Rental Law
Rental Law is a branch of law that regulates the relationship between tenants and landlords, shaped by the provisions in the Turkish Code of Obligations and judicial precedents. This area of law covers a wide range, from the preparation of rental contracts to resolving disputes arising from them.
What is Rental Law?
Rental Law regulates the transfer of the right to use a movable or immovable property to another person in exchange for a specific payment.
Tenant: The person who has the right to use the rented property.

The rental relationship is based on a rental contract that governs the mutual rights and obligations of the parties.
