19 Mayıs is described as one of the fast-developing neighbourhoods of the Kadıköy district, known for its large apartment blocks. In blocks with many units and a mixed owner-and-tenant population, the hardest parts of management are often collecting charges and getting owners to meetings. This page explains how the law handles both and how it works in practice.
Two heavy topics in a large block
As the number of flats rises, so does the number of debtors and of owners who do not attend. In Kadıköy a high proportion of tenants makes both problems worse; as our Kadıköy page explains, this is where management difficulty in Kadıköy concentrates.
Charge collection
- The duty to contribute to common expenses lies with the owner, whether or not the owner lives in or uses the flat. (How Are Common Expenses and Charges Shared?)
- The tenant is jointly liable with the owner up to the rent the tenant is obliged to pay; management may claim from either.
- Five per cent monthly late-payment compensation applies to an unpaid share; the manager may start enforcement proceedings, and there is a statutory mortgage right for the claim. (Service Charge Arrears, Late Compensation and Enforcement)
Assembly turnout
Because the quorum looks at both the number of owners and land shares, meetings often fail when owners do not live in the building. A properly made notice, collected proxies and a correct entry in the decision ledger matter for that reason. (The Owners’ Assembly, Meetings and Quorums)
How we set this up
- Records: owner and tenant details are kept separately and kept current.
- Transparency: a monthly income and expense statement goes to every owner, and each owner sees their own balance and the building’s statement on NovaBina. Seeing a debt is one of the most effective things for easing collection.
- Two-channel notice: assembly notices go out both by registered post and by digital notification.
- Documented follow-up: for overdue claims the warning, payment plan and, if needed, the enforcement process are put on record.

Frequently asked questions
Which buildings do you manage in 19 Mayıs?
We manage two properties in 19 Mayıs: Dostlar Apartmanı and Dilek Apartmanı.
Who does the management ask if a tenant does not pay the service charge?
The liability for common expenses lies with the owner by law; the tenant is jointly liable with the owner only up to the rent the tenant is obliged to pay (Condominium Law, Article 22). Management may claim from the owner, the tenant, or both.
Is late-payment compensation charged on unpaid service charges?
Yes. The law provides five per cent monthly late-payment compensation on a share not paid on time, and no separate assembly decision is needed for it. The manager, or any owner, may sue or start enforcement proceedings.
How is a quorum reached when owners do not live in the building?
The quorum looks at both the number of owners and their land shares, so low turnout makes decisions hard. That is why a properly made notice and, where needed, proxies matter. The rules are detailed on the Owners' Assembly page.
How is the management fee set?
The fee depends on the number of units, the building's equipment and the scope of service requested. We visit the property for a free survey and then give you a firm quote.
