I will add my thanks to the others. This is the best and most concise summary I have seen. Really helpful!

I dont pretend to be the expert and I am still learning as I go along......but having our comittee has made people (including Turkish owners) pay up....as once your a legal recognised committee , any owner on the same complex dosnt stand a chance of not paying and the court WILL always find in the complexes favour.... thanks to the Condiminium Act in turkey...

liz101.....thank you for that....but I would rather pay for a few lines  and get it stamped every year   s

You can probaby see from my posts that the reason I set up, and got going our committee was because of non payers (that were  renting out their aparments all summer and not paying the yearly fee)it really cheesed me off that they rented ALL summer and didnt pay a penny to the communial fees, the pool fill, the daily gardner....but were pocketing big cash  from renters.......so enough was enough and after being a recognised committee...... they have all paid up.   happy days...

Hi Karen

Did they pay up everything they hadn't paid previously, or they started paying up for now and future?

Not wishing to butt in but just thought I would add that our Committee (with Liz 101 as our trusty font of all knowledge) took the non-payers to Court, indeed one resident has now been taken a number of times, and we WON.  And yes Keith, we got the back pay as well!  Ours has been a long, long journey and when I remember the early days, I never thought we would be in this position.

Not only did we win Lynne, but got all the court costs too   It was a bit disappointing last year, as our fully paid up member of the awkward squad paid up as soon as we sent him a 30 day warning letter, sent by mutlu post (the Turkish equivalent of recorded delivery) of course!!

 Hi Scunner,we had it all luckily.
Lynn, Would you mind telling me how long from sending a letter it took to get to court. Did you use a solicitor and what were the court costs. We have in our resolutions that all court costs will be met by the non payer if the matter gets to court.
Would be interested to know  for future.many thanks in advance.
