The rental period of the dining room in schools will be a maximum of 5 years.

The Regulation that modifies the Regulation of the Association of Schools and Parents of the Ministry of National Education came into force after its publication in the Official Gazette. According to the new regulations, the duration of the lease contract in school cafeterias will be a maximum of 5 years.

According to the new regulations issued by the Ministry of National Education, the duration of the rental contract for the rental of dining rooms will be a maximum of 5 years. In rental contracts with a duration of more than 1 year, the rental fee for the first year will be determined as the tender price. Rental prices in the second and subsequent years will increase in proportion to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK).

However, if there is a significant difference regarding the determination of the rental price (a decrease or increase of at least 25 percent in the student population, restrictive regulations that can significantly affect the tenant’s turnover), it is determined again the estimated price and a new contract is established. The contract is made to the current tenant with the same procedure, limited to the remaining period of the contract.

YOU CAN RENT AGAIN FROM THE SAME OPERATOR

If the current canteen operators, whose contract period has expired and have fulfilled their contractual obligations, request it and the parent and school associations consider this request appropriate, the canteens can be rented again to the same operator through negotiation.

In these leases, the contract period cannot exceed 5 years and the total contract period cannot exceed 20 years from the date of the first contract. The school management will send a copy of the lease agreements to be drawn up between the union and the tenant to the relevant national real estate unit where the school is located. The places for which exploitation rights are granted may not be used for purposes other than rental.

CHANGES RELATED TO RENTAL CONTRACTS

On the other hand, those who have a business opening certificate in accordance with the Professional Education Law No. 3308 have the same priority in school canteen rental tenders as participants who have a certificate of proficiency in the field of management of dining rooms. The places to be rented may be rented through a contract drawn up in accordance with the ‘Agreement for the Rental of Dining Rooms and Similar Places in Schools’.

Consequently, the site cannot be delivered until the parties sign the lease agreement. The school management will be obliged to deliver the rented place to the tenant within 15 days from the date of the signing of the rental contract by the parties. If this obligation is not met, the tenant may renounce its commitment within fifteen days following the end of the term, provided that it is notified by notarized notice ten days in advance.

According to the regulations, students over 18 years of age, together with their parents, may participate in the general assembly of the parent-teacher association and the management and supervisory board, in order to ensure that the work and operations of Parent-teacher associations established in non-formal education institutions are carried out adequately.
