Non-payments on the part of the tenant do not give grounds for the landlord to engage in arbitrariness: experts once again warned the owners of housing about this.
Even if the tenant is a malicious defaulter, he still has some rights, in particular, to personal space. Therefore, it is categorically not recommended, instead of going to court, to break into a rented apartment without the tenant's demand and consent, especially in his absence; change locks, turn off electricity, take personal belongings on account of debt, etc. In this and similar cases, if the tenant decides to file a complaint to the court, the consequences for the owner can be very serious.
In particular, violation of personal space (penetration into the house) is provided for by sanctions in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Turkey and is fraught with imprisonment for a period of 6 months to 2 years, if the injured tenant proves it. Moreover, if the crime of violation of housing inviolability is committed at night, the term can be doubled.
The landlord also risks imprisonment in case of illegal confiscation of the tenant's property.
So the only legal way to get the rent due, if the tenant is in debt, is to go to court: all issues of this kind should be resolved exclusively in the legal field. After all, enforcement proceedings may also be initiated against residents or a criminal case may be initiated.
Excessive overstatement of rent is also fraught with serious sanctions for the owner of residential real estate.
It was also recently reported that the commission to the realtor may double from the beginning of 2023.
