2026 Condominium Law Amendment: Manager Will Not Be Able to Increase Fees as He Wishes!

Fee and Business Project Guide for Site Administrators

The amendment to the Condominium Act, which will be brought up in 2026, will be an important milestone for site and apartment managers. In particular, the authority to determine dues and the process of drawing up an enterprise project are completely changing.

In this article, we explain the new regulation in plain terms and explain with examples what it means for managers.

How was the old system?

Previously, the process was quite simple:

• The manager prepares the business project
• Notifies floor owners
• If there were no objections within 7 days, the project would have been finalized

That is, in practice, the fees were largely determined by the administrator.

What does the new system bring?

The most critical change with the new regulation is: The authority to set dues is

taken from the manager and given to the board of floor owners.

Now:

• The business project has to be approved at the general meeting
• Manager cannot set exact fees on his own
• Arbitrary or exorbitant increases are prevented

What will the manager be able to do?

In the new system, the role of the administrator does not completely end, but is limited.

Admin:

• Can prepare temporary business project

But this project:

• Valid for a maximum of 3 months
• Can not exceed the revaluation rate

And most importantly:

• This project must be submitted for approval at the general assembly within 3 months at the latest

A Simple Example

Let's say:
Current fee: 1.000 TL
Revaluation rate: 25%

Old System	New System
The administrator could set a fee directly: 1.500 TL	Admin can set up a temporary fee of up to 1,250 TL

But even this is not certain;

• It loses its validity if the general assembly does not approve within 3 months

Critical Point: The General Assembly Strengthens The essence of the

new regulation is that the decision is no longer given by the administrator, but by the owners of the floors. This leads to the following consequences:

• Allowance increases will be more transparent
• Floor owners will participate more actively in the process
• The administrator will move to the role of “executor”

Risks for Managers

This change brings some new responsibilities:

1. You can not make an arbitrary increase

Now the period of “I saw fit” ends

2. You cannot proceed without a general assembly 3. The meeting is mandatory in

3 months 3. The complaint and audit mechanism comes Now there is not only a court, but also an administrative audit

Where Does Site Administration Go?

The new regulation changes not only the dues, but the whole system:

• More inspections
• Greater transparency
• Obligation of professional management

Even according to some comments: “The era of amateur management is closing”

What Should Managers Do?

To be ready for the new period:
1. Prepare the business project realistically: Calculate expenses correctly
2. Do not delay the general meeting: 3 months critical period
3. Increase communication: Tell and announce the fee increase in advance 4. Proceed documented and transparent: Announce each item together with the 2026 regulation:

• The manager is no longer the decision maker alone
• Active decision mechanism of floor owners
• Contribution increases are controlled and limited

In a nutshell:

• The “dues-setting manager” model is ending,
• The “administrator who receives approval” model begins.
