In Başakşehir and Fatih house rents are estimated between 7,000 to 10,000 Turkish liras. In residential complexes, prices reach up to 15,000.
A Palestinian refugee called Samir told AGPS that last year he paid 22,000 for a house he rented in Esnler. Five days before the end of the contract, the house owner asked for 6,000.
Several refugee families have abandoned their rented houses after they failed to pay the required sums.
