The effect of deformation on the electric properties in rare-earth garnet compounds is elucidated. It is shown that inhomogeneous deformation causes the emergence of electric polarization in garnet crystals on account of nonequivalent low-symmetry sites of rare-earth ions in the cubic structure of these crystals, whose symmetry of the environment has no inversion center. The polarization of a rare-earth ion subsystem in garnet crystals is studied upon the elastic wave propagation therein.
