Go to Emlak, then Konut, then Kiralık, and pick Daire. Under the address filter choose the il and ilçe, and narrow to a few mahalle if you know the area. Set the oda sayısı you need (2+1, 3+1), a ceiling on the rent in lira, and use Kimden if you only want owners. Finally sort by date so the newest listing sits on top.

Watch the cards come in

Every new flat becomes a card in the chat: the cover photo, the listing title, the monthly rent and a button that opens the ilan. Each saved search carries its own hashtag, so Kadıköy and Üsküdar can share one chat without getting mixed up.

A Tuesday morning in Kadıköy

Picture it: a fairly priced 2+1 near Moda goes up at nine. By eleven the owner has spoken to a dozen people and set viewings with the first three. Anyone who rings after lunch hears that the flat is already promised. That is the ordinary rhythm of renting in central İstanbul, and it plays out much the same in Çankaya in Ankara or Alsancak in İzmir.

Refreshing the site between meetings does not change your place in that queue. Getting the card while the ilan is still fresh does.

Why a chat beats another browser tab

Telegram sits on your phone and your laptop with the same messages on both. The card shows enough to decide whether a flat is worth a call before you even open it: a dark living room or a rent at the very top of your range can be skipped in a second.

If you are hunting with a partner or a flatmate, forward the card. They get the same photo, the same price and the same button, so the two of you are discussing one listing rather than trading screenshots.

Turkish rental scams worth knowing about

Moving fast should never mean paying blind. Be cautious when someone asks for a kapora or deposit before you have seen the flat, says they are abroad and will courier the keys, pushes you to continue the conversation outside the site, or lists a rent far below everything else in the neighbourhood.

Visit in person, confirm you are dealing with the owner or a licensed agent, and sign the contract before any money changes hands.

Free, Starter or Pro for a flat hunt

Free gives you one saved search, checked every thirty minutes. Starter, at $5.99, covers five searches checked every ten minutes, which suits someone comparing a few districts at once. Pro, at $14.99, holds twenty searches on the fastest checks we run.

Telegram is included on every plan, Free as well, so the only question is how many areas you want covered and how often.

Muting the wide search, keeping the tight one loud

A search that covers all of İstanbul produces a steady stream of cards. Mark it silent: the cards still arrive, the phone stays quiet, and you scroll through them in the evening. Keep the narrow search, two or three ilçe and a realistic rent cap, on sound, so a buzz always means something worth ringing about.

❓Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Turkish phone number for Telegram?

No. Any Telegram account works, wherever it was registered.

Will flats already on the page be sent to me?

No. What is listed when you save the search is treated as the starting point, and only flats added after that arrive as cards.

Can I leave out estate agents?

Yes. Choose owners only in the Kimden filter on sahibinden before you copy the link, and only those listings will reach the chat.

Does this replace sahibinden's own saved searches?

It does not have to. The site's favori aramalar keep working as before; here you choose Telegram as the channel and the check frequency through your plan.

What should I do once I have signed a lease?

Pause or delete the search. You can add the same link again whenever you start looking next time.
