Title: Rent Shock: Landlords Can Raise Prices 35% in Turkey

**Article:** Official inflation data has set a new limit for rent increases in Turkey. The rate is 34.88% for residential and commercial properties. This rule applies to rental contracts that are up for renewal. It means landlords can legally raise prices by this percentage for the next year. The announcement follows the latest consumer price index (TÜFE) data. While general monthly inflation was 0.89%, the rise in food prices was higher. The rent increase rate is tied to the 12-month average inflation figure. This legal ceiling aims to balance tenant protection with landlords' costs.
