Was die Zahlung abdeckt und was nicht
| Rent | per contract |
|---|---|
| Aidat (service charge) | separate, monthly — cleaning, lift, security, pool. In a complex with a pool it differs from an ordinary building several times over — compare rent plus aidat, not rent |
| Heating | depends on the system — with an individual kombi the occupant pays by meter; with central (merkezi) heating the cost is apportioned across flats and arrives through aidat |
| Water, electricity, internet | on the tenant — transferring the meters requires a DASK policy |
| DASK | compulsory |
| Emlak vergisi (property tax) | on the owner — it cannot be shifted onto the tenant by contract |
Recht für dieses Segment
| TBK md. 344 | Obergrenze der Mieterhöhung Bei Verlängerung darf die Miete höchstens um den TÜFE-Durchschnitt der letzten zwölf Monate steigen. Abweichende Klauseln sind nichtig. Der Schutz gilt für den bestehenden Mieter, nicht für einen Neuvertrag. Geprüft 2026-08-17 |
|---|---|
| TBK md. 342 | Kaution Die Kaution darf drei Monatsmieten nicht überschreiten. Sie wird auf ein Konto gezahlt oder gegen Quittung übergeben; Bargeld ohne Beleg gilt nicht als gezahlt. Geprüft 2026-08-17 |
| 32 sayılı Karar | Contract currency Between residents of Türkiye, pricing and rent in foreign currency are prohibited. Where one party is not a Turkish citizen, a foreign-currency contract is permitted. Acquiring Turkish citizenship removes that exemption — the rule reverses for the same person. Geprüft 2026-08-17 |
| NVİ | Address registration Address registration conditions both residence permit renewal and a place in a state school. It requires a notarised lease, not a hand-signed one. Geprüft 2026-08-17 |
| DASK | Compulsory earthquake insurance A DASK policy is compulsory and conditions the connection and transfer of water and electricity meters. Without it, utilities will not be transferred to a new occupant. Geprüft 2026-08-17 |
Worauf hier besonders zu achten ist
- Whether the heating type is written into the contract or only mentioned aloud
- Aidat for the last three months — ask for the receipts, not a spoken figure
- Whether the building has an iskan: without it meters cannot be transferred
- Whether the lease is notarised — address registration and permit renewal depend on it
- Whether the mahalle is open for foreigner registration
- The inventory of furniture and appliances if the flat is eşyalı
- Who pays the agency commission and how much
- Whether the term is eleven months — that is a way around tenant protection
Typische Fehler und Maschen
- A cash deposit without a receipt. Formally it was never paid, and it will not come back
- An eleven-month contract “to keep it simple”. It removes the renewal cap
- Demanding a Turkish guarantor (kefil) as a condition — common, but negotiable
- “We will clarify the aidat later.” It is always clarified upward
- Paying rent in cash where the law requires bank transfer — a risk in any dispute and in a tax audit
Für wen geeignet und für wen nicht
+
- those staying over a year and applying for a residence permit
- families who need address registration for a school place
−
- winterers staying three or four months — a different regime and a different contract
- anyone counting on a permit purely because they rent: that no longer works

Fragen
Is a three-month deposit lawful?
Yes — three is the statutory cap under article 342. Demanding more is unenforceable even when written into the contract.
Can the rent be raised above inflation?
On renewal, no: the cap is the twelve-month average TÜFE. But the limit does not apply to a new contract with a new tenant.
Can the rent be set in euros or dollars?
Between residents of Türkiye, no. Where one party is not a Turkish citizen, a foreign-currency contract is permitted. Once Turkish citizenship is acquired, the exemption stops applying.
