This guide provides general information. Confirm conditions tied to application type, citizenship and transaction date for your own case with the competent authority and independent legal adviser.
Prepared with AI assistance and checked against institutional sources. Have an independent specialist review the documents and terms of your own transaction.
Parties and address
Verify the landlord’s identity and authority, full address and flat number. The Tax Department notice asks for parties’ identity and contact details to accompany new rental contracts. Inspect a representative’s authorisation; a listing account alone does not prove ownership.
Build a payment table
Write down the monthly amount, currency, due date, prepayment period and receiving account. If currency conversion applies, agree the rate date and institution. Show separately who receives commission, service charges and other fees; avoid counting the same item twice.
Deposit and inventory
Agree the deposit amount, permitted deductions, refund timing and supporting evidence in the contract. Record meter readings, key count and furniture in a photographed handover inventory. Mark existing damage; dated photographs and both parties’ confirmation can reduce later disputes.
Repairs and use
Clarify whom to contact and who pays for air-conditioning, appliance, plumbing and internet faults. Read communal charges, guest, pet and subletting conditions. Do not assume universal legal rules for these matters; have enforceability assessed by a local legal adviser.
Term and departure
Specify start and end dates, renewal, price changes and early departure. Do not automatically import Türkiye’s rent-increase limits into a TRNC contract. Confirm stamping, approval and tax obligations for the current transaction with the Tax Department; do not assume one fixed rate for every rental.
Signing and comparison
Obtain the full text in a language you understand; reconcile different-language versions before signing. Leave no blanks, retain attachments and keep payment records. Compare EvimAda listings over the same term and total cost; publication is not proof of landlord authority or legal approval of the contract.
