Rent Adjustment

"How is commercial rent adjusted in Turkey?"

Quick Answer

Roofed commercial-lease renewal rent is assessed under Code of Obligations Article 344. The method depends on the lease duration, currency and renewal circumstances. Review the increase clause, applicable index, comparable evidence, notice and claim timing; a demand alone does not establish the new rent.

Scope and Legal Distinctions

For roofed commercial premises, renewal rent is assessed under Code of Obligations Article 344. The statutory approach distinguishes ordinary renewals, longer-running leases and foreign-currency arrangements; a landlord's demand alone does not set the lawful rent.

What to Check in Practice

Review the commencement and renewal dates, currency, existing increase clause, applicable index and comparable evidence. Assess notice, filing timing and mandatory mediation for the proposed claim.
