However, the&nbsp;<strong>acts or omissions<\/strong>&nbsp;of mall management can cause&nbsp;<strong>financial or physical harm<\/strong>&nbsp;to tenants or third parties. In such cases, it is possible to seek&nbsp;<strong>compensation<\/strong>&nbsp;for losses and hold responsible parties liable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in what circumstances can damages caused by mall management give rise to a compensation claim? What rights do tenants have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Are the Responsibilities of Shopping Mall Management?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mall management is typically responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintenance of common areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security and cleaning services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technical operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advertising and promotional activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Failure to perform these services with&nbsp;<strong>reasonable care and diligence<\/strong>&nbsp;may lead to&nbsp;<strong>negligence<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>breach of contract<\/strong>, or&nbsp;<strong>fault-based liability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legal Basis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Turkish Code of Obligations (TCO) Art. 49 \u2013 Tort Liability<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA person who causes damage to another through a wrongful and culpable act is obliged to compensate the damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TCO Art. 112 \u2013 Contractual Liability<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA debtor is liable for damages arising from failure to perform or improper performance of the obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Condominium Law Art. 35 \u2013 Duties and Powers of Management<\/strong><br>Defines the duties of building management under the registered\u00a0<strong>management plan<\/strong>.

Failure to Fulfill Promotional Obligations or Breach of Contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the mall fails to conduct agreed-upon marketing activities or allows unfair competition, tenants may suffer commercial harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Misuse or Obstruction of Common Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unauthorized stands, blocked walkways, or lack of cleanliness can negatively affect store traffic and sales, leading to a claim for loss of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Are the Rights of Tenants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenants suffering losses due to mall mismanagement may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>File a\u00a0<strong>declaratory lawsuit<\/strong>\u00a0to establish the existence and extent of the damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Initiate a\u00a0<strong>compensation lawsuit<\/strong>\u00a0for both material and, if appropriate, moral damages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seek\u00a0<strong>termination of the lease<\/strong>\u00a0and request compensation for damages due to breach of contract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Burden of Proof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tenant must demonstrate that the damage resulted from the&nbsp;<strong>negligence or fault<\/strong>&nbsp;of the mall management through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Documentary evidence (e.g., photos, correspondence, reports)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Witness statements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expert opinions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To succeed in a compensation claim, the tenant must establish&nbsp;<strong>damage<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>causation<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>fault<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damages caused by mall management can result in significant commercial losses for tenants and other occupants.
