Common Rental Disputes in Turkey and How to Resolve Them Legally

Rental relationships are among the most common sources of civil disputes in Turkey. Rapid changes in rental values, disagreements over annual increases, delayed payments, security deposits, maintenance expenses and eviction requests may cause serious conflict between landlords and tenants.

The applicable legal rules are mainly contained in the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098. Residential properties and roofed commercial premises are subject to special statutory protections concerning rent increases, deposits, renewal, termination and eviction. The fact that a provision appears in a signed rental agreement does not necessarily mean that it is legally enforceable. Mandatory provisions of Turkish rental law may override clauses that improperly restrict the tenant’s statutory rights or give the landlord an unrestricted termination power.

At the same time, tenants must comply with important contractual obligations. They must pay rent when due, use the property carefully, notify the landlord of relevant defects, permit necessary repairs and return the property properly when the rental relationship ends.

Rental disputes also have an important procedural dimension. Since 1 September 2023, applying to mediation before filing a lawsuit has generally become a mandatory procedural requirement for disputes arising from rental relationships. The principal exception concerns specific non-judicial eviction proceedings conducted under the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law.

This comprehensive guide examines the most common rental disputes in Turkey and explains how landlords and tenants may resolve them legally.

Legal Framework Governing Rental Disputes in Turkey

A rental agreement creates reciprocal obligations.

The landlord must deliver the property in a condition suitable for the agreed use and keep it suitable throughout the rental relationship. The tenant must pay rent, use the property carefully and return it at the end of the agreement.

For residential and roofed workplace leases, Turkish law provides additional protection because housing and commercial occupation are considered continuing legal relationships in which sudden termination may create substantial hardship.

The most important legal sources include:

• The Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098;
• The Code of Civil Procedure No. 6100;
• The Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law No. 2004;
• The Mediation Law No. 6325;
• The Condominium Ownership Law No. 634; and
• Relevant Court of Cassation decisions.

Civil Courts of Peace, known as Sulh Hukuk Mahkemeleri, generally have subject-matter jurisdiction over disputes arising from rental relationships, regardless of the monetary value of the claim. Special non-judicial eviction procedures before enforcement offices and enforcement courts remain subject to separate rules.

Rent Increase Disputes

Disagreement over annual rent increases is one of the most frequent rental disputes in Turkey.

A landlord may believe that the current rent is substantially below the market, while the tenant may argue that the requested increase exceeds the statutory limit.

For residential and roofed workplace leases, Article 344 of the Turkish Code of Obligations regulates the rent applicable during renewed rental periods.

An agreement concerning an annual increase is valid only to the extent that it does not exceed the change in the Consumer Price Index calculated according to the 12-month averages. The parties may agree on a lower increase, but an ordinary contractual clause cannot validly impose a higher annual increase for the renewed period.

A landlord should therefore not calculate an increase solely according to:

• The current advertised market rent;
• The landlord’s personal financial needs;
• The increase in the property’s sale value;
• A foreign currency;
• A minimum percentage exceeding the statutory ceiling; or
• The rent paid by another tenant in the building.

The tenant should continue paying the undisputed rent on time. Refusing to pay all rent merely because the increase is disputed may result in default and eviction proceedings.

Rent Determination After Five Years

Once five rental years have been completed, either party may request judicial determination of the rent.

At this stage, the court may consider:

• The Consumer Price Index;
• The condition and characteristics of the property;
• Comparable rental values; and
• Principles of equity.

The court does not automatically adopt the highest advertised rental amount. A proper assessment may require an on-site inspection, expert report and examination of genuinely comparable properties.

A rent determination lawsuit must generally be preceded by mandatory mediation. The timing of a written notice, mediation application and lawsuit may affect the rental period from which the determined amount will apply.

Unpaid Rent and Late Payment Disputes

The tenant’s principal financial obligation is to pay rent at the agreed time.

Where rent remains unpaid, the landlord may use several legal remedies, including a written default notice, an ordinary rent claim or non-judicial enforcement proceedings seeking payment and eviction.

For residential and roofed workplace leases, the landlord may send a written notice granting the tenant at least 30 days to pay the legally due debt. The period begins on the day following service of the notice. If full payment is not made within the period, the landlord may obtain the right to terminate and seek eviction.

The notice should clearly identify:

• The unpaid rental months;
• The amount due for each month;
• The total debt;
• The payment account;
• The minimum 30-day period; and
• The consequence of termination and eviction.

A demand based on an unlawful rent increase may not support eviction. The amount demanded must be legally due, correctly calculated and sufficiently clear.

Non-Judicial Enforcement Proceedings

The landlord may initiate non-judicial enforcement proceedings under Articles 269 and following of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law.

The payment order generally gives the tenant seven days to object. For residential and roofed workplace rent, the tenant is ordinarily provided 30 days to pay the due debt.

The seven-day objection period and the 30-day payment period serve different purposes. The tenant should not wait until the end of the payment period before raising an objection.

Where the tenant neither objects nor pays, the landlord may request eviction through the enforcement court within the applicable statutory period. Where the tenant objects, the landlord must use the appropriate procedure to remove or annul the objection.

Prior mediation is not required before commencing this specific non-judicial eviction route. However, an ordinary court action for unpaid rent or termination generally remains subject to mandatory mediation.

Eviction Disputes

A landlord cannot evict a tenant simply because the landlord owns the property.

Residential and roofed workplace leases may generally be terminated by the landlord only on the basis of a statutory ground or after completion of the special ten-year extension procedure.

Common eviction grounds include:

• Non-payment of rent;
• A valid written eviction undertaking;
• Two justified written notices;
• Genuine housing or workplace need;
• The need of a new owner;
• Reconstruction or substantial renovation;
• Serious misuse of the property;
• Unauthorised subletting;
• The tenant’s ownership of another suitable residence; and
• Completion of the ten-year extension period.

Each ground has separate requirements and procedural periods. A landlord should not combine several legal grounds without determining whether the factual and procedural conditions of each one exist.

Self-Help Eviction Is Unlawful

The landlord should not attempt to obtain possession by:

• Changing the locks;
• Removing the tenant’s belongings;
• Disconnecting water, electricity or natural gas;
• Entering the property without permission;
• Blocking access; or
• Threatening the tenant.

Even where rent is unpaid or a valid termination notice has been served, possession must be recovered through voluntary handover, a binding settlement or lawful enforcement of an eviction decision.

Unlawful self-help may lead to civil compensation and, depending on the conduct involved, criminal complaints.

Eviction Based on Housing or Workplace Need

A landlord may request eviction where the property is genuinely required as a residence or workplace for:

• The landlord;
• The landlord’s spouse;
• Descendants;
• Ascendants; or
• Another person whom the landlord is legally required to support.

The need must be genuine, sincere, compulsory and continuing. A simple desire to receive a higher rent is not sufficient.

The court may examine the landlord’s current residence, other properties, family circumstances, workplace situation and the suitability of the rented property.

Where the property was purchased while occupied by a tenant, the new owner may use the special procedure under Article 351. The purchaser must generally notify the tenant in writing within one month of acquisition and may file an eviction action after six months. Alternatively, the new owner may use the procedure based on the end of the existing contractual rental period.

A new owner cannot demand that the tenant leave immediately merely because the title deed has changed.

Re-Letting After Need-Based Eviction

A landlord who obtains possession based on housing or workplace need cannot ordinarily rent the property to another person for three years without a justified reason.

The same principle applies in certain reconstruction-based cases.

If the landlord violates the statutory re-letting prohibition, the former tenant may claim compensation. The compensation cannot be less than one year’s rent calculated according to the amount paid during the final rental year.

A former tenant who suspects a fictitious need claim should preserve:

• The eviction judgment;
• The mediation documents;
• The handover report;
• New rental advertisements;
• Evidence of the new occupant;
• Building-management records; and
• Witness statements.

Eviction Undertaking Disputes

An eviction undertaking is a written declaration in which the tenant promises to vacate the property on a specified date.

For the special eviction remedy to apply, the undertaking must generally:

• Be in writing;
• Be given after the property has been delivered;
• Contain a clear evacuation date;
• Be signed by the tenant or an authorised representative; and
• Be enforced within the statutory period.

If the tenant does not leave on the promised date, the landlord must initiate enforcement proceedings or file the relevant action within one month.

Disputes frequently arise over:

• Whether the document was signed before delivery;
• Whether the date was added later;
• Whether the signature is genuine;
• Whether all tenants signed;
• Whether the signatory had company authority; and
• Whether the landlord missed the one-month period.

A tenant should not sign a blank, undated or incomplete undertaking.

Eviction Due to Two Justified Notices

A tenant who repeatedly pays late may face eviction even if each debt is later paid.

Where the tenant causes two justified written notices because of non-payment within the same legally relevant rental year, the landlord may file an eviction lawsuit after that rental year ends.

The notices must relate to separate defaults. A landlord cannot divide one unpaid debt into two notices merely to create an eviction ground.

The lawsuit must be brought within the statutory period after the relevant rental year, and mandatory mediation must generally be completed beforehand.

This procedure differs from immediate eviction for default.

Immediate default eviction concerns a debt that was not paid within the 30-day cure period.

Two-justified-notice eviction concerns repeated late payments that forced the landlord to issue formal demands on two separate occasions.

Security Deposit Disputes

Security deposits are a major source of disagreement at the end of a tenancy.

For residential and roofed workplace leases, a security deposit cannot exceed three months’ rent.

Where the security consists of money, the tenant should deposit it into a restricted bank account that cannot be withdrawn without the landlord’s consent. The bank may release the security with both parties’ consent, following a finalised enforcement proceeding or on the basis of a final court judgment.

If the landlord does not notify the bank within three months after the rental relationship ends that a lawsuit or enforcement proceeding has been initiated concerning a rental claim, the bank must release the security upon the tenant’s request.

In practice, deposits are frequently paid directly to landlords. The tenant should preserve the transfer receipt, written lease and any acknowledgement identifying the payment as a refundable security deposit.

Lawful Deposit Deductions

The landlord may deduct legally valid and provable claims, including:

• Unpaid rent;
• Permitted ancillary expenses;
• Damage caused by misuse;
• Missing furniture or equipment;
• Unreturned keys; and
• Other rental debts.

The landlord should not deduct:

• Ordinary wear and tear;
• Routine repainting after normal use;
• Structural repairs belonging to the landlord;
• Renovations intended to improve the property for the next tenant; or
• Unsupported estimates.

A landlord claiming damage should provide photographs, invoices, initial and final delivery reports and a reasonable calculation considering the age and previous condition of the item.

Maintenance and Repair Disputes

The landlord must deliver the property in a condition suitable for its agreed use and maintain that suitability throughout the rental relationship.

The tenant is generally responsible for ordinary cleaning and maintenance arising from normal use.

The distinction between major repair and routine maintenance depends on the cause and nature of the problem.

The landlord will generally be responsible for:

• Serious structural defects;
• Roof and foundation problems;
• Major plumbing and electrical failures;
• Essential systems failing because of age;
• Pre-existing defects; and
• Problems preventing the agreed use.

The tenant may be responsible for:

• Ordinary cleaning;
• Routine consumable items;
• Minor user maintenance;
• Damage caused by negligence;
• Improper use of equipment; and
• Additional damage caused by failing to report a problem promptly.

The tenant must notify the landlord without delay of defects that are not the tenant’s responsibility. A tenant who remains silent while a minor leak develops into serious damage may become liable for the additional loss caused by the delay.

Tenant Remedies for Defective Property

Where the property is defective, the tenant may request:

• Repair of the defect;
• A proportional reduction in rent;
• Compensation for resulting losses;
• Reimbursement of necessary repair costs; or
• Termination in serious cases.

The tenant should first notify the landlord in writing and grant an appropriate repair period unless emergency circumstances justify immediate action.

If the landlord fails to act, the tenant may, under the statutory conditions, arrange the repair at the landlord’s expense and deduct the claim from rent.

This right should be exercised cautiously. An unsupported unilateral deduction may result in a claim for unpaid rent and eviction.

The tenant should preserve:

• Written notifications;
• Photographs;
• Technical reports;
• Repair quotations;
• Invoices;
• Payment records; and
• Evidence showing that the landlord failed to act.

Common Expense and Building Management Disputes

Apartment and site-management expenses may contain both usage-related and ownership-related items.

Ordinary usage expenses may include:

• Cleaning;
• Security;
• Water consumption;
• Heating;
• Lighting;
• Daily management services; and
• Routine maintenance.

Ownership-related expenses may include:

• Roof replacement;
• Structural strengthening;
• Exterior renovation;
• Major elevator replacement;
• Main infrastructure renewal; and
• Capital improvements.

The fact that the building management may request payment from the tenant does not necessarily determine the final allocation between tenant and landlord.

The rental agreement, Condominium Ownership Law and nature of the expense must be examined together.

The tenant should request invoices, management decisions and supporting calculations. A broad statement that “all building expenses belong to the tenant” may not validly transfer every structural or ownership cost.

Early Termination Disputes

A tenant may need to leave before the contractual period or applicable notice period has ended.

Article 325 of the Turkish Code of Obligations provides that the tenant’s obligations continue for the reasonable period in which the property could be rented to another person under similar conditions.

The tenant is not automatically liable for every remaining rental instalment until the written contractual expiry date.

The tenant may end liability earlier by proposing a replacement tenant who:

• Is ready to take over the rental relationship;
• Has sufficient financial capacity;
• Is reasonably acceptable to the landlord; and
• Will rent under similar conditions.

The landlord must also deduct saved expenses and benefits obtained, or intentionally avoided, from the claim.

A landlord who rejects every suitable candidate and leaves the property vacant without a reasonable reason may have difficulty claiming an extended vacancy period from the former tenant.

Sale of the Rented Property

The sale of rented property does not ordinarily terminate the lease.

The purchaser generally becomes the new landlord and assumes the existing rental relationship. The tenant does not normally have to sign a new agreement merely because ownership has changed.

The existing:

• Rental commencement date;
• Contractual renewal date;
• Rent;
• Increase mechanism;
• Security deposit; and
• Tenant protections

generally continue.

After receiving reliable evidence of the ownership transfer, the tenant should pay rent to the new owner or the properly authorised recipient.

The new owner cannot impose a new rent merely because the property was purchased at a high price. The ordinary annual increase and rent-determination rules continue to apply.

Subletting and Transfer Disputes

For residential and roofed workplace leases, the tenant cannot ordinarily sublet the property or transfer its use without the landlord’s written consent.

Unauthorised use by another person may create a contractual breach and, depending on the circumstances, an eviction risk.

Commercial tenants should pay particular attention to:

• Use by group companies;
• Franchise arrangements;
• Shared offices;
• Business transfers;
• Asset sales;
• Corporate restructurings; and
• Change-of-control clauses.

Transfer of a workplace lease also generally requires the landlord’s written consent. However, the landlord may not refuse consent without a justified reason in a workplace lease.

A justified reason may concern the proposed tenant’s financial condition, business activity, licensing position or incompatibility with the property.

Property Return and Ordinary Wear

When the rental relationship ends, the tenant must return the property in the condition in which it was received, except for deterioration resulting from ordinary and contract-compliant use.

The tenant is not responsible for normal ageing and wear.

Examples of ordinary wear may include:

• Faded paint after a long tenancy;
• Minor marks arising from everyday use;
• Normal ageing of flooring;
• Ordinary deterioration of appliances;
• Wear of doors and cabinets; and
• Reasonable discolouration.

Examples of tenant-caused damage may include:

• Broken fixtures;
• Burned flooring;
• Missing appliances;
• Serious wall damage;
• Unauthorised structural alterations; and
• Damage resulting from negligence.

The landlord must inspect the property when it is returned and immediately notify the tenant in writing of visible defects for which the tenant is considered responsible. Failure to provide prompt notice may affect claims concerning defects that could have been discovered during an ordinary inspection.

Importance of Key Delivery

A tenant’s obligations may not end merely because personal belongings have been removed.

The tenant should return all:

• Keys;
• Access cards;
• Parking remotes;
• Alarm codes; and
• Other devices giving access to the property.

The parties should sign a handover report identifying:

• The exact delivery date;
• Keys returned;
• Meter readings;
• Property condition;
• Outstanding rent;
• Common expenses;
• Deposit deductions; and
• Any continuing claims.

If the landlord refuses to accept the keys, the tenant should use a formal delivery method rather than leaving them inside the property or with an unauthorised third person.

Disputes Involving Foreign Landlords and Tenants

Foreign nationals and foreign-owned companies are generally subject to the same core Turkish rental rules where property in Turkey is rented.

However, additional disputes may arise concerning:

• The language of the agreement;
• The authority of company representatives;
• Foreign currency clauses;
• Service addresses;
• Tax treatment;
• Powers of attorney;
• Residency status; and
• Interpretation of legal notices.

A bilingual lease should identify which language will prevail if the texts differ.

Foreign tenants should not ignore Turkish notarial notices, mediation invitations, enforcement payment orders or court documents. Procedural periods may expire even where the recipient does not fully understand the document.

Foreign landlords should ensure that ownership records, powers of attorney and service information are accurate before commencing legal proceedings.

Mandatory Mediation in Rental Disputes

Since 1 September 2023, most disputes arising from rental relationships require mediation before litigation.

The requirement covers:

• Eviction lawsuits;
• Rent determination;
• Rent adaptation;
• Unpaid rent claims;
• Deposit refunds;
• Repair and maintenance claims;
• Compensation;
• Early termination disputes;
• Common expense disputes; and
• Property-return claims.

The principal exception concerns the specific non-judicial eviction proceedings regulated by the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law.

Mandatory mediation means that the parties must complete the process before filing a covered lawsuit. It does not mean that they must reach an agreement.

If no settlement is reached, the mediator issues a final non-settlement report. The claimant may then file the lawsuit.

If a covered lawsuit is filed without any prior mediation application, the court may dismiss it procedurally without examining whether the claimant is substantively right.

Advantages of Rental Mediation

Mediation allows landlords and tenants to create practical solutions that a court judgment may not provide.

The parties may agree on:

• A gradual rent increase;
• Payment of rent arrears in instalments;
• An exact evacuation date;
• Return of the deposit;
• Repair responsibilities;
• Temporary rent reduction;
• Key delivery;
• Moving time;
• Waiver of interest; and
• Mutual release of claims.

A settlement should use exact dates and specific amounts.

Statements such as “the tenant will leave as soon as possible” or “the landlord will repair the property later” may be difficult to enforce.

For settlement documents falling within the special rules concerning immovable-property disputes, the required enforceability annotation should be obtained from the competent Civil Court of Peace.

Litigation Before the Civil Court of Peace

Where mediation does not produce a settlement, the dispute is generally brought before the Civil Court of Peace.

The claimant should submit:

• The rental agreement;
• The mediation final report;
• Payment records;
• Notices and service documents;
• Title deed records;
• Photographs;
• Delivery reports;
• Expert reports;
• Building-management records; and
• Relevant correspondence.

Rental litigation is often decided not only by the legal rule but also by the quality and chronology of the evidence.

A landlord who has no payment ledger, inspection report or proof of service may struggle to establish a claim.

A tenant who pays cash without receipts or fails to record property defects may face similar evidentiary problems.

Importance of Written Notices

Many rental rights depend on a written declaration reaching the other party within a particular period.

Examples include:

• Default notices;
• Termination notices;
• New owner need notices;
• Notice of defects;
• Ordinary termination;
• Article 347 termination after ten extension years; and
• Requests for deposit return.

A notarial notice is not mandatory in every situation, but it usually provides strong evidence of content and service.

The notice should identify the agreement, property, legal issue, requested action and relevant deadline clearly.

A notice that is vague, incorrectly calculated or served on the wrong person may fail to produce the intended legal effect.

Common Mistakes Made by Landlords

Landlords frequently make the following mistakes:

• Requesting an unlawful rent increase;
• Failing to calculate the renewal date correctly;
• Demanding less than the statutory payment period;
• Serving a notice on only one of several tenants;
• Treating ordinary wear as damage;
• Retaining the entire deposit without evidence;
• Rejecting suitable replacement tenants;
• Ignoring maintenance obligations;
• Attempting self-help eviction;
• Missing statutory lawsuit periods; and
• Filing a lawsuit without mandatory mediation.

The landlord should identify the correct legal ground before sending a notice or starting enforcement.

Common Mistakes Made by Tenants

Tenants frequently make the following mistakes:

• Paying rent in cash without receipts;
• Stopping all rent because an increase is disputed;
• Treating the deposit as the last month’s rent;
• Ignoring enforcement documents;
• Failing to object within seven days;
• Signing a blank eviction undertaking;
• Subletting without written consent;
• Making structural alterations without approval;
• Failing to notify the landlord of defects;
• Leaving without proof of key delivery; and
• Refusing to attend mandatory mediation.

A tenant should continue paying the undisputed rent and preserve every document concerning the tenancy.

Practical Steps to Prevent Rental Disputes

The most effective method of resolving a rental dispute is often preventing it through proper documentation.

The rental agreement should clearly state:

• The identities of the parties;
• The property;
• The commencement and renewal dates;
• The rent;
• The payment date;
• The increase mechanism;
• The deposit;
• The permitted use;
• Repair responsibilities;
• Common expenses;
• Subletting conditions;
• Termination procedures; and
• The notice addresses.

At delivery, the parties should prepare a detailed condition report with photographs.

Rent should be paid through a bank with a description identifying the rental month.

Every defect, payment dispute or termination request should be communicated in writing.

At the end of the rental relationship, the parties should conduct a joint inspection and sign a final handover report.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common rental disputes in Turkey?

The most common disputes concern rent increases, unpaid rent, eviction, deposits, repairs, common expenses, early termination, property sales and unauthorised subletting.

Can a landlord increase rent freely?

No. Annual increases for residential and roofed workplace leases are subject to the statutory Consumer Price Index limitation. Market-based determination may generally be requested after five years.

How long does a tenant have to pay after a default notice?

For residential and roofed workplace leases, the tenant must generally receive at least 30 days.

Can a landlord evict a tenant personally?

No. Locks cannot lawfully be changed and belongings cannot be removed without a lawful possession-recovery process.

Is the deposit automatically forfeited?

No. The landlord may deduct only legitimate and provable debts or damage.

Who pays major repair costs?

The landlord generally bears responsibility for maintaining the property’s essential suitability. The tenant generally pays ordinary cleaning and user-maintenance expenses.

Can the tenant leave before the agreement ends?

Yes, but liability may continue for the reasonable period required to rent the property again. A suitable replacement tenant may end liability earlier.

Does sale of the property end the lease?

No. The purchaser generally becomes the new landlord under the continuing rental agreement.

Can a tenant sublet without permission?

Not ordinarily in residential and roofed workplace leases. Written landlord consent is generally required.

Is mediation compulsory?

Yes. Most rental lawsuits require mandatory mediation before litigation.

Is mediation required before non-judicial rent enforcement?

Not before using the specific non-judicial eviction procedure under the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law.

Which court handles rental disputes?

The Civil Court of Peace generally has subject-matter jurisdiction.

Can a tenant withhold all rent because of a defect?

Not automatically. The tenant should notify the landlord and use the statutory repair, reduction, compensation or termination remedies.

Can the landlord keep the deposit for repainting?

Not where repainting is required only because of ordinary ageing and contract-compliant use.

What is the best evidence in a rental dispute?

The written agreement, bank records, notarial notices, service certificates, delivery reports, photographs, invoices and mediation documents are particularly important.

Conclusion

Common rental disputes in Turkey arise from both financial disagreement and poor documentation.

Landlords and tenants frequently disagree over rent increases, unpaid rent, security deposits, repairs, common expenses, early termination and eviction. Each dispute is governed by different legal requirements, notices and filing periods.

A landlord cannot obtain eviction merely because market rent has increased or ownership has changed. A statutory ground and lawful procedure are generally required.

A tenant cannot stop paying rent merely because part of the landlord’s demand is disputed. The undisputed rent should continue to be paid on time.

Security deposits are not automatic income for landlords. Deductions must be based on provable debts or damage exceeding ordinary wear.

Maintenance responsibility depends on the cause and nature of the problem. The landlord must maintain the property’s essential suitability, while the tenant must perform ordinary maintenance and use the property carefully.

A tenant leaving early may remain liable for a reasonable re-letting period but may reduce or end liability by proposing a suitable replacement tenant.

Most rental lawsuits require mandatory mediation before litigation. Where settlement is impossible, the Civil Court of Peace generally hears the dispute.

The strongest protection for both parties is a detailed written agreement supported by bank payments, condition reports, written notices and proper key-delivery records.

Because an incorrect notice, missed period or undocumented payment may determine the outcome of the entire case, landlords and tenants should obtain individual legal advice before commencing enforcement, signing a settlement or filing a lawsuit.
