Eviction by Release Undertaking

What Is Eviction by Means of a Release Undertaking?

A release undertaking is a written declaration by which the tenant agrees to vacate the leased premises on a specified date. Pursuant to the Turkish Code of Obligations, if such an undertaking is valid, the landlord may demand that the tenant surrender possession of the premises as of the agreed date.

Conditions for the Validity of a Release Undertaking

For a release undertaking to be legally valid, certain conditions must be satisfied:

• It must be executed in writing.

• It must be signed after the delivery of the leased premises.

• It must specify a clear and definite date of eviction.

If these requirements are not met, the undertaking shall be deemed invalid, and any claim for eviction based thereon may be rejected.

How to Initiate an Eviction Action Based on a Release Undertaking?

If the tenant fails to vacate the premises on the date undertaken, the landlord may commence enforcement proceedings or file an eviction lawsuit. Mismanagement of the process may result in the landlord losing the right to eviction.

The release undertaking constitutes a powerful legal instrument in favor of the landlord. Nevertheless, because its validity requirements and the ensuing litigation process involve technical complexities, obtaining professional legal assistance is of great importance.
