What Is Urban Transformation and What Are the Requirements?

Urban transformation covers efforts to turn disaster-prone areas and unsafe buildings into safer places to live. Applicable procedures may fall under Law No. 6306 and related regulations. An older building is not automatically classified as risky; authorized institutions must carry out a technical assessment. Check the building's risk status, applicant eligibility, official notices, and project-specific arrangements separately.

Urban Transformation Process and Risky-Building Status Checks

The process generally includes risk assessment, notices and objections, owners' decisions, evacuation, demolition, and redevelopment. Timelines vary by building and official decisions. For status checks, use e-Devlet, the relevant municipality, and current guidance from the Urban Transformation Directorate.

Where to Apply for Urban Transformation and Which Documents Are Required?

2.Verify the Building's Official Status

Sign in to the Urban Transformation Application on e-Devlet and check your title deed records and the official notices posted on the building or sent to you. Age alone does not make a building eligible for risky-building status. Do not apply for rental assistance solely because your building is old if its risky-building status has not been officially confirmed. An owner or legal representative may commission a risk assessment from a Ministry-licensed firm, usually at their own cost. Verify licensed organizations through the Urban Transformation Directorate.

2.Don't Miss the Deadlines in Official Notices

Track the dates stated in the official notice. The objection period for a risky-building determination is generally 15 days. Objections must be submitted to the competent directorate where the building is located. Evacuation and demolition deadlines must be monitored separately. If a deadline has started, promptly request written guidance from the relevant provincial directorate or district municipality.

3.If You're a Property Owner, Review the Decision Documents and Contracts

业主应首先核对产权登记及土地份额。 与开发商或承建商签订的合同应明确: 更新后分配的独立房屋单元 房屋面积(平方米) 房屋交付时间 租金补助及搬迁费用的支付安排 履约担保 延期交付责任 合同解除条件 对于拒绝签字的业主,具体程序取决于正式通知及项目方案。 在《6306 号法律》适用的部分危险建筑地块中,如果无法达成一致,某些更新决策可以按照土地份额的简单多数通过。未参与决策的业主,其土地份额可能进入法律规定的通知和出售程序。 但不能假设这一规则适用于所有项目或区域类型。 应通过城市更新主管局法规页面及土耳其《官方公报》核对最新规定,并请独立律师审阅合同。 EN 对照 Owners should verify their title deeds and land shares. Ensure the developer's proposal and contract clearly specify: The new independent property unit Floor area in square meters Delivery schedule Rental and relocation payments Guarantees Remedies for delays Contract termination conditions Procedures involving owners who refuse to sign depend on the official notices and proposed terms. For certain risky-building parcels under Law No. 6306, implementation decisions may be made by a simple majority based on land shares when unanimity cannot be reached. Dissenting owners may be subject to statutory notification and share-sale procedures. Do not assume the same rules apply to every

4.Identify Your Beneficiary Category Before Applying for Assistance

首先确认您属于以下哪类申请人: 房屋业主 住宅租户 经营场所租户 因危险建筑认定而腾退或拆除房屋时: 业主: 可能符合按月领取租金补助的条件。 住宅租户: 符合条件时,可能获得一次性搬迁补助。 具体资格和金额取决于城市、建筑物所属项目类别,以及当前生效的官方指南。 补助不会自动发放,需要主动申请。 通常须在腾退或拆除之日起 1 年内提交申请。 在伊斯坦布尔: 普通危险建筑(Riskli Yapı): 中央政府租金补助通常向房屋所在的区级市政府申请。 危险区域(Riskli Alan)或储备建设区(Rezerv Yapı Alanı): 应按照该项目主管机构的公告办理。 具体操作: 先查看 e-Devlet 租金补助申请入口。 如果系统无法受理申请,联系建筑物所在区级市政府的城市更新或租金补助部门。 通过土耳其主管部门租金补助官方页面查询政策指南和各省补助金额。 EN 对照 First, identify whether you are: A property owner A residential tenant A business tenant If a building is evacuated or demolished because it is officially classified as risky: Owners may qualify for monthly rental assistance. Eligible residential tenants may receive a one-time relocation payment. Eligibility and amounts vary depending on the province, whether the property is classified as a risky building, risky area, or reserve building area, and the current official guidelines. Assistance is not automatic. An application is required. Apply within one year of evacuation or

5.Prepare the Required Documents Based on Your Status

Download the current application form and complete checklist from the receiving authority or consult the 2024 Official Rental Assistance Guide. Commonly required documents include: Identification and application form Bank account/IBAN confirmation Official building records Property owners may also need: Title deed Current property registration records Residential tenants generally need: Previous and current address information reports Evidence of residence in the building when its risky-building identification number was issued Evidence of subsequent evacuation Business tenants may additionally need: Tax records Workplace documentation Authorization documents The receiving authority may request supporting documents if the government system cannot retrieve the necessary information automatically. Requirements for photocopies, original signatures, bank documents, and reports may vary by application office. Always obtain and confirm the official document checklist before

6. Istanbul, Check İBB Assistance Separately

İBB rental assistance is a separate program from the Ministry's rental assistance under Law No. 6306. Building eligibility and application conditions may differ. What to do: Review the current İBB rental assistance requirements. Contact the İBB Urban Transformation Desk or the relevant district municipality to confirm which office handles applications. Do not assume that both programs can cover the same expense. Ask both authorities in writing whether receiving assistance from both programs is permitted.

7.Keep Records of the Evacuation and Move

Record the official evacuation date and your new address. Do not delay your application for rental or relocation assistance. Before moving: Take photographs of the property and belongings. Prepare an inventory of furniture and appliances. Arrange for utility meters to be closed or handled as required. Update utility subscriptions and your registered address. Keep the evacuation and property handover records, as these may be needed when applying for assistance. Before requesting a moving quote, prepare: An inventory of the items being transported Both pickup and delivery addresses Floor numbers at both locations Elevator availability Any furniture or appliance disassembly and assembly requirements

Information, Assistance and Office Locations

For information about urban transformation policies, eligibility, and application procedures, call the Ministry's ALO 181 hotline by dialing 181. For the Ministry's provincial directorate contacts and relevant application offices in Istanbul, visit the official website. For in-person consultations in Istanbul, contact the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Urban Transformation Desk. İBB Urban Transformation Desk (Kentsel Dönüşüm Masası) Address: Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Bakırköy Service Building, Osmaniye, Çobançeşme Koşuyolu Boulevard, No. 5, 5th Floor, 34146 Bakırköy, Istanbul, Türkiye Phone: +90 212 449 48 21 Email: kdmasa@ibb.gov.tr Official website: https://ibb.istanbul/tum-hizmetler/bilgi-hizmetleri/kentsel-donusum-masasi/ Call ahead to confirm opening hours and whether an appointment is required.

Rental Assistance and Tenant Relocation Support

Support depends on the building's legal status and the applicant's role. For risky buildings, an owner may qualify for monthly rent assistance while an eligible residential tenant may receive a one-time payment; this is not automatic, and tenant residency is checked. Applications are generally due within one year of evacuation or demolition. In Istanbul, apply for a risky-building rent benefit through the district municipality where the building is located; check e-Devlet first, then ask the municipality for the current counter and checklist if online filing is unavailable. For risky or reserve areas, follow the project notice for the receiving authority.

Moving Plan and Transport Prices During Urban Transformation

If urban transformation requires a temporary move, decide which belongings you will take and list furniture, appliances, boxes, and items needing disassembly separately. Transport costs depend on distance, item size and quantity, floors, elevators, staff, and add-on services. Building costs per square meter are not the same as moving charges. Qmove can help quote furniture, appliance, and small-home moves; large or complex whole-home moves require a separate scope and capacity check.

Convenient for Small Moves Too

I only needed to move some furniture and luggage, so hiring a large moving company didn't make sense. Qmove made it easy to arrange a vehicle that suited my needs. It's a practical option for smaller moves.

During the delivery, the driver was quite friendly and easy to contact. I was also told the estimated arrival time, so I didn’t have to keep waiting without knowing when the driver would come. The item arrived in good condition, and the whole process went smoothly.
