Guide to renting a house in Turkey
If you are traveling to Turkey as a tourist, you should keep in mind that apartments for hotel stays of less than a week are usually cheaper than renting a house. If you are planning to live in Turkey, you should pay attention to the security of the neighborhood and the quality of construction of the apartment, as well as the facilities of the houses, when examining the apartment for rent. It is better not to choose only the price of the house, because in some parts of important cities, Turkey has old apartments without low-cost amenities that are not suitable for living. Due to the high cost of fuel in Turkey, transportation costs are even more expensive than some European countries; Be careful in choosing where you live and the distance to work or study.
During your stay in Turkey, you may be introduced to houses by unreliable people and non-legal groups at low prices, but never rent them.

It is good to know that in addition to face-to-face visits, you can search for the desired apartment through real estate websites in different cities of Turkey, along with looking at house photos and checking prices. For those who are financially able, we suggest that you consider buying a property in Turkey, as this way you can obtain a permanent residence visa for your spouse and children under the age of 18.
