Istanbul's rental market runs almost entirely on local Turkish listing sites and WhatsApp groups most newcomers never find — and the listings that are in English skew toward tourist-priced, short-term units. We do the searching, screening, and video walkthroughs, and hand you a shortlist of real options worth actually viewing.
What's included
- Everything in the Istanbul Route Check
- 5-8 real rental listings matched to your budget and preferred neighborhood
- Pre-screened for foreigner-friendly landlords
- Curated walk-through videos from local property agents or our on-the-ground team
- A localized contract checklist highlighting common rental terms to watch for
- DASK earthquake insurance guidance
- Guidance on negotiating rent and deposit
What this is NOT: a licensed rental agency. We don’t sign, co-sign, or negotiate the lease on your behalf — you view and decide, we do the searching and screening.
