About
In Istanbul, on your behalf.
StayIstanbul is a boutique service company managing the long-term rental of investment homes in Istanbul. While you live in another city or country, your property is managed here under a single contract.
What we do
From tenant placement to tax filing, from monthly collection to eviction proceedings, the entire operation runs under a single contract. The tax return is handled by our own team; the contractors, the insurance agent and our partner law firm, which handles the legal proceedings, are all coordinated through us. The tenant comes to us too; you deal with us and no one else.
We work across the whole of Istanbul. We give a rental range only after looking at the district and the property itself; we publish detailed area guides for Şişli, Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu and Sarıyer.
We are a new brand. That is why we explain method rather than scale: the order in which the money moves and where it goes, who decides what in a repair and with what authority, and what happens on which day if the tenant does not pay. All of it is written on this site.
Legal backbone
Our partner law firm: CKAY Law Firm.
Leases, formal notices, enforcement and eviction proceedings are handled by our partner firm, Istanbul-based CKAY Law Firm, under a separate power of attorney you grant. In Hand Over the Keys the lawyer’s fee is covered by our management fee; official charges and costs are separate.
- The lease, the guarantor documents and the eviction undertaking executed after handover are prepared by the law firm.
- If the tenant is late, the formal notice and enforcement proceedings are handled by the same team, with your approval.
- In Hand Over the Keys the lawyer’s fee for collection proceedings is covered by our management fee; in the other two packages it is passed through at cost. The fee is set in a written agreement and may not fall below the Turkish Bar Association’s Minimum Legal Fee Tariff (Advocacy Law Arts. 163 and 164(4)). Court fees and expenses carry no markup.
Transparency mechanisms
We build trust with rules, not numbers.
- Paid every month
- The net amount reaches your account every month, on a regular schedule; a PDF statement comes with every transfer.
- No collection, no fee
- The management fee is charged only on rent actually collected.
- The 2,500 TL threshold
- Up to the limit you authorise in advance we act without waiting, above it with your approval; every job is reported with photos.
- Collection account
- If we are collecting, the rent is paid into our authorised collection account and recorded on your behalf; every line item shows separately on the statement.
- An inspection every six months
- A photographed condition report is sent to you.
- Decided together
- Rent, increases and major expenses are never decided without your approval.
