Groundbreaking Reforms to Simplify Lease Procedures in Turkey
The Ministry of Finance Launches a New Era for Electronic Lease Contracts via the e-Devlet Portal
The Turkish Ministry of Treasury and Finance has announced its readiness to introduce a new law requiring rental contracts to be signed electronically through the e-Government portal, "e-Devlet." This initiative aims to simplify and expedite the rental process between property owners and tenants, with implementation expected in the near future. Licensed real estate agents will also be able to use this system by the end of the year.
The electronic lease contract system will be introduced in two phases: in the first phase, property owners and tenants will be able to complete rental agreements directly through the "e-Devlet" portal, where the owner creates the contract, and the tenant approves it electronically. The second phase will enable licensed real estate agents to prepare contracts and send them to both the owner and tenant for approval through the portal.
Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mehmet Şimşek, stated that these reforms represent "fundamental changes aimed at reducing bureaucracy, saving citizens time and effort, and facilitating access to property valuation information across Turkey."
