In the Nazilli district of Aydın, the tension between a landlord and a tenant during an eviction led to claims that the tenant threatened, "I will burn the building," prompting police, fire, and medical teams to respond. Meanwhile, the tenant was seen lamenting against the high rent increase, saying, "I am addressing 85 million people, is this house worth 20 thousand TL?"
The long-standing rental dispute between Z.S., an Azerbaijani national living on the first floor of a two-story building in the Yıldıztepe neighborhood of Nazilli district in Aydın, and the landlord A.Y. has been taken to court.
“I WILL BURN THE BUILDING DURING EVICTION,” HE SAID, TEAMS SPRANG INTO ACTION
Claiming that the rent was intended to be raised to 20,000 TL, the tenant Z.S. stated that they could not reach an agreement and did not open the door to the landlord who came to the house with enforcement officers. Following Z.S.'s claim of "I will burn the building" during the tense situation, fire, health, and police teams were dispatched to the scene. The teams, which arrived at the scene shortly, took security measures in the surrounding area.
"I AM CALLING OUT TO 85 MILLION, DOES THIS HOUSE WORTH 20,000 TL?"
Describing his experiences by shouting from the window, Z.S. stated that he moved into the house in 2021 and initially agreed with the landlord under the promise of a family environment. Mentioning that he has two daughters, Z.S. claimed that the landlord did not allow his daughters into the house and that despite being told that water and electricity would be shared, he was charged more than he should have been. Claiming that the landlord's daughter demanded 20,000 TL from him, Z.S. expressed his discontent with the rent increase by saying, "I am calling out to 85 million, does this house worth 20,000 TL?"
"I AM THE ONE WHO IS VICTIMIZED"
Stating that he makes a living by doing scrap work and has a legal residence permit, Z.S. argued that if he is to be evicted, the moving expenses should be covered, saying, "I respect the court's decision; our necks are thinner than a hair. However, the extra money taken from me should be refunded. I am the one who is victimized." After discussions with the teams that arrived at the scene, the tenant was persuaded and granted additional time.
