Leasing & Property Legal Structuring in Turkey
Renting property in Turkey may seem straightforward, but for foreigners it often leads to disputes over deposits, early termination, rent increases, and eviction procedures. We provide attorney-led legal structuring to ensure your lease agreements are clear, enforceable, and aligned with Turkish law.
Common Risks in Lease Relationships
Many disputes arise because lease agreements are generic, incomplete, or inconsistent with actual use of the property.
- Deposit disputes: unclear refund conditions and deductions
- Early termination: penalties and notice periods misunderstood
- Rent increases: non-compliant adjustment clauses
- Eviction risks: improper notices and procedural mistakes
Our Legal Structuring Approach
We tailor lease agreements to the property, purpose of use, and the tenant’s legal status, ensuring protection from avoidable disputes.
- Contract drafting: residential and commercial lease agreements
- Risk prevention: clear deposit, maintenance, and termination clauses
- Compliance: alignment with mandatory tenancy rules
- Dispute readiness: enforceable documentation if issues arise
