Example
Example: a landlord living abroad asks for three months’ rent on a flat in Alanya
Emma Taylor lives in the UK and lets her flat in Alanya. The tenant, Ali Çelik, has not paid the rent of 25,000 TL a month for July, August and September 2026. She chooses Unpaid rent, keeps the home box ticked, leaves Subject, Demand and Deadline empty, and types three facts in Turkish.
| Field | What she types | What the PDF says |
|---|---|---|
| Notary office | Alanya 2. Noterliğine | ALANYA 2. NOTERLİĞİNE, at the top, above İHTARNAME |
| Sender, recipient | Names and addresses | Keşideci (İhtar eden): Emma Taylor — her address; Muhatap (İhtar edilen): Ali Çelik — the flat’s address |
| Subject | Left empty | Konu: Ödenmeyen kira bedelinin ödenmesi ihtarı (notice to pay unpaid rent) |
| Facts, one per line | The lease of 1 January 2026; rent 25.000 TL due by the 5th; July–September unpaid | AÇIKLAMALAR, numbered 1 to 3 |
| Amount, period | 75.000 · Temmuz–Eylül 2026 | SONUÇ VE İSTEM: pay the 75.000 TL for Temmuz–Eylül 2026 within 30 days of service |

One A4 page. The demand warns that, unpaid, the lease will be ended under article 315 of the Turkish Code of Obligations and eviction sought; then the request that the notary serve one of three copies, keep one and return one with the service note, the date 21.10.2026 and Emma Taylor’s signature line.
How it works
- Choose the kind: general, unpaid rent, or money owed.
- Enter the sender and the recipient, and the notary office if you know it.
- Write the facts, one per line, in Turkish; add the amount and the deadline.
- Print three copies, sign them and take them to a notary.
Frequently asked questions
- Why through a notary?
- The notary serves it on the recipient and records when, which proves both what was said and when the deadline started.
- What deadline for unpaid rent?
- At least 30 days for a home or roofed workplace, 10 for other leases (Turkish Code of Obligations, art. 315). The page will not make a rent notice with less.
- Is the paper in Turkish?
- Yes: it is handed in in Turkey, so it is written in Turkish. This page’s form is in English; what you type into the text boxes should be in Turkish.
- What does the notice say, in English?
- For unpaid rent: pay the total rent for the period within the deadline from the day this notice is served; otherwise the lease will be ended under article 315 of the Turkish Code of Obligations and legal steps taken for eviction. For money owed: pay the amount within the deadline, or legal steps follow, with the costs and interest charged to the recipient.
- I am not a Turkish citizen. What goes in the T.C. number box?
- Your foreign identity number (yabancı kimlik numarası), the 11-digit number starting with 99 on a residence permit. The paper then prints “Yabancı Kimlik No” in front of it instead of “T.C. Kimlik No”. Left empty, no number is printed.
- What do keşideci and muhatap mean?
- Keşideci (ihtar eden) is the sender, who gives the notice; muhatap (ihtar edilen) is the person it is served on. Konu is the subject, Açıklamalar the numbered facts, and Sonuç ve İstem the demand with its deadline.
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. Nothing of ours is printed on the paper.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is a form. For a serious dispute, talk to a lawyer in Turkey.
