Renting in Istanbul: questions to ask before a viewing

Use the first conversation to confirm the practical details that determine whether a viewing is worth your time.

01

Monthly housing picture

Ask which recurring costs are separate from rent and confirm current amounts directly during the transaction process.

02

Daily-life fit

Confirm commute needs, furnishing, parking, lift access, outdoor space, building access and other practical requirements before building a shortlist.

03

Agreement questions

Do not assume terms from an advertisement. Review the actual agreement and any legal obligations with an appropriately qualified professional when needed.
