Preparing a Lease Agreement: Tips and Advice

In the rental process in Turkey, the lease agreement is an important document that protects the rights of both the landlord and the tenant. As our law firm in Istanbul, we provide you with information about what you should pay attention to in the process of preparing a rental agreement and how you can get professional support in this regard.

Elements of the Rental Agreement:

When drawing up a rental agreement, it is important to consider the following:

1. Parties: Must include landlord and tenant information.
2. Leased real estate: The address, nature and characteristics of the rented real estate should be clearly stated.
3. Rental price: The amount, payment method and dates of the rental fee should be specified.
4. Deposit: Deposit amount and return conditions must be clearly stated.
5. Rental period: The duration of the rental agreement and the renewal conditions should be written.

Maintenance and repair obligations: The maintenance and repair obligations of the parties must be clearly stated.           

Terms of the Rental Agreement:

1. In writing: Rental agreements in Turkey should be drawn up in writing.
2. Notarization: Lease agreements for more than two years require notarization.

Having witnesses: It can be helpful to have witnesses when signing a lease.   

Rent Increase Rates:

While preparing a lease agreement in Turkey, it is useful to determine the rent increase rates. Annual rent increase rates should be determined according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rates announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute. This ratio should be clearly stated in the contract and accepted by both parties.

Termination of Rental Agreement:

When the lease has expired or needs to be terminated for any reason, it is important that the parties know the terms of termination. The termination of the lease agreement is regulated in the Turkish Code of Obligations and the Turkish Civil Code. The parties must comply with the legal deadlines and procedures when exercising their right of termination.

Tenant and Landlord Rights:

When preparing a rental agreement in Turkey, it is important to know and respect the rights of the tenant and landlord. Among the rights of the tenant are that the immovable is usable, that the landlord fulfills the maintenance and repair obligations of the immovable, and that the rent is paid on time. The rights of the landlord include the timely payment of the rent, the use of the immovable for its intended use, and the delivery of the immovable in good condition.
