Completely agree Lyndie, I have been learning Turkish for 3 years and the hardest part has been my lack of understanding of English Grammar.I am determined to master Turkish. There is no easy way to learn a new language especially when you get older, it requires a lot of hard work and determination. I'm just sad that I didn,t learn more languages when I was at school and had a young and receptive brain. Many of the expats out here make fun of the fact that I am still attending lessons 3 years on but I reckon that even if in the end I only pick up 80% of the Language thats better than those that don't try. Why do so many Brits still think that it is acceptable in this day and age just to expect everyone to speak English. I've really enjoyed all of the lessons and will carry on with them for as long as it takes. MAYBE FLUENT AT 90 THEN

Thanks for all your help.
I have now managed to find the information I needed.
So hopefully can now move forward and resolve the situation

Could anyone in the group please help me with some information .
I'm trying to find out if there is any law in this country ( Turkey ) govening the amount of rent increase that a landlord can make. Do they have carte blanche to charge what they want ? My landlord has just informed me that he is planning on putting my rent up by 49% when my contract expires at the begining of October. He also wants 2 years in advance. I was expecting the rent to rise but I thought it would be inline with inflation. The most that I seem to be able to find out about this matter is that is covered by Real estate Law 6579. Where can you get a copy of the law or where can I go to see the paper work.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give
