If the leased property subsequently becomes defective, the lessee may demand from the lessor that the defects be remedied, or that the rent be reduced in proportion to the defect, or that his loss be compensated.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 305 · a. Genel olarak

Kiralanan sonradan ayıplı duruma gelirse kiracı, kiraya verenden ayıpların giderilmesini veya kira bedelinden ayıpla orantılı bir indirim yapılmasını ya da zararının giderilmesini isteyebilir. Ancak, zararın giderilmesi istemi diğer seçimlik hakların kullanılmasını önlemez.

Önemli ayıp durumunda kiracının sözleşmeyi fesih hakkı saklıdır.
