The recent discussions between tenants and property owners in Turkey have reached a peak due to the increase in rents due to inflation. The government is discussing the implementation of penal measures for those who do not pay their home and workplace rents through banks and PTT in order to prevent informal rents.
Recently, many lawsuits have been filed in court due to disagreements between tenants and property owners. Among these cases, the issues of non-contractual rentals and cash rent payments have a significant weight. Home and business owners were collecting all or half of the rent in cash in order to avoid paying taxes on the rent they received from tenants.Some were even renting without a contract in order to prevent tenants from making claims. However, the discussions that took place brought disagreements to light. As a result, the government will take some steps to prevent rents from being paid in cash as part of the fight against informality.The Foreign Citizen Advice Centre is currently helping tenants who are in this very position now and together they are making inroads resulting in satisfactory outcomes for both parties. WhatsApp the Advice Center or just call in to their public office between 10:00am and 16:30pm daily Mon – Fri.
