The rent problem continues to grow in Alanya

OK, we have a local election ahead of us, this is our most important agenda, but on the other hand, life continues with its bitterness and sweetness...

For example, the rent problem that I have expressed and shouted about many times in this column...

It continues to grow exponentially in Alanya...

Yesterday, a post on social media caught my attention...

Or rather, a cry...

I couldn't ignore it and wanted to share it with you...

A woman named Ayşe Sönmez is from Alanya and lives in Alanya...

She says...

"I definitely do not plan to vote in this election, because no one deserves my vote...

Especially the people of Alanya, I say this as a native of Alanya...

I've been looking for a house for 4 months but I can't find it, or rather I find it but I can't rent a house without putting at least 42 thousand liras in my pocket...

I don't even include moving costs in this figure...

You find a house, a rental fee is a commission, a rental fee is a deposit, a rental fee is in advance...

Let's say you found a house for 14 thousand liras, you cannot get the key to this house without putting at least 42 thousand liras in your pocket...

14 thousand liras should not be a commission, what did you do, brother, did you throw stones and your arm got tired...

It should be at least half, but no one speaks out for some reason...

This includes 15 thousand liras for moving, 15 thousand liras for electricity, water, carpets and curtains, and you cannot move into a house without putting 60 thousand liras in your pocket...

Think of someone working for minimum wage, think of the children this man educates...

What should this man do, steal or commit dishonesty? Especially what should women like me, who are struggling to survive alone, do?

My real estate friends may be angry with me, but let them be angry, it doesn't matter.

Brother, you do not have the right to receive 30 thousand lira commission from the house you rented for 30 thousand lira...

There is right, there is law...

I don't have the means to pay either a commission or a deposit, brother. What should I do now? Should I stay on the street...

I have been living in my current house for 8 years, I have never had any problems with my landlord, he is a person I respect so much, may God bless him...

I hope I will come across a host like him again...

He will use the house I live in as an office for his daughter, but I cannot find a house, he has been managing me for 4 months...

Whatever he says is right, but I can't afford to rent a house because of the profit that goes around...

There is right, there is God, don't do it, let me love you, just get your rights...

You, my real estate agent brother, receive 15 thousand liras of commission from the homeowner...

The money goes into his pocket and comes out of me, isn't this nonsense, guys...

Don't ask what this has to do with voting, it has a lot to do with it...

No one is addressing this issue...

I called the Oba Neighborhood Headman and asked him, I called the Çıplaklı Neighborhood Headman and asked him, but they were all blind and deaf...

Now I too will be blind and deaf...

Unfortunately, even the land cannot satisfy our Alanya residents"...

Yes, this is the final point reached in Alanya...

I guess there is no need to say more...

Point...
