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 partner licensed accountant; 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. In the call we can give a general rental range for the district; a firm rent figure comes only after we have looked at 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. Lawyer’s fees for rental legal follow-up are included in the monthly management fee in Hand Over the Keys and charged at cost in Rent Collection. 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.
- Lawyer’s fees for rental legal follow-up are included in the monthly management fee in Hand Over the Keys and charged at cost in Rent Collection. Court, service and enforcement costs paid to third parties carry no markup.
