01What can the review include?+
Depending on the agreed scope, the lawyer may compare the agreement and its annexes with your instructions; identify and prioritise unclear or potentially problematic provisions; explain questions of Georgian law and commercial choice; and provide written comments, a risk summary, proposed changes or redlines. Discuss whether a call, revised wording, negotiation with the other party or later versions are included. A review is not a guarantee of an enforceable clause, a trouble-free tenancy or a particular outcome.
02How are fees agreed?+
The fee and timing depend on length, annexes, language and governing law, completeness of documents, urgency and whether follow-up negotiation or revised versions are requested. Agree the work and quote before it starts; no fixed fee or guaranteed same-day response is assumed. Request a consultation about the proposed lease and the decision you need to make.

04What does Article 552 say about residential security?+
Georgian Civil Code Article 552 addresses security under a residential-premises rental agreement. Its stated rules include a ceiling of three times one month's rent. Where a cash security is payable in advance, the provision allows the tenant to pay in equal monthly instalments over three months; it also addresses statutory interest and return after the tenancy ends, and invalidates an agreement adverse to the tenant under that article. Whether a particular payment is security and whether these rules apply requires the facts and the full agreement. Do not assume that a label alone determines its legal effect. The Code also contains termination rules with qualifications and a specific rule for furnished apartments; the actual circumstances and the applicable provisions must be checked before drawing a conclusion.
05Can a new lease be drafted separately?+
Advokato can help a prospective tenant or landlord review an existing residential rental agreement before signing, renewal or a proposed change. The review can identify practical decisions and legal issues in the text you provide. Its scope, outputs, timing and fee are agreed after an initial conflict and availability check. Reviewing wording is distinct from drafting a new lease, checking property title or a counterparty's identity, and representing a party in a dispute; those tasks can be discussed separately.
