The rental era on e-Devlet has officially begun! Here is what you need to do step-by-step

The implementation regarding the preparation of rental agreements via e-Devlet has begun. In the first phase, e-Devlet users over the age of 18 can benefit from the application. In the first part of the service, the agreement prepared by individual property owners via "Rental Agreement Transactions" on e-Devlet will be approved by the tenant, again through e-Devlet.

According to the report in Sabah Newspaper, properties with up to 10 shareholders can also be rented out through this service. For rental agreements created via the service, a time-stamped "barcoded document" is generated, and document verification can be performed via e-Devlet.

The second phase of the service will be made available at the end of the year. In the continuation of the regulation, real estate consultants and authorized persons will be included in the process with the role of preparing agreements and submitting them for the approval of the parties (property owner and tenant).

The work on regulating rental agreements via e-Devlet was initiated following citizens' demands regarding the resolution of disputes in this area.

The service aims to relieve consumers of the burden of submitting rental agreements to institutions. Furthermore, it is planned to obtain data through these agreements to create the Turkey Real Estate Value Map.
