Frequently Asked
About the dates, frequently asked
Which CPI figure applies to my rent increase?
The twelve-month average CPI that TurkStat publishes in the month your lease renews, on the 3rd or the next working day. Pick your lease month on this page and the figure appears with a link to that month's page; the calculator turns it into the new rent.
When is property tax due in Turkey?
In two instalments, by the end of May and the end of November, to the municipality where the flat is registered. It can be paid online from abroad; the linked guide walks through it step by step.
What if I renew DASK after the policy has expired?
The renewal discount is kept only if you renew within 30 days of expiry; after that a new policy is written at the full premium, and the flat is uninsured in between. Keep the policy date in your calendar and renew ahead of it.
Do you track these dates for me?
On Full Management, yes: rent day, the increase, the tax instalments and the DASK date are tracked and you are reminded in writing, and the rental income return is filed by our partner accountant in your name. On Rent Monitoring you get the monthly statement and the reminders stay with you.
