Author: Luxury Estate Turkey Viewed 952 times 23 February 2025

When buying property in Turkey, it’s important to consider not only the cost of the apartment but also regular maintenance fees, such as the aidat. This mandatory contribution covers the upkeep of the residential complex and ensures a comfortable living environment. In this article, we’ll explain how much the aidat costs, what determines its amount, and how foreign buyers can make their payments.

What is Aidat?

Aidat is a compulsory monthly payment charged to property owners in residential complexes across Turkey. It applies to most apartments in cities like Antalya, Alanya, Istanbul, Izmir, and others, covering the expenses related to the maintenance of shared areas within the complex.

Sample Aidat Payment Receipt

Sample Aidat Payment Receipt

A typical aidat receipt includes a detailed breakdown of all services provided for the apartment and the complex, with the cost of each service listed. It also shows the payer's name and the payment date, and is signed by the complex/apartment manager.

What Does Aidat Cover?

Aidat contributes to the maintenance and servicing of the complex, including: ✔ Cleaning and upkeep of communal areas (stairs, hallways, entrances).
✔ Maintenance of engineering systems (elevators, heating, air conditioning, water supply).
✔ Security services, including CCTV and concierge services.
✔ Landscaping, garden maintenance, and pool upkeep.
✔ Repairs and maintenance of shared equipment.

📌 Tip: Before purchasing a property, make sure to confirm with the developer or property management company the aidat fee for the complex.

💸 How is the Aidat Calculated?

The amount of aidat depends on three key factors: 🔹 Apartment Size – The larger the property, the higher the fee.
🔹 Complex Amenities – Features like swimming pools, gyms, spas, and playgrounds will increase the aidat cost.
🔹 Level of Service – In high-end complexes with round-the-clock security and concierge services, the aidat will be higher.

👉 How Can Foreigners Pay the Aidat?

Foreign property owners can pay the aidat in two ways:
1️⃣ Through a bank – Set up automatic payments through online banking with any Turkish bank.
2️⃣ In cash – If your complex allows for payments through the management company.

💡 Important: In some complexes, payments may be monthly, quarterly, or annual. Be sure to confirm the payment schedule to avoid late fees.
