Turkey’s Court of Cassation 3rd Civil Chamber has ruled that a tenant who vacates on time — before the new rental period begins — cannot be ordered to pay the costs of a rent determination lawsuit. The costs stay with the landlord. Here is what landlords and tenants in Alanya need to know.
Tenant–landlord disputes in Alanya now require mandatory mediation before court action. Learn how the process works, what disputes it covers, and why it benefits both parties.
If the property you rent in Alanya is sold, your tenancy agreement does not end automatically. Under the Turkish Code of Obligations (TBK), the new owner steps into the existing contract and cannot evict you immediately, raise the rent arbitrarily or ignore your deposit. Foreign tenants should also be aware of residence permit, translation and formal notice requirements.
