Tenant-rights advice for Hakan in Istanbul: a short consultation
Hakan is dealing with a 40% rent increase with a 30-day notice and needs someone who knows the law in Istanbul to explain the options.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye776 views
My landlord in Istanbul has given me a 40% rent increase with a 30-day notice. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other.
I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in Istanbul could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect.
I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in Istanbul would also be appreciated.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Mannheim

You're not alone, Hakan. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Istanbul.
