The landlord, who could not raise the rent he wanted, came from Istanbul to Ankara and brutally assaulted his tenant and her daughter.
The incident occurred on the evening of November 18 in the Baraj neighborhood of Altındağ district in Ankara. According to allegations, A.T. (38), who lives in Istanbul, found the 4,200 lira rent paid by his tenants Himmet Kaysal (58) and his daughter Seçil Kaysal (33) to be insufficient. A.T., who opposed the legal increase applied by the father and daughter, demanded that 20,000 lira be paid monthly for the house. A dispute broke out between the Kaysal family, who stated that the requested amount was illegal, and the landlord. Following the situation, A.T. came to Ankara and rented an empty shop on the street where the tenants lived to attack the family. A.T., who started living in the rented shop, encountered Seçil Kaysal, who was passing by with her child. Kaysal, who was attacked with an iron rod by A.T., called her father for help. Himmet Kaysal, who is 70% physically disabled and wanted to save his daughter, was also attacked by the landlord A.T. Police teams dispatched to the area intervened in the incident, and the injured father and daughter were taken to the hospital. The attacking landlord was detained.
FRACTURES OCCURRED IN THEIR BODIESDue to the attack they suffered, Seçil Kaysal sustained fractures in her ribs and left arm. Kaysal's father, who received 3 stitches on his head, had a broken nose. The father and daughter, who had bruises and swellings on different parts of their bodies, demanded that the attacking landlords receive the punishment they deserved. The family, who stated that they had been subjected to threats, insults, harassment, and similar attacks for nearly two years, expressed that they felt fear and anxiety due to what they experienced. Mother Kaysal, who said that the threats made against her disabled son hurt her the most, requested help from the authorities.
"HE TARGETED MY DISABLED SON AND SAID, 'I WILL MAKE YOU LIVE WITH THE PAIN OF THIS SON'"Victim Seçil Kaysal, who spoke about the incident they experienced, said: "I have been living here with my family for nearly four years. For the last one and a half years, I have been having constant problems with my landlord due to rent increases. Every time we went to court, a decision was made to increase the rent based on the legal increase, but the landlord did not accept it. He was threatening me through my disabled child. Yesterday, I was taking my son to the barber. He had rented a shop nearby. He suddenly came out from there. He started an argument. Targeting my disabled son, he said, 'I will make you live with the pain of this son.' He came up to me, punched me, and attacked me with a stick. I was dragged on the ground. The stick he had broke on me, and then he continued to hit me with an iron rod. I was beaten for 25 minutes. I have 3 stitches on my head. My left arm is completely broken. I have fractures in my ribs as well. If I do not heal, I may need surgery," she said.
"MY CHILD SAID, 'DON'T HIT MY MOM, HIT ME'"Kaysal stated that the landlords constantly tried to intimidate them, saying, "The landlord told us, 'I am the landlord. You will pay the rent I set. I do not recognize justice or law; you can complain wherever you want.' He also managed to have the restraining orders we obtained canceled. He demanded 20,000 lira rent from us. We applied the legal increase and started paying 4,200 lira. The landlord had previously cut off our electricity and water subscriptions four times. I am very scared. I have two children. One of them is already disabled. I cannot send him to school out of fear. I was assaulted in front of their eyes. My child said, 'Don't hit my mom, hit me.' Due to the threats, I had to send my child to another school. At this rate, I will take him out of this school as well," she said.
"I WANT HIM TO BE ARRESTED"Kaysal, who wants a solution to the situation, said, "I filed a complaint; he is currently at the police station. He will be referred to the prosecutor's office today. He will then appear before the judge. I want him to be arrested, and I expect the state to find a solution to this problem. My father was also assaulted. He has fractures in his nose. He is already 70% disabled due to a work accident. He also attacked my father with the stick he had," she stated. "HE SAYS TO ME, 'EITHER YOU WILL PAY 20,000 LIRA, OR I WILL KNOW HOW TO EVICT YOU FROM THIS HOUSE'"Father Himmet Kaysal stated that they had committed no crime, saying: "I am a disabled person. I have a total of 24 plates in my right leg and left arm. My daughter called me yesterday. She said, 'Dad, hurry, my landlord is assaulting me.' I don't know how I went there in this disabled state. When I got there, he started hitting me with a stick. Then he dragged me down the stairs. I have damage to my nose and eye. I have been threatened for 3 years. I applied the legal increase. The landlord comes to my door and says, 'Either you will pay 20,000 lira, or I will know how to evict you from this house.' He sends insulting messages to my daughter and threatens me and my family. Even though the court sees us as right, he does not comply with the decisions. He says, 'I do not recognize the government or the court.'
