What must now be complied with:

▪Short-term rentals are less than 100 days. The logic is that tourists coming to Turkey cannot stay in Turkey for more than 90 days at a time.

▪To rent out an apartment, you must obtain a license from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and post a sign at the entrance to the building stating that it is for rent.

▪ The Ministry will be authorized to issue licenses. The fees for the paperwork and signage have not yet been determined, but this will also be done by the Ministry.

▪The application for a license must be accompanied by the consent of all apartment owners in the building where the apartment for rent is located.

Attention!

The idea is not that the license is obtained by the owner of the apartment. The license is obtained for the whole building. And in order to get a license, it is necessary to hold a meeting, where unanimously decide that the building is suitable for renting.

The system has not been tested yet, but it seems to be a natural solution that developers will obtain the consent of the owners to rent out apartments in the building. The signature on the rental consent document would become part of the deal.

▪ If the same owner rents out more than five apartments in one building, he must register his company.

▪ It is the landlord’s responsibility to obtain authorization. But if it is not the landlord himself who rents out the apartment, it is possible to rent it out through certified category travel agencies.
