Example
Example: a foreign tenant rents a furnished flat in Antalya for a year
John Example rents a flat in Konyaaltı, Antalya from Ayşe Örnek: 25,000 TL a month, due by the 5th, from 01.11.2026 for 12 months, with a deposit of 50,000 TL. The flat comes with a fridge, a washing machine and two air conditioners, which he types in Turkish, one per line. No guarantor.
- The rent is printed in figures and in words, 25.000,00 TL (yirmi beş bin Türk lirası), and the yearly rent is worked out: 12 × 25,000 = 300.000,00 TL.
- The deposit is two months’ rent, under the three-month cap of TBK art. 342. Anything over 75,000 TL here would be refused, with that limit named.
- A box left empty, such as the tenant’s address, prints as a line to fill in by hand at the signing.
- The nine special terms are fixed: rent by bank, the CPI cap on increases (art. 344), the deposit in a savings account, and 15 days’ notice before the end or the lease runs on a year (art. 347).

Frequently asked questions
- How much deposit?
- At most three months’ rent (TBK art. 342).
- How much can rent rise?
- By no more than the twelve-month average CPI change (TBK art. 344).
- Does the lease end after the 12 months?
- Not for a home unless the tenant gives notice at least 15 days before the end; otherwise it runs on for a year on the same terms. The contract also says the landlord cannot end it just because the term is over (TBK art. 347).
- Can a foreigner use it?
- Yes. The contract is in Turkish, for the landlord and any Turkish office that reads it, and your name goes in as you type it. ID-number boxes left empty are simply left off.
- What does the guarantor option add?
- Tick it and fill in the guarantor’s name, address and maximum: a clause makes them a joint guarantor (müteselsil kefil) up to that sum (TBK art. 583, 584), and they sign under a note that they must write the maximum, the words “müteselsil kefil” and the date by hand.
