How We Prepare Rental Contracts: Legal Department Review

Short answer: In residential rental transactions in Antalya, the contract is prepared by our legal departments within Coldwell Banker Terra, who continuously follow changing legislation. The aim is to protect landlord and tenant from the start against disputes that may arise later.

How does the process work?

1. Introduction and needs assessment. The landlord's expectations (term, rent, tenant profile) and the tenant's needs are clarified.
2. Document and information check. Title deed details, identity, address, maintenance fee and bill status are checked.
3. Preparing the contract. In line with current Turkish Code of Obligations provisions, the clauses on increases, deposit, expenses and termination are written clearly.
4. Handover record. The fixtures and the condition of the home are documented with photos.
5. Signing and handover. The parties sign the contract and the keys are handed over.

Why does it matter?

• An incomplete or faulty contract causes loss of rights in eviction and payment disputes.
• The rules on rent increases, deposits and eviction are limited by legislation; a wrong clause may be considered invalid.
• A written and documented process makes proof easier if a warning or lawsuit is later needed.
