If the usual yield of an agricultural immovable property decreases significantly owing to extraordinary disasters or natural events, the lessee may request that a proportionate amount be deducted from the rent.

A waiver of this right in advance shall be valid only if the possibility of the occurrence of such circumstances was taken into account in the determination of the rent or if the resulting damage is covered by insurance.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 363 · 2. Olağanüstü durumlarda kira bedelinden indirim

Tarımsal bir taşınmazın her zamanki verimi, olağanüstü felaket veya doğal olaylar yüzünden önemli ölçüde azalırsa kiracı, kira bedelinden orantılı bir miktarın indirilmesini isteyebilir.

Bu haktan başlangıçta feragat, ancak kira bedelinin belirlenmesi sırasında bu gibi durumların meydana gelmesi olasılığı göz önünde tutulmuş veya doğan zarar bir sigorta ile karşılanmış ise, geçerli olur.
