Turkey dismantles illegal tiny houses in Marmara and Aegean regions
© Haber Ay

Turkish authorities have started dismantling illegally installed tiny houses in the Marmara and Aegean regions. Since March 2026, inspections have intensified: structures fixed to the ground or connected to utilities are classified as unauthorized buildings requiring permits.

Timeline

  • Regions: Bursa, Muğla, Edirne, and Çanakkale.
  • Actions: houses are demolished, disconnected from infrastructure, and removed.
  • Consequences for owners: financial losses, fines, and lawsuits.

The campaign is driven by a change in legal Status: stationary tiny houses with utilities are no longer considered temporary and are subject to demolition. Owners now face legal risks.

Will motorhomes soon require a tachograph?

The European Commission has clarified that EU member states can exempt privately used motorhomes and motorhome-trailer combinations over 7.5 tonnes from mandatory tachograph rules. This follows a proposal that would have affected vehicles towing a trailer or with a special loading device, impacting approximately 4,700 vehicles in Germany. The decision aims to reduce costs and legal uncertainty for private users, with industry associations calling for swift national implementation.
