Lease agreements in which such a<br \/>condition is not specified are referred to as indefinite-term lease agreements.<\/p><h3>3- Obligations of the Lessor<\/h3><p>The lessor is obliged to deliver the leased property in accordance with the intended use specified in<br \/>the contract on the date determined by the parties and ensure that it remains in that condition<br \/>throughout the contract period.<br \/>Taxes, mandatory insurance, and similar expenses related to the leased property are borne by the<br \/>lessor unless otherwise regulated by law or agreed upon by the parties. Examples of ancillary<br \/>expenses include lighting expenses for common areas, security expenses, and fees to be paid to the<br \/>building caretaker.<\/p><h3>4- Determination of the Rent Amount<\/h3><p>According to the Turkish Code of Obligations, the parties to a lease agreement are free to determine<br \/>the rent amount. However, there are many limitations in the law regarding matters other than the<br \/>rent amount. The purpose of these limitations is to protect the rights of the lessee, who is considered<br \/>the weaker party in the lease agreement, according to the law.<br \/><strong>A- Determination of the Rent Amount in a New Lease Period<\/strong><br \/>The agreement reached by the parties regarding the rent amount to be applied in renewed lease<br \/>periods will be valid as long as it does not exceed the rate of change in the twelve-month averages of<br \/>the consumer price index (CPI) in the previous lease year. This rule also applies to lease agreements<br \/>lasting more than one year.<br \/>If no agreement has been made between the parties in this regard, the rent amount will be<br \/>determined by the judge, taking into account the condition of the leased property and considering<br \/>fairness, without exceeding the rate of change in the twelve-month averages of the consumer price<br \/>index in the previous lease year, through a lawsuit to be filed.<br \/><strong>B- Lawsuit for Determination of the Rent Amount<\/strong><br \/>In case of lack of agreement between the parties regarding the determination of the rent amount<br \/>and the existence of the conditions prescribed by law, the rent amount for the new lease period can<br \/>be determined through a lawsuit.<br \/>Regardless of whether the parties have reached an agreement on this matter, in lease agreements<br \/>lasting more than five years or renewed after five years, and at the end of every subsequent five<br \/>years, the rent amount to be applied in the new lease year is determined in a fair manner by the<\/p><p>judge, taking into account the rate of change in the twelve-month averages of the consumer price<br \/>index, the condition of the leased property, and comparable rent amounts.<br \/>In recent years, there has been a significant increase in lawsuits for the determination of the rent<br \/>amount in our country, mainly due to the global pandemic and economic conditions.<\/p><p><strong>C- Lawsuit for Rent Adjustment<\/strong><br \/>The conditions at the beginning of the lease agreement can be changed later due to unforeseeable<br \/>reasons by the parties. In such a case, if the lease agreement becomes unreasonably difficult for one of the parties, a lawsuit can be filed to modify the lease agreement. For this, it is necessary for the newly emerging extraordinary situation to be unforeseeable by the parties and for the continuation<br \/>of the lease agreement to become excessively burdensome for one party. Examples of such<br \/>situations can be the global Covid-19 pandemic and major economic crises.<br \/><strong>5- Tenant&#8217;s Obligations<\/strong><br \/>The tenant&#8217;s basic obligations are to pay the rent and ancillary expenses and to use the leased property with care.<\/p><p>If the tenant fails to pay the rent or ancillary expenses due after the delivery of the leased property, the landlord can give a written notice to the tenant, providing a certain period of time to make the<br \/>payment. If the payment is not made within this period, the landlord can terminate the agreement.<br \/>The period to be given to the tenant is at least ten days, and in residential and roofed workplace<br \/>leases, it is at least thirty days. This period starts from the day following the date of the written<br \/>notice to the tenant.<\/p><p>The tenant is obliged to use the leased property in accordance with the agreement and show<br \/>necessary respect to the individuals residing in the property and the neighbors.<br \/>In case of the tenant&#8217;s violation of this obligation, the landlord, in residential and roofed workplace<br \/>leases, gives a minimum of thirty days to remedy the violation, and if it is not resolved, provides a<br \/>written warning that the agreement will be terminated. In other lease relationships, the landlord can<br \/>terminate the agreement immediately by giving a written notice to the tenant without prior<br \/>notification.<\/p><p>In residential and roofed workplace leases, if the tenant intentionally causes significant damage to<br \/>the leased property, if it is understood that the given period to the tenant will be futile, or if the<br \/>tenant&#8217;s behavior contrary to this obligation becomes unbearable for the landlord or the individuals<br \/>residing in the property, the landlord can terminate the agreement immediately with a written<br \/>notice.<\/p><p>If necessary for maintenance, sale, or subsequent leasing, the tenant is obliged to allow the landlord<br \/>and the third party designated by the landlord to visit and inspect the leased property.<br \/>The landlord must inform the tenant in a reasonable period of time before these visits and<br \/>inspections take place and must consider the tenant&#8217;s rights during these activities.<\/p><p><strong>6- Making Innovations and Changes on the Leased Property<\/strong><\/p><p>The landlord has the right to make innovations and changes on the leased property that do not<br \/>require the termination of the lease agreement and can be expected to be borne by the tenant.<\/p><p>During the implementation of these innovations and changes, the landlord must consider the<br \/>tenant&#8217;s interests.<br \/><br \/>The tenant can make innovations and changes on the leased property with the written consent of the landlord.<br \/><br \/>If the landlord has given consent to the innovations and changes, unless otherwise agreed in writing,<br \/>the leased property cannot be demanded to be returned in its original condition.<br \/>The tenant has the right to sublease the leased property to someone else, either completely or<br \/>partially, as well as to transfer the right of use to someone else, as long as it does not cause harm to<br \/>the landlord due to the changes made.<br \/><br \/>In residential and roofed workplace leases, the tenant cannot sublease the leased property to<br \/>someone else or transfer the right of use without the written consent of the landlord.<br \/>The tenant does not have the right to transfer the lease relationship to someone else without the<br \/>written consent of the landlord. However, in roofed workplace leases, the landlord cannot refuse to<br \/>give this consent without a justifiable reason.<br \/>The person to whom the lease relationship is transferred with the written consent of the landlord<br \/>becomes a party to the lease agreement, and the transferring tenant is released from their<br \/>obligations towards the landlord.<\/p><p><strong>7- Termination of the Lease Agreement<\/strong><\/p><p>If a specific period is agreed upon by the parties for the termination of the lease agreement, the<br \/>agreement will automatically terminate at the end of this period.<br \/><br \/>If the parties continue the lease relationship without an explicit agreement, the lease agreement will<br \/>become an indefinite-term agreement.<br \/><br \/>In the event of the tenant&#8217;s death, the heirs have the right to terminate the agreement by<br \/>terminating the contract for the end of the nearest termination period, in accordance with the legal<br \/>notice period.<br \/><br \/>The tenant is obliged to return the leased property at the end of the lease agreement if they received<br \/>it in good condition. However, the tenant will not be responsible for the wear and tear and damages<br \/>that occur on the leased property due to its proper use. An example of this can be the worn-out paint<br \/>on the walls of a house that has been used for many years.<br \/><br \/>In residential and roofed workplace leases, if the tenant does not give a notice at least fifteen days<br \/>before the expiration of the term of a fixed-term agreement, the agreement will be deemed<br \/>extended for one year under the same conditions. In this case, the landlord cannot terminate the<br \/>agreement based on the expiration of the term. However, after the ten-year extension period, the<br \/>landlord can terminate the agreement without giving any reason, by giving a notice at least three<br \/>months before the end of each subsequent extension year.<br \/><br \/>In indefinite-term lease agreements, the tenant can terminate the agreement at any time, and the<br \/>landlord can terminate the agreement after ten years from the beginning of the lease, in accordance<br \/>with the conditions stipulated by the la\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lease Law 1- Lease Agreement The lessor giving the lessee the right to use something or to benefit from it, and the lesseeundertaking to pay the agreed-upon rent amount in return, constitute the subject matter of the leaseagreement. 2- Lease Term The lease agreement can be made for both a specific period and an indefinite [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[42,38,40,39,41],"class_list":["post-1150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lease-law","tag-home-rent-lease-law","tag-lease-law","tag-lease-law-in-turkey","tag-rent-law","tag-turkish-lease-law"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
