The rapidly rising housing and rental prices in Istanbul are pushing more and more people to seek alternative living arrangements every day. This situation makes homes in areas far from the city center and surrounded by nature more attractive, while an interesting advertisement shared in Şile has drawn attention.



NO RENT BUT RESPONSIBILITY



The advertisement, which quickly became a topic on social media, was posted for a 1+1 detached house located in Şile. The house is approximately 50 square meters in size. At first glance, it seems attractive since no rent is requested, but the details of the advertisement change the perspective.

The house is located on a large plot of 16 acres, and no rent is requested from the person who will live there. However, the responsibility for the garden and agricultural work on this large land will belong to the person using the house.



HEALTH STATUS AND PHYSICAL FITNESS ARE PRIORITY



The advertisement particularly emphasizes that candidates must be physically active and healthy. The reason for this is the regular maintenance of the land and the agricultural work to be done. According to the homeowner, this responsibility should be undertaken by individuals under a certain age and without any health problems. Additionally, this house is not suitable for those considering a short stay or those not ready for this lifestyle.



A SHORT INTRODUCTION LETTER IS ALSO REQUIRED



Another striking aspect of the advertisement is the application process. Candidates are asked to send a short introduction letter explaining why they want to live in this house via WhatsApp. It is stated that suitable candidates will be contacted based on evaluations made from this letter.



Here are the conditions mentioned in the advertisement;



"Please inquire for location information. Rental house within 16 acres of land will not charge rent. No salary will be paid. The person living here will have some responsibilities within the 16 acres of garden. The house is 1+1 – 50 m2. Those who are middle-aged, without health problems, and can do agricultural work seriously and wish to stay for a long time should send their introduction letter via WhatsApp."
