The court has reached a verdict in the rent dispute between actor Yılmaz Bayraktar and his landlord, Jörg S., regarding an apartment in Beyoğlu. According to a report by Sabah, the rent adjustment lawsuit filed by the landlord, who sought to increase the 4,250 TL rent that Bayraktar has been paying since 2021 to 25,000 TL, was rejected.
In the petition submitted to the court, landlord Jörg S. argued that Bayraktar was paying a lower rent compared to comparable residences. Citing the rental prices of similar apartments in the area, the landlord requested that the current rent amount be adjusted to market conditions.
In his response petition to the court, Bayraktar stated that the requested increase was unrealistic. The actor expressed that the new rent of 25,000 TL amounted to approximately six times his current rent and that it was impossible for him to accept such an increase.
Lawyers for both parties attended the hearing held at the Istanbul Civil Court of Peace. After hearing the defenses, the court concluded the case and found the landlord's request for a rent adjustment to be unfounded.
With this decision, Bayraktar has won the lawsuit filed with the demand to increase the rent to 25,000 TL.
