A new legal change in Turkey aimed at excessive residential-complex fees seeks to prevent steep fee increases and arbitrary operating-budget practices. The measure affects large housing developments that are home to many households.
Property lawyers and experts, speaking to Anadolu Ajansı, say the new rules should make fee-setting more predictable. According to them, the change has the potential to reduce the disputes that frequently arise between residents and complex managements.
How the change works in practice will become clearer through the management and budget meetings held in residential complexes. Lawyers say it will be watched in the coming period how fully the rules are applied and how any disputes are resolved.
