Property Rental Law

The rental law, which is known to be dealt with within the scope of property law, is a branch of law that can be applied to solve disputes between tenants and landlords. It is possible to say that this branch of law enables the fulfillment of duties and commitments and in this context, it steps in and puts forward regulations in cases where the landlords and tenants are in conflict with each other. On the other hand, landlords and tenants, can seek their rights in the Court of Peace and, where appropriate, the Enforcement Court.

Rental Agreement

Within the scope of our Rental Law Attorney service, it is possible to say that both the tenant and the landlord make a mutual rental agreement to guarantee their rights. The elements to be considered while making a rental agreement and the details about these elements are as follows.

The first rule in lawsuits filed due to the rental agreement is as follows; The rent must be proven in accordance with Article 200 of the Civil Courts Act (HMK). In other words, the existence of a rental relationship and the existence of this rent is a condition that must be proven.

In lawsuits filed within the scope of our Rental Law Attorney service arising from rental agreements, tenant will be the both plaintiff or the defendant. In order to ensure the healthy progress of the court proceedings, the tenant or the attorney of the tenant must attend the hearings. In the event that the tenant does not attend the hearings, as stated in Article 171 of the Law on Civil Courts, an arraignment should be sent and the rental relationship should be clarified in this context.

The tenant is not required to be an owner. The rental agreement is of a private nature and creates a mutual debt between the parties. It is a natural consequence that the tenant does not have to be the owner.

Within the scope of our rental agreement and Istanbul Rental Law Attorney service, the duty to deal with the cases related to the movable or immovable property subject to the agreement is the Civil Courts of Peace in accordance with the expression in Article 4 of the Law of Civil Courts..

The death of the lessor or tenant is not the result of the rental termination. In other words, it should be known that the rental agreement will not expire in line with our Rental Law Attorney service in the event of the death of the lessor or tenant. Because in case of death, the right to rent passes to the heirs of the lessor or the tenant. If the lessor has more than one heir, eviction cases must be filed by all heirs. This is a result of compulsory litigation between heirs. Likewise, making a timely notice regarding the eviction process is a situation that can be done by the heirs. So the notice should be sent to all heirs. If the tenant has more than one heir, all heirs of the tenant must be specified as a party to possible lawsuits. It would be beneficial to keep in mind that a deficiency in this matter cannot be eliminated during the trial process.

As we mentioned above within the scope of our Rental Law Attorney service, it is not obligatory for the tenant to be the owner. In cases where the tenant is not the owner, it is possible to file a direct eviction lawsuit due to fundamental zoning or need. However, in order to be able to file an eviction action due to two justified warnings or default, a warning must have been issued in order to demand payment of the rental fee.

In the event of more than one tenant, a commitment by one person to evacuate is not valid. Because again, there is a compulsory fellowship between these people.

The period to be given to the tenant for eviction through a notice is at least 30 days from the date of notification in case of roofed workplace or house rents. It is beneficial to give the tenant time in this context.

Although these two factors are taken into consideration, the existing rent eviction cases with the aim of eliminating the problems that may arise, and the details regarding these lawsuits are as follows. The rent determination lawsuit is a type of lawsuit that deals with the determination of a new rental value, taking the characteristics such as environmental precedents and  location into account in the rent determination lawsuits opened after the 5th year, even if there is a provision for an increase in the rental agreement.
