The rent dispute between actor Yılmaz Bayraktar and the landlord was taken to court. The landlord, who wanted to increase the rent of the apartment for which Bayraktar paid 4,250 TL per month to 25,000 TL, filed a lawsuit. However, the court rejected the landlord's request for a rent increase and ruled in favor of the actor.
Actor Yılmaz Bayraktar became involved in a legal dispute with his landlord over the home he lived in as a tenant in Beyoğlu, Istanbul. As the dispute, which began after the landlord demanded an approximately 6-fold rent increase, was taken to court, the court ruled in favor of the famous actor.
HE WANTED TO INCREASE THE 4,250 TL RENT TO 25,000 TL
Yılmaz Bayraktar signed a lease with landlord Jörg S. in 2021 and moved into the apartment in Beyoğlu. However, in 2024, a dispute arose between the parties over the rent amount.
The landlord of the actor, who pays a monthly rent of 4,250 TL, wanted this amount to be increased to 25,000 TL. Bayraktar, however, did not accept the request for an approximately 6-fold increase.
"HE LIVES CHEAPLY COMPARED TO COMPARABLE HOMES"
After his request was not accepted, landlord Jörg S. applied to the court and filed a rent adjustment lawsuit. In the petition he submitted to the court, the landlord argued that Bayraktar paid much lower rent compared to similar homes in the area.
Claiming that the current rent was below market conditions, the landlord demanded that the rent amount be redetermined.
COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF THE ACTOR
In his defense submitted to the court, Yılmaz Bayraktar stated that the requested rent increase was unrealistic and that increasing the current amount approximately 6-fold was unacceptable.
The parties' lawyers were present at the case heard at the Istanbul Civil Court of Peace. After the defenses, the court announced its decision and rejected the landlord's request for rent adjustment. Thus, Bayraktar left the legal battle with his landlord with a ruling in his favor.
