Management fee: 5% (Rent Monitoring) or 10% (Full Management) of the rent collected, plus VAT. Nothing while the flat is empty, no setup fee, and finding the tenant costs you nothing — the letting fee is the tenant's. Repair costs are yours; the approval limit is a figure in the agreement. The fees, with a worked example.

What Happens When

Three common situations, three steps each

Rent has not arrived

  1. Written reminder to the tenant the next morning; you are told that day.
  2. Still unpaid: notary notice. Two justified notices in one lease year are grounds for eviction.
  3. If it continues: enforcement and eviction file, handed complete to a lawyer. Details in the eviction guide.

The boiler fails at night

  1. The tenant calls the emergency line; evenings and weekends included.
  2. Anything causing damage is stopped; work under your limit is done without waiting.
  3. Above the limit, you get a quote first. Photo report that day.

The tenant gives notice

  1. Notice taken in writing; move-out date and deposit plan fixed.
  2. Shoot, price and list before the flat empties; viewings begin.
  3. Handover record, meter readings, deposit settlement. The new tenant is signed with your approval.

Frequently Asked

Questions owners abroad ask us

I live abroad. Can I start without coming to Turkey at all?

Yes. The valuation, the service agreement and the e-Devlet listing authorisation are completed remotely, and the keys are taken over in your name. A power of attorney is needed only for a deed or notary transaction; it is granted at a Turkish consulate and we tell you in writing beforehand which step requires it.

How does rent reach me? I have no Turkish bank account.

On Full Management the rent is paid to us and forwarded within three business days to your account in Turkey or abroad; transfer costs and exchange rate are the owner's. On Rent Monitoring the tenant pays you directly and we watch the due date. If you want a Turkish account, we walk you through it.

What does it cost?

5% of the rent actually collected on Rent Monitoring, 10% on Full Management, plus VAT. No fee while the flat is empty, no setup fee. The letting fee is one month's rent plus VAT on both tiers, paid by the tenant, and due only when a letting completes.

If the tenant does not pay, do you pay the rent?

No; we do not guarantee rent. What we do is keep the sequence intact: a written reminder the next day, then a notary notice, then enforcement and an eviction file if needed.

I already have a tenant. Can you take over the existing contract?

Yes, and it is the most common start. We review the contract, the payment history and the deposit, and introduce ourselves to the tenant in writing. The contract cannot change without the tenant's consent, so the increase and any missing clauses are handled at renewal.

Do you need my approval for every repair?

Only above the limit written into the agreement. Below it, work is done without waiting and appears on the monthly statement; above it, every item reaches you with a quote first. A fault that is actively causing damage is stopped first and reported the same day.

Which districts do you cover?

All of Istanbul. Our office is in Bahçelievler; the districts we work most are Bahçelievler, Zeytinburnu, Bakırköy, Bağcılar, Başakşehir and Eyüpsultan on the European side, and Ümraniye, Kadıköy, Ataşehir, Maltepe and Kartal on the Asian side. Elsewhere in the city it is the same team and the same routine.

Do you manage Airbnb or short-term lets?

No. We manage long-term residential tenancies only. Short-term letting requires a permit under Law No. 7464 and is a different operation; we do not offer it.

Do you file my rental income tax return?

On Full Management, yes. We prepare the annual income-and-expense file and our partner accountant files the return in your name in March; you only approve the summary, with no trip to Turkey. The accountant's fee is a separate line in the offer. The rules are summarised in our rental income tax guide.

Can I leave whenever I want?

Yes. Term and termination are written plainly into the agreement, with no clause designed to make leaving hard. You can withdraw the e-Devlet listing authorisation yourself at any time. On exit you receive the contract, policies, receipts and correspondence file.
