Do apartments in Batumi have gas supply, and does it matter when renting?

Gas power plants in the region run on Azerbaijani gas, not local supply — worth keeping in mind when assessing reliability of gas infrastructure.

Apartments without gas actually have fewer failure points. Electricity and water can break down in any building, but gas adds another potential issue. No gas is not necessarily a drawback.

If a landlord says gas is 'being connected soon', there's roughly a 90% chance it won't happen. Look for apartments where gas is already connected, or plan around electric appliances from the start.
