As of 2026, the meeting and decision-making processes in risky buildings have been significantly simplified with the amendment to the Implementing Regulation of Law No. 6306, published in the Official Gazette on February 4, 2026. Processes now proceed much faster, and strict notification obstacles are overcome.

Here is the process for inviting people to meetings in risky buildings according to the updated legislation of 2026:

1. Meeting Request and Conditions

• One Owner Sufficient: Once it has been confirmed that the building is structurally unsound, a written request from just one owner is sufficient to summon all owners to a meeting.

• Simple Majority Goal: The primary objective of the meeting is to reach a decision with 50% + 1 (simple majority) on matters such as building reconstruction, sale, or reinforcement. The previously required 2/3 majority is no longer necessary.

2. Invitation and Announcement Procedure (New Conveniences)

With the 2026 regulation, the "unreachable owner" problem has been resolved through a public announcement method.

• Annex-12 Form: The meeting invitation is prepared using Form No. 12, Annex-12, as specified in the regulations.

• Announcement Process: The invitation letter will be announced for 15 days by being posted at the relevant neighborhood headman's office or at the building's entrance (on the building's notice board).

• Notification Deemed Complete: The last day of this 15-day announcement period is considered the day all stakeholders (owners) have been notified. Furthermore, the obligation to send a registered letter with return receipt to each owner individually does not hinder the process if this announcement is made.

• Electronic Notification: Notifications to property owners whose electronic notification address (UETS) is registered in the land registry can also be made through this channel.

3. Meeting Agenda and Location

• The invitation should clearly state the location, date, time, and agenda of the meeting.

• Critical Rule: A topic not on the agenda cannot be discussed or decided upon at the meeting. Therefore, items such as "Rebuilding the building," "Selection of the contractor," or "Sale of shares" must be clearly written on the agenda.

4. Decision and Minutes

• First Meeting: A simple majority (50% + 1) is required based on land share ratio.

• Second Meeting: If a simple majority is not achieved at the first meeting, a second meeting will be held with those present. However, the quorum for decision-making is always a simple majority based on shareholding.

• Minutes: All decisions made must be recorded in minutes and signed by those attending the meeting. These minutes are the fundamental document for the process of selling the shares of those who did not agree with the decision.

Important Note: If your building has a manager, you can continue to use traditional methods such as "registered mail with return receipt" or "hand delivery against signature"; however, the new "Neighborhood Headman's Office/Building Door Announcement" method is the biggest advantage of 2026 in terms of legal speed and certainty.
