Example
Example: a tutanak for a water leak from the flat upstairs, in Istanbul
A British tenant in Kadıköy finds water coming through her bathroom ceiling on 14 October 2026. With the building manager and the owner of the flat upstairs she writes a record for her landlord. Title “Su sızıntısı tespit tutanağı”, date 14 October 2026, time 08:30; place, subject and what was seen in Turkish.
- The title is printed in capitals the Turkish way, with the dotless I and the dotted İ: SU SIZINTISI TESPİT TUTANAĞI.
- The three lines of what was seen become three paragraphs: the wet patch on the ceiling of flat 4, the leaking joint under the basin of flat 6 and its valve turned off, the photos taken.
- Then the closing sentence that makes it a record: İşbu tutanak, yukarıda yazılı tarih ve saatte düzenlenmiş; okunarak aşağıda adı geçenlerce imza altına alınmıştır.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a tutanak for?
- It is the record of an event written and signed by the people who were there, at the time or straight after. In a later dispute — an accident at work, damage, a disciplinary matter — it is one of the strongest records of what happened, and its weight is the signatures.
- How should it be written?
- Plainly and without comment: who, when, where, what was done and what was seen. The closing sentence says the record was read and signed by those named.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. Where it may lead to dismissal or compensation, talk to a lawyer.
- Do I have to write it in Turkish?
- The printed labels and the closing sentence are always in Turkish — Tarih, Saat, Yer, Konu, İşbu tutanak… — because the record is used in Turkey. Write what was seen in Turkish too, so that everyone who signs can read what they sign. Turkish letters such as ğ, ş, ı and İ print correctly.
- How many people can sign?
- The signers go three to a row, each with a name, a title and a line marked İmza. With a short account, up to nine fit on the first page; any more continue on a second page. Leave the list empty and three blank boxes are printed, to fill in by hand.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser.
