Long Term Rental Istanbul

Long Term Rental Istanbul: Analyzes rental demand, operating costs, management, net yield and the risks that affect property income.

Verified facts and current context

GİB lists the 2026 residential rental-income exemption at TRY 58,000, but eligibility and filing duties depend on the taxpayer\'s circumstances and other income. A specific owner\'s tax bill therefore cannot be inferred from the exemption figure alone.

Current official context before deciding

Decision factors to measure

achievable rent and net yield
vacancy and depth of real demand
aidat and recurring operating cost
maintenance, renovation and contingency
taxes, fees and licences
lease quality and enforceable terms
resale liquidity and buyer depth

vacancy and depth of real demand

aidat and recurring operating cost

maintenance, renovation and contingency

Separate immediate repairs from annual maintenance and periodic refurbishment, and obtain quotes or technical estimates for major items. Add a contingency so that a low purchase price does not hide the cost of returning the property to usable or rentable condition.

taxes, fees and licences

Identify the exact tax, fee or licence, the responsible authority, tax year and owner/business status. Verify the current official rule and obtain written treatment where the outcome changes with seller, use or transaction type.

lease quality and enforceable terms

Review term, escalation, deposit, insurance, permitted use, maintenance allocation and termination/renewal rights, and assess the tenant’s payment strength where a lease already exists. Headline rent is not secure income when the lease covenant is weak.

resale liquidity and buyer depth
