What is it?
When the landlord and tenant cannot agree on the rent, either party may ask the court to determine the rent for the new lease period. The claim is assessed under the provisions of the Turkish Code of Obligations on rent.
Factors considered by the court
- Type, location and condition of the property
- Rents of comparable properties
- Previous rent and contract terms
- Duration of the tenancy
General procedure
- Reviewing the property and comparable rents
- Filing the lawsuit (important time limits apply)
- Site inspection and expert examination ordered by the court
- Judgment determining the new rent
Points to consider: Current statutory rules on rent increases and the contract terms are decisive. The filing date affects from which period the new rent applies; missing time limits may result in loss of rights.
