Current Issues in Real Estate Law: Tenancy Disputes, Eviction and Rent Determination Proceedings
Tenancy relationships may occasionally develop into complex legal processes that are difficult for both property owners and tenants to navigate. Rapidly changing economic conditions and legislative developments have contributed to an increase in disputes arising from lease agreements. At ÇBG Law Firm, whose team specialises in Real Estate Law, we safeguard your legal rights while seeking to minimise the financial and emotional burden of the process.
Rent Determination and Rent Adjustment Proceedings
As market conditions change, existing rental amounts may remain significantly below prevailing market rates or become excessively burdensome. Rent determination and rent adjustment proceedings available under Turkish law play an important role in addressing such imbalances.
To initiate these proceedings, the statutory time limits and notice requirements must be fulfilled accurately and in full. Failure to take the necessary steps in a timely and procedurally compliant manner may result in the loss of legal rights.
The Importance of Procedure in Eviction Proceedings
The eviction of a tenant is a highly sensitive process subject to strict statutory and procedural requirements. Eviction proceedings may be initiated on various legal grounds, including the landlord’s genuine need for the property, the expiry of the ten-year extension period, two justified notices, or the tenant’s failure to pay rent and resulting default.
Even a minor procedural error during eviction proceedings may lead to the dismissal of the case and cause the process to be prolonged for months or even years. For this reason, obtaining assistance from an experienced lawyer from the outset is the safest way to protect your legal position.
Training and the “Art of Winning Without Fighting”
At ÇBG Law Firm, we do not limit our services to representing clients before the courts. We also share our professional experience with real estate professionals through specialised training programmes.
Our training sessions cover matters including Tenancy Law, eviction proceedings, rent determination actions, rent adjustment actions, disputes arising from property viewing agreements, tenancy disputes and available methods of resolution. Through practical programmes supported by examples from real cases and disputes, we aim to help real estate professionals identify and minimise legal risks before they develop into formal proceedings.
Most importantly, we adopt the philosophy of the “art of winning without fighting through the application of Aikido principles to legal relationships” when resolving disputes. Through this approach, we seek to resolve tenancy disputes between the parties as swiftly as possible through strategic negotiation, without resorting to lengthy and exhausting court proceedings wherever possible.
