Why Are Neighborly Relations Important in Turkey?
The concept of neighborhood has an important place in Turkish culture. This element, which forms the social structure, is a lifestyle that affects daily life in different ways and is found in living spaces. In Turkey, which has brought together different cultures from the past to the present and included them in housing, neighborly relations are viewed as the provision of a happy life. As in the philosophy of existence, a person must be together in society. It is one of the social relationship forms that you need to sustain your life, reduce spiritual and physical effects, sometimes meet your material needs, and be in solidarity.
Neighborhood relations always maintain their importance in Turkey, with different cultures coexisting. Especially in mass housing areas, people live next to each other. Sometimes your neighbor can be like your family. The people who form the basis of your entire private and social life are your neighbors. The concept of acting together in the bonds established between societies also brings with it the requirements of living in harmony.
When buying real estate in Turkey, neighbors, especially in mass housing, are equally important. It is your most natural right to want the investment area you choose to have a peaceful, calm and respectful life. Each region has its own neighborhood environment that is different. Some live in modern living residences, some in villa complexes and some in neighborhood life. Respecting your neighbors’ ideas, lifestyles and remaining in compliance with the rules of the residential areas are expected from property owners and tenants.
What are the Situations That Break the Silence in Neighborhood Relations in Turkey?
Everyone wants to live in a quiet and peaceful environment. At the same time, they trust, respect and love the person across from them. Sometimes there may be people in your living space with whom you disagree. The problem of expressing your wishes grows bigger and bigger. If your neighbor is behaving in a way that disturbs the peace of your apartment or site, and especially if there is a loud noise, your environment will be far from being quiet. A noisy neighbor can disturb you and other neighbors in many ways.
Situations mentioned as causes of noise;
- Listening to loud music
- Organizing entertainment or parties with large numbers of guests in the evening outside the hours specified in the apartment rules.
- Operating cleaning materials such as brooms etc.
- Children’s noise
- Talking loudly
If these situations disturb peace and tranquility, people can complain about them using different methods. The statement in Article 18 of the Law on Property Ownership is as follows: ” Flat owners and other people living in the house as tenants etc. are obliged to comply with the rules of honesty, especially not to disturb each other and not to violate each other’s rights while using both independent sections and common areas.”
Apartment residents should be careful not to make noise during the designated hours. Especially noise made during working hours gives the other party the right to complain. According to the Apartment Noise Regulation, it is forbidden to make noise during working days, especially between 13.00-15.00 and 19.00-07.00 and during the entire weekend. These noises are considered as listening to loud music, running the vacuum cleaner at high volume, and using musical instruments in a way that other people can hear.
If there is a problem with all the articles in the Apartment Noise Regulation, you can complain about your neighbor for making noise. You can take a look at the regulation about the reasons for complaints.
Contrary to popular belief, children’s voices are also a reason for complaint. According to Article 18 of the Condominium Law and Article 36 of the Violations Law, children making “unbearable” noise is considered noise. Although it is sometimes thought that children’s voices can be considered natural or that they are a legal situation, this is not true information. If there is a grievance caused by a neighbor’s child, the resident has the right to complain.
Can Noisy Neighbors Be Complained About in Turkey? How?
It may be necessary to prove the noise made in communal living spaces. In these cases, people resort to video and audio recording systems. However, in this case, even if you record it visually from your mobile phones, you cannot use it as evidence. For this reason, you need to have the noise complaint recorded. For this, you need to call the municipal police or the police.
You can use 4 different complaint methods to prevent your neighbor from making noise:

First of all, you should implement these methods in order. Because the lawsuit is the final stage in this regard. First of all, you may want to contact your neighbor. You can empathize with him and express his discomfort through communication. You can gently warn him to reduce his noise. If this method turns into a way of fighting and arguing, you may need to review other methods.
When the lawsuit method is used, the decibel rate of the noise can be examined by experts. If the decibel level published in the Official Gazette is exceeded, it means that your neighbor is making noise.
According to the information provided by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, it is determined whether people make noise or not.
