Reenter / Tenants
Renting that’s fair to tenants
No deposit, no agency fee when the landlord lists directly, a lease that follows the law and rent paid in the app with a receipt every month. Here is how it works, what it costs and what your rights are.

Find your rent budget and the areas that fit
Tell us about your household, income, work and what matters to you. We suggest a rent range, the home size you need and the areas that fit best, with the reasons.
Best-fitting areas
Area rents are illustrative estimates for October 2026 for a typical home of the size shown; commute times are typical public-transport times. After launch they come from real listings and agreed rents on Reenter. Your inputs stay in your browser.
How it works
Six steps, from search to move-out
- YouSearch
Search by area or describe the home. Every listing shows the full rent, building fee, floor plan and the house rules.
- YouApply
Apply with your Reenter profile. ID and income are verified once, with your consent, and your score sets where your premium starts.
- LandlordGet an answer
The landlord sees verified applicants with the reasons behind each score and decides. You hear back in the app.
- BothSign and pay
Sign the lease in the app and pay the first month’s rent, the first Reenter Cover premium and the service fee. No deposit.
- You and ReenterLive there
Rent, premium and fee are paid each month by card, transfer or autopay. Reenter passes the full rent to the landlord within one business day. Report repairs in the app.
- BothRenew or move out
At renewal the increase can’t go above the CPI cap. When you leave, a photo report closes the lease and there is no deposit to wait for.
Where your money goes
You pay in the app; the landlord gets the full rent
Example for a ₺30,000 home at the standard 7.5% start.
Your premium
It gets cheaper the longer things go well
Your Reenter score sets the starting step. Every six months without a claim you move up a step and pay less.
- Start: 6.5%, 7.5% or 9% of rent, by score
- After 18 clean months from 7.5%: 4.5%
- A paid claim moves you down one or two steps
- Your step moves with you to your next Reenter home
Your rights
Tenant rights in Türkiye, in plain words
These come from the Turkish Code of Obligations (TBK) and apply whatever the lease says.
Deposit
If a landlord asks for one, it can’t be more than three months’ rent and must sit in a bank account in your name (TBK 342). On Reenter there is no deposit.
Rent increases
At each renewal, at most the 12-month average change in CPI (TBK 344). After five years a court can set a fair market rent.
Leaving
Tell the landlord at least 15 days before the term ends. Without notice the lease renews for another year (TBK 347).
Staying
The landlord can’t end the lease just because the term ended. Eviction needs a legal ground such as the owner’s genuine need, major renovation or two justified notices in a year (TBK 350–352), or a ten-year extension period to pass.
Repairs
The landlord keeps the home fit to live in and fixes defects (TBK 301, 306). You handle small cleaning and maintenance (TBK 317).
Late rent
Before ending a lease for unpaid rent, the landlord must give you at least 30 days in writing to pay (TBK 315).
Disputes
Rent and eviction disputes go to mediation first, by law (Law 6325, art. 18/B). The app keeps the lease, payments and messages you’ll need.
Equal treatment
Refusing to rent to someone because of religion, ethnicity, nationality, language or disability is a crime (TCK 122). Report it to us.
General information, not legal advice. For your own case, speak to a lawyer or a mediator.
Reenter score
What raises your score
Only things you choose to share, and you always see the reasons.
- Verifying your income, from payroll or bank data
- A rent that fits your income: about 30% or less
- Rent paid on time, on Reenter or proven from before
- A reference from a previous landlord
Questions
Tenant questions
Do I need a guarantor?
No. Reenter Cover is the landlord’s protection, so listings on Reenter ask for neither a deposit nor a guarantor. A guarantor only helps if you have no income of your own, for example as a student: it can raise your Reenter score and so lower your starting rate.
What does it cost me each month?
The rent, your Reenter Cover premium (6.5–9% of the rent to start, lower over time) and a payment service fee of 1.5% of the rent. The building fee (aidat) and bills are paid as usual.
Can I pay rent by credit card?
Yes, by credit or debit card, bank transfer or autopay. You get a receipt for every payment in the app.
What if the landlord doesn’t fix something?
Report it in the app with photos so there’s a dated record. If it still isn’t fixed in a reasonable time, the law lets you ask for the repair, a rent reduction or, for serious defects, to end the lease (TBK 306). Mediation comes before court.
What if I need to leave before the lease ends?
You stay responsible for the rent for a reasonable period or until a suitable new tenant takes over (TBK 325). Reenter can list the home to find that tenant faster.
