Example
Example: three months’ unpaid rent on a flat in Alanya, landlord living in the UK
A landlord living in Leeds lets a flat in Alanya at 25,000 TL a month, and the tenant has not paid July, August or September 2026. In the form: notary “Alanya 2. Noterliğine”, his foreign ID number (99…), both addresses, three facts in Turkish, amount 75.000, period Temmuz–Eylül 2026, “a home” ticked, deadline left empty.
- Left empty, the deadline becomes 30 days, the least art. 315 allows for a home. Typing 15 is refused with the reason; only a lease that is not a home or roofed workplace may go down to 10.
- The facts become numbered paragraphs under AÇIKLAMALAR, and the subject, left empty, is written for him: Ödenmeyen kira bedelinin ödenmesi ihtarı.
- Under SONUÇ VE İSTEM the tenant is told to pay the 75.000 TL for Temmuz–Eylül 2026 within 30 days of delivery, or the lease will be ended under art. 315 and eviction sought.
- The last lines ask the notary to serve one of the three copies on the tenant, keep one and return one with the note of service; then the date and his name above İmza.

Frequently asked questions
- How long must the tenant be given?
- At least 30 days for a home or roofed workplace and 10 for other leases (art. 315). The page will not make a shorter home rent notice.
- Then what?
- If the tenant does not pay within the deadline, the landlord may end the lease and apply for eviction.
- 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?
- In short: the tenant is to pay the unpaid rent for the period you give, the total you enter, within the deadline counted from delivery of the notice; otherwise the lease will be ended under art. 315 of the Turkish Code of Obligations and legal steps taken for eviction. The notary is asked to serve one copy, keep one and give one back to you.
- Can I use a foreign ID number?
- Yes. An 11-digit number starting with 99, the Turkish foreigner ID, is printed after the name as Yabancı Kimlik No; any other number is labelled T.C. Kimlik No, so this box is for one of those two, not a passport number. The recipient’s number is optional.
- 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.
