What to know before you rent
- Deposits
- If a deposit is agreed for a residential lease it may not exceed three months' rent; any amount above that is legally invalid. (source, 2026-03)
- Tenant rights
- Annual increases on residential leases may not exceed the 12-month average change in the consumer price index (TÜFE). The temporary 25% cap ended on 1 July 2024. (source, 2024-07)
Short-term rental rules
- Türkiye: Under Law 7464, a homeowner needs a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to rent out a dwelling for tourism for periods of up to 100 days. Renting without a permit leads to administrative fines. (source, 2024-01)
