Protection of property and property in Turkey: key aspects of legislation

Property and property are the most important elements of the independence and well-being of a citizen. Any illegal interference in this area may be the subject of both civil and criminal proceedings.

Criminal liability for home invasion in Turkey

The Turkish Criminal Code strictly protects the privacy of the home. Illegal entry into a home, committed by deception or secretly, is considered a crime. Such actions may result in criminal charges and penalties. If the purpose of entry is theft or robbery, liability becomes more severe.

Can government authorities carry out procedural actions in your home?

The right to inviolability of housing is one of the basic rights of citizens. Restriction of this right is permitted only on the basis of law. For example, procedural actions, such as seizure of property, search or investigative experiment, can only be carried out if there are legal grounds. At the same time, you must be notified of the reasons and grounds for such actions.

Property damage: civil or criminal?

The classification of property damage depends on the nature and scale of the damage caused. The Turkish Criminal Code provides for liability for actions that threaten public safety and lead to partial or complete destruction of property. Our criminal lawyers can help you determine how to proceed in your specific situation.

Property fraud

Fraud also falls under the category of property offenses. If a person deceives you into doing something that harms you or others, this may be grounds for criminal charges. For example, if, when buying real estate in Turkey, you are promised one property for $1,000,000, and according to documents they transfer another, worth $100,000, this is fraud and a reason to file a lawsuit. In such situations, forgery of documents may also appear.

Responsibility for breaking the law

Responsibility for property crimes in Turkey depends on their severity and circumstances. For example:

• For theft, the term of imprisonment varies from 6 months to 5 years.
• For violation of the inviolability of housing - from 6 months to 3 years.

However, these terms may vary depending on the presence of aggravating or mitigating circumstances, as well as the identity of the perpetrator.
