxes and season.
In short
If you don't live in Georgia, you usually need a local manager to rent out your apartment. They handle guests or tenants, cleaning, repairs and accounting, and are usually paid a share of the income. Clear duties in the contract and regular, traceable statements matter most.
What to watchMany new builds have their own in-house management. That is convenient, but not always the cheapest choice.
Holiday rentals in GeorgiaWhat to watch
Ask these questions before you sign a contract.
Listings, check-in, cleaning, laundry, small repairs. Clarify what costs extra.
Ask for monthly statements with bookings, income and costs, ideally with access to the platforms.
As the owner you declare tax on rental income. Some managers help with that.
Watch notice periods and make sure listings and reviews stay with you.
Ask about apartments the manager already looks after and talk to other owners.
