Rental laws and regulations.
Protecting our community and making it safe for Green Park Villages owners is critically and important to us.
There are a number of rules and regulations a property owner must follow in order to rent property in turkey legally. Until recently many chose to overlook the laws as they were rarely enforced. The difference in 2017 is that authorities have become far stricter in following procedures due to the State of Emergency. Property owners must now adhere to tax regulations and the GIYKIMBIL ID registration system to make sure authorities know who is in the country and where they are staying so they can find them should they need to. This helps Turkey limit the chances of terrorist activities and is a common practice across Europe.
These procedures apply to those renting their property on a short term basis to paying guests only (e.g. holidaymakers). In short, you have three options; use an agent (the easiest and most straightforward way), set up a limited company or, if you have Turkish citizenship or a work permit, operate under a B&B license.
