Rent of an apartment in Turkey for vacation

A hotel room, which is familiar to many tourists, cannot always satisfy the needs of a vacationer during the next vacation. A typical hotel room is not at all adapted for a fun, noisy company, for a married couple with children, or a long stay of more than two weeks. If you plan to spend your days in Turkey enjoying not only the sea, but also comfortable apartments, the Turkish real estate market is ready to offer an apartment for rent for every taste.

You can find temporary housing for rent with the help of a large reliable agency or on your own, having previously studied the information on the Internet. The choice of apartments in Turkey is dizzyingly large, and hotel-type residential complexes amaze with the list of amenities and services that are difficult to resist.

Foreign tourists have the opportunity to settle not just in a separate apartment, but in a residence with a luxurious infrastructure. On the territory of new residential complexes, you can use a swimming pool, sauna, gym, playground and even a massage room. The prices are certainly comparable to the quantity and quality of the services provided. For example, the minimum price for living in a penthouse on a warm coast in the summer season is about 920 euros. But how not to become a victim of deception, not overpay for a long-awaited vacation and be sure of a deal?

For convenience and peace of mind, you can hire a specialist who will search for housing in a short time, take into account the customer's preferences, offer reliable information about the apartment and monitor the passage of all necessary procedures up to the conclusion of the contract.

It is also possible to rent an apartment via the Internet or social networks yourself, but this method gives less guarantee of success. Renting a home abroad has a lot of pitfalls, from which no foreign tourist is insured.

Firstly, on some sites, the attractive word "rent" does not mean the temporary use of housing, but its purchase.

Secondly, sites with real offers most often belong to Turkish agencies, and it's good if, in addition to Turkish, you can use the English version. But knowledge of the simple word "kiralik", which means nothing more than "rent", and the obligatory presence of photos of the offered apartments will help to navigate the site.

Also, the collection of Turkish words should be replenished with the following names: "Sahibinden", which means "apartment from the owner" and "Emlakcidan" - "apartment from the agent". There is an opinion that it is more economical to rent housing from owners. But they often turn out to be the private intermediaries of the firm.

If your choice still fell on a certain object, then communication with the agent or the owner of the property will take place, at best, in English, and most likely in Turkish. And most likely, you do not know Turkish, and the owner does not know Russian. Lack of mutual communication can become a big problem in the discussion of financial, utilities and other equally important issues.

Your dream of comfort may end up renting an abandoned apartment without furniture and for a period of six months or more. Therefore, a more practical option is to contact the agency, where a competent English-speaking manager will offer his services. A specialist who knows his business will provide the customer with a furnished apartment with a pleasant neighborhood and the necessary little things in the locker.

1. Pay attention to prices and currencies. The cost can be indicated in euros, dollars and lira. The lira price has nothing to do with reality. You will be answered by phone that either the apartment has already been rented out, or for that kind of money you can buy an apartment without furniture and in the worst condition. In this regard, the services of agencies are again the most relevant - managers will not only select the desired apartment, but also provide the customer with an overview of real prices on the real estate market, depending on the level of comfort of housing.

2. Never transfer your money to mobile devices or unfamiliar accounts. When transferring money to the owner's account, ask for receipts.
3. Do not give out rent without concluding an appropriate rental agreement (Sözlesme).
4.Be sure to keep your payment receipt or keep a copy of the agreement.
When concluding a contract, pay attention to the deposit and cleaning fees, which will be done in the apartment after your departure. The deposit is a refundable deposit, which is made at the conclusion of the contract in case you do something wrong in the apartment. Usually the deposit is 1-2 monthly annuities.

It should be borne in mind that in addition to the rent, you will have to spend on utilities and idat - a monthly tax for additional services. In Turkey, water and electricity are paid by the meter, and gas for cooking is sold in cylinders. Therefore, these costs will depend on your personal needs, the season and the quality of the home. But the idat for the infrastructure, which is located on the territory of modern new buildings, is appointed by the management company and is paid monthly.

The amount of aidat depends on the location of the residential complex and the list of services that can be used on its territory.
After discussing all the details, you can sign an agreement. It is this document that will guarantee that your long-awaited vacation will not be overshadowed by unforeseen troubles associated with a rented apartment. In order to avoid any misfires and be calm about your vacation, we still advise you to contact a large and reliable company, which guarantees you a quality vacation by the sea and unforgettable days of comfort in your new home.
