Istanbul rental management for owners abroad

Letting a property and managing it after move-in require different levels of support. StayIstanbul helps owners abroad or outside Istanbul find tenants, arrange rent collection or hand over ongoing management. Choose the service according to the tasks you want us to handle; agree the scope and approval limits before work starts.

01No collection, no fee
The management fee is charged only on rent actually collected; if the rent does not come in, neither does our fee.
02Transparent pricing
Three packages, three rates, setup fees published on this site; no hidden charges.
03Single point of contact
Contractors, the insurance agent and our partner law firm are all coordinated through us; the tax return is handled by our partner licensed accountant. The tenant comes to us too; you deal with us and no one else.

Choose the support your property needs

Finding a tenant

Just the Tenant is for owners who need help preparing the listing, handling viewings and placing a tenant. After move-in, you remain responsible for monthly collection and maintenance. If you also want those tasks handled, compare the ongoing packages before deciding.

Collecting rent

Rent Collection adds monthly collection, follow-up and an owner statement. It suits an owner who wants help tracking payments while retaining responsibility for maintenance. Maintenance coordination and tax filing are outside this package.

Ongoing management

Hand Over the Keys adds maintenance coordination and the other services listed in the full management package, including income tax filing assistance. We work within the authority and spending limits agreed with you. Third-party work and property expenses are separate from the management fee.

Starting with a vacant or tenanted property

For a vacant property, begin with its condition, availability and access arrangements. Identify any work needed before photography and viewings. The rent-ready checklist helps organise the condition record, inventory and keys.

For a tenanted property, start with the current lease, payment position and outstanding maintenance. Agree a handover date and who handles tasks already in progress. Our guide for property owners abroad explains the wider preparations for managing from a distance.

What to prepare for the first conversation

  • The district and a short description of the property.
  • Whether it is vacant, occupied or currently advertised.
  • The tasks you want to keep and those you want us to handle.
  • Any known maintenance issue or approaching handover date.
  • Your availability for a call and who can provide access to the property.

These details are enough to discuss the service scope. Identity, banking and tenant documents can be requested separately through the agreed onboarding process; do not include them in a public enquiry.

Decisions that stay with you

You provide accurate property information, agree the service scope and authorise the access needed for the work. You also approve spending or decisions outside the agreed limits. Before handover, clarify how approvals will be recorded and who can be contacted when a decision is needed.

See how we work for the reporting and payment process.

Questions before you choose

Is rental income guaranteed
No. A monthly management fee tied to rent actually collected is not a rent guarantee. Setup charges, tenant placement charges and property expenses are separate; the applicable amounts and inclusions are listed on the packages page.
Can an existing tenant stay when management changes
A management handover can be discussed for an occupied property. We first review the existing records and the authority required. Changing the manager does not itself settle arrears, a dispute or an outstanding repair; each open item needs an agreed next step.
Are short stays included
The three packages describe long-term residential letting. Short-term letting is considered separately, subject to the property's applicable permit requirements and an agreed scope.

Discuss your Istanbul property

Tell us the district, whether there is a tenant and which tasks you would like to hand over. We can then discuss the appropriate service scope.

Property management, from handover to everyday care.

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

Late rent, a repair call at night, the annual increase negotiation, tax and insurance deadlines. Each one comes from somewhere else, none of them keeps to your hours, and all of them land on you.

You start looking for a simpler way.

Who collects the rent, who goes when something breaks, who files the tax return? What if the tenant stays for years and the rent falls below market? Eventually you write to someone: could we have a call?

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

Contract, power of attorney, move-in inventory. The power of attorney is issued at the Turkish consulate in the country you live in; you do not need to travel to Turkey. From that day on, the tenant, contractors and the law firm all come through us; you deal with one point of contact. The tax return is handled by our partner licensed accountant.

Now we are the single point of contact.

From now on the tenant calls us, not you. Maintenance requests, late-payment follow-up, formal notice, renewal: all inside one contract. Urgent jobs below the limit you authorise in the contract go ahead without waiting; anything above that limit waits for your approval. Sixty days before the lease ends, we calculate the increase from the CPI rate and comparable market analysis.
