Security Deposit Regulations in Turkey

Expert Legal Assistance for Security Deposits in Rental Agreements

Security deposits are a common feature of rental agreements in Turkey, designed to protect landlords against potential damages or unpaid rent. However, disputes regarding deposit amounts, conditions for deductions, and the return process are common, particularly for foreign tenants. At Bayraktar Law Firm, we provide specialized legal consultancy to ensure compliance with Turkish security deposit regulations.

Key Legal Considerations for Security Deposits

Under Turkish law, landlords may request a security deposit not exceeding three months’ rent. The deposit must be held in a bank account if the rental period exceeds one year. Tenants and landlords often face disputes over what constitutes acceptable deductions, making legal guidance essential.
