Eviction under lease agreements is a significant legal process for landlords and is subject to specific procedural rules under the Turkish Code of Obligations.
In cases of non-payment of rent, the landlord must first send a written notice demanding payment within thirty days. If payment is not made within this period, the landlord gains the right to file an eviction lawsuit.
Eviction due to need applies when the landlord, their spouse, or their descendants or ascendants require the property for residential or business use. In this case, the lawsuit must be filed within one month of the lease term's expiration.
Additionally, once the ten-year extension period has elapsed, the landlord may terminate the agreement without stating any reason. However, if this right is not exercised within the given period, it is automatically extended for another year.
Handling the eviction process correctly is essential for protecting the rights of both the landlord and the tenant. Seeking legal support at the outset of the process helps prevent potential loss of rights.
