The end of an assignment carries just as many administrative responsibilities as the beginning. Leases must be formally closed, utilities disconnected, registrations cancelled, and deposits recovered — all within specific timeframes and in compliance with Turkish legal requirements. We manage the entire departure process on behalf of the employee, ensuring that every obligation is fulfilled correctly and that they leave Turkey with nothing outstanding.
Lease & Administrative Closure
Lease Termination Management: We issue the formal lease termination notice to the landlord within the contractually required notice period, ensuring the employee is not exposed to unnecessary rental liability. We coordinate and attend the move-out property inspection alongside both the employee and the landlord, documenting the condition of the property against the original condition report prepared at move-in. Where any deductions from the security deposit are proposed, we review the basis for these claims and negotiate on the employee's behalf to recover the maximum possible amount within a reasonable timeframe.
Service Disconnection: We contact each utility provider — electricity, natural gas, water — to arrange formal disconnection and the closure of the account in the employee's name. We coordinate the scheduling of any final meter readings and ensure that closing invoices are settled correctly. Where the employee holds any local insurance policies, we arrange for these to be cancelled and any applicable refunds to be processed.
Final Administrative Formalities: We manage the official deregistration of the employee at the Residents' Registration Office, formally closing their residency record with the Turkish authorities. Where children are enrolled in local schools, we coordinate their deregistration and obtain the necessary documentation to support re-enrolment in their next country of residence. Bank account closure and vehicle deregistration are handled in the same structured way, with the employee guided through each step.
Logistics & Practical Support: We arrange professional end-of-tenancy cleaning to the standard required by the lease agreement. Where the property requires any repairs or minor renovation before handover, we obtain quotations from trusted local providers and manage the work on the employee's behalf. We also set up mail forwarding arrangements to ensure that any post arriving after departure is redirected to the employee's next address without disruption.
