trPitfalls of long-term rental in Turkey.
Continuing the topic of rent, we want to tell you about the difficulties that a landlord may face. After a ban on short-term rentals by individuals was introduced, many apartment owners decided to rent out their real estate for long-term rentals. After some time, many of them are faced with the fact that the tenant does not make timely payment. What to do in such a situation?
If it is not possible to negotiate with the tenant, most likely you will need the help of a lawyer. Within the agreed time frame, he will file petitions to the court for non-payment of rent and for the forced eviction of negligent tenants. Changing locks, turning off lights and water - all these are illegal methods, fraught with fines and penalties already addressed to the landlord. Calling the police will also not help: without a court decision, police officers have no right to prevent people from being in the apartment.
Another option is when a person buys an apartment with tenants already living in it. In this situation, you can insure yourself and get a notarized document from the tenant before buying, in which the terms of the apartment's release will be prescribed.
Also recently, cases have become more frequent when tenants simply refuse to move out, even when the owner of the apartment himself decided to move into his apartment. Unfortunately, in this case you will also have to file an application to the court.
Employees of our licensed agency always warn their clients about the possibility of the development of the above events. Many of our clients prefer to conclude a contract with our company, freeing themselves from interacting with tenants and leaving us to take care of timely payment of rent, preparing the apartment for the arrival of new tenants and thoroughly checking the apartment before they leave.
