All services and terms

Your property.Our day-to-day.

Here’s how we take the operation off your hands.

I The burden

The flat is yours. The keys are yours. So is every phone call.

Late rent. Repairs. Deadlines. One property, and every call comes to you.

You don’t have to take every call.

II The search

You start looking for a simpler way.

One team for the rent, the repairs and the paperwork.

III · Handover

You hand us the keys. We take care of the day-to-day.

Contract. Power of attorney. Move-in inventory. A clear handover, without travelling to Turkey.

IV Lightness

Now we are the single point of contact.

We handle the work covered by your package within the authority you give us and keep you informed. Anything beyond those limits needs your approval.

The keys are with us. The decisions stay with you.

V · Trust

Every payment accounted for. Every step clear.

Rent collected, expenses paid and money transferred: every item in your monthly statement.

Rent collected

The tenant has paid; the amount reaches our account under our collection authority.

Expenses paid

Building dues, tax, insurance and pre-approved maintenance paid.

Management fee invoiced

By e-invoice. No rent collected, no monthly management fee.

Transfer completed

The net amount is in your account; in foreign currency for owners abroad.

Owner statement sent

In your inbox: rent collected, service fee, VAT and expenses, itemised.

Your rent in your account. The details in your statement.

Is this for me?

Your property is in Istanbul. You can be elsewhere.

Can I manage this from abroad?

Yes. The power of attorney can be issued at the Turkish consulate where you live. You do not need to travel to Turkey.

Which tasks will StayIstanbul handle?

Tenant placement, rent collection or full management. Choose the tasks you want us to handle; each package builds on the previous one.

Do I still approve the decisions?

Yes. Work above the limit you authorise in your contract waits for your approval. The keys stay with us; the decisions stay with you.

How can I track rental activity and payments?

Collection packages include a monthly owner statement. Full management also includes two on-site inspections a year.

What if the rent is not paid?

No rent collected means no monthly management fee. Collection is followed up under your package; setup fees and third-party costs remain separate.

Tax filing: Not included in Just the Tenant or Rent Collection. In Hand Over the Keys, our partner licensed accountant prepares and files the annual rental income tax return with your approval.
Legal follow-up and costs: Legal follow-up — formal notice, enforcement and eviction if needed — is included in Rent Collection and Hand Over the Keys and is handled by our legal team with your approval. Lawyer’s fees for this follow-up are included in the monthly management fee in Hand Over the Keys; in Rent Collection they are charged at cost. Court and enforcement fees are separate in every package, passed on with receipts and no markup.
Court costs and fees: Passed through at the amount paid; no markup is added.
The property’s own costs: Building dues, property tax, DASK and home insurance premiums, and third-party fees such as notary costs are the property’s own costs; they are passed through at the amount paid, with no markup.
Short-term rentals: The three packages cover long-term residential tenancies. Short-term (Airbnb-style) letting is a separate service for flats suitable for a tourism letting permit; its scope and fee are agreed separately.
