Tenancy Law
Tenancy Law
With the entry into force of the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098 on 01.07.2012, new statutory regulations have been introduced regarding the legal relations between the lessor and the lessee. The provisions of the Turkish Code of Obligations governing lease agreements have been specifically structured in a manner aimed at protecting the lessee, who constitutes the weaker party to the contract.
One of the most significant subjects that comes to mind when referring to tenancy law is Residential and Roofed Workplace Leases. The concept of “residential and roofed workplace” was introduced into Turkish legal literature for the first time as a statutory term under the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098. The provisions regarding residential and roofed workplace leases are particularly important in terms of the rules governing the termination of the contract.
Due to the recent increase in inflation rates in our country, the PPI and CPI rates have risen. This situation has also affected rent increase rates. As a result of the sharp rise in PPI and CPI rates, a temporary article was added to the Turkish Code of Obligations on 11.06.2022, stipulating that, for residential lease agreements to be renewed between 11.06.2022 and 01.07.2023, the rent may be increased by a maximum of 25%.

A lease agreement is a contract in which one party (the lessor) agrees to transfer the right to use a property (usually real estate) to another party (the lessee) for a specified period in exchange for the payment of rent. A lease agreement can be made orally or in writing; however, for leases exceeding one year, a written agreement is legally required.
The tenant has the right to use the leased property and, in accordance with the terms of the contract, to occupy the premises throughout the lease term. Additionally, the tenant may request an increase in the rent or modification of the contract terms. The lessor, on the other hand, has the right to demand timely payment of the rent from the tenant and may also terminate the contract if the tenant fails to comply with the terms of the agreement.
The rent is freely determined between the tenant and the lessor. However, if the rent is not agreed upon by the parties, it may be determined based on the market value of similar properties. Rent is usually paid on a monthly or yearly basis and is specified in the contract. Additionally, the rent may be increased annually at a certain rate, but such an increase must be explicitly stated in the agreement.
The lease agreement may be terminated upon expiration of the term, mutual agreement of the parties, or termination by the lessor in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The lessor has the right to terminate the agreement if the lessee fails to pay the rent or comply with the terms of the agreement. Similarly, the lessee may terminate the agreement if the lessor fails to fulfill its obligations.
The tenant may make alterations to the leased property only with the lessor’s consent. The tenant may carry out minor modifications to use the property more effectively; however, if such changes are made without the lessor’s approval, the tenant may be held liable for breaching the contract. Upon returning the leased property, the tenant may be required to inform the lessor of any modifications made.
