Disputes That Arise Most Often in Konyaaltı

Konyaaltı includes densely populated neighbourhoods such as Liman, Hurma, Sarısu, Uncalı, Altınkum and Molla Yusuf. Housing stock is growing quickly and tourism activity is intense. This shapes the kind of disputes that arise here.

Tenancy and eviction

High demand for rented housing brings frequent questions on the determination of rent, the lawfulness of increases under the Turkish Code of Obligations, and eviction. Eviction on the ground of the landlord's own need, eviction for default in payment, and eviction at the end of the ten-year extension period are each subject to different conditions and notice periods. Further detail is on our real estate and tenancy law page.

Condominium and site management

Multi-block sites governed by a management plan are common in Konyaaltı. Arrears in common charges, use of shared areas, annulment of decisions taken by the owners' assembly, alterations contrary to the approved project and noise complaints are all dealt with under the Condominium Law. In such matters the management plan, the minutes of the owners' assembly and written records form the basis of the case.

Employment claims arising from tourism

Seasonal work is widespread in the hotels, restaurants and guesthouses of the district. This gives rise to claims for severance and notice pay, overtime and weekly rest entitlements, determination of unregistered service before the Social Security Institution, and disputes over the termination of employment. In seasonal work the calculation of the period of service and the date of termination directly affect the amount claimed. See our employment law page for more.

Matters concerning foreign nationals

Konyaaltı is among the districts where foreign nationals most often buy property and take up residence. Title deed procedures, restrictions on military zones and surface area, applications for citizenship through property acquisition, residence and work permits, and appeals against deportation decisions all fall within this area. Where a foreign national is party to inheritance or divorce proceedings, recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment may also be required. Further detail is on our immigration law page.

Family and criminal matters

Divorce, alimony, custody and division of property, together with criminal files at the investigation and prosecution stages, are among the matters most frequently brought to the office. See our family law and criminal law pages.

Which Courts Have Jurisdiction

Konyaaltı does not have a separate courthouse. Disputes arising in the district are heard at the Antalya Courthouse. The competent court depends on the nature of the matter:

• Divorce, alimony, custody and matrimonial property: Antalya Family Courts
• Tenancy, eviction, title deed and condominium matters: Antalya Civil Courts of Peace and Civil Courts of First Instance
• Employer and employee disputes: Antalya Labour Courts (mediation is mandatory before proceedings)
• Criminal files: Antalya Criminal Courts of First Instance and Assize Courts
• Administrative acts and conduct: Antalya Administrative Courts
• Consumer disputes: Antalya Consumer Court or the Consumer Arbitration Committee

Rules on territorial jurisdiction vary with the dispute: the location of the property, the residence of the defendant or the place of performance of the contract may each be decisive. Identifying the competent court correctly before filing avoids procedural delay.

Preparing for a First Meeting

Bringing the relevant documents to the first meeting makes the process quicker: contracts, title deed records, notices and service documents, bank receipts, correspondence, any existing case file details and identification. Documents may also be sent electronically in advance.

Legal fees are determined on the basis of the Minimum Fee Tariff published each year by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations, and a written fee agreement is drawn up.
