Özet:

 The right of preemption can arise from legal provisions or contractual agreements. The right of preemption arising from a contract is addressed in Turkish Civil Code and Turkish Code of Obligations. These rights may either derive directly from a pre-emption agreement or result from a contractual clause added to another agreement, such as a lease contract. It is noteworthy that examples of the latter form have been cited in the recent jurisprudence. The main reason why pre emption agreements differ in form from purchase and repurchase agreements is that pre-emption clauses are frequently included in lease contracts in practical applications. The clause granting the lessee a right of pre-emption included in the lease agreement serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, it allows the lessee to potentially acquire ownership of the leased property in the future. On the other hand, it provides the lessee with the ability to prevent unwanted third parties from gaining ownership rights over the subject property. Consequently, granting the lessee a right of pre-emption has significant practical implications. The insertion of a pre-emption clause into a lease contract merges a regulation with independent implications into the agreement. This requires identifying the consequences and effects of the right of preemption, particularly in relation to lease agreements. This study tackled this problem. Specifically, the analysis encompasses whether the right of pre-emption is contingent on the lease contract, how the length of the right of pre-emption is established, and what occurs to the right of pre-emption upon the expiration of the lease agreement.

 Önalım hakkı, önalım olgusu gerçekleştiğinde hak sahibine, hakkın konusu üzerinde mülkiyet hakkı kazanma olanağı tanıyan bir yenilik doğuran haktır. Önalım hakkı kanundan ya da sözleşmeden doğabilir. Sözleşmeden doğan önalım hakkı Türk Medeni Kanunu ve Türk Borçlar Kanununda ele alınmıştır. Sözleşmeden doğan önalım hakkı ya doğrudan doğruya önalım sözleşmesinden doğar ya da kira sözleşmesi gibi başka bir sözleşmeye eklenen bir sözleşme kaydına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkar. Son yıllarda mahkeme içtihatlarında anılan bu ikinci şeklin örneklerine rastlanmaktadır. Kanun koyucu önalım sözleşmesinde geçerlilik şekli olarak adi yazılı şekli yeterli görmüştür. Esas itibarla önalım sözleşmesinin şekil yönünden alım ve gerialım sözleşmelerinden ayrılarak görece daha kolay bir şekilde yapılabilmesinin temel sebebi de mehaz uygulamada sıklıkla karşılaşılan kira sözleşmelerine önalım kayıtlarının eklenmesi halidir. Kira sözleşmesi yapıldığı sırada sözleşmeye koyulan bir kayıtla kiracı lehine meydana gelen önalım hakkı bir yandan kiracının gelecekte kira konusunun mülkiyetini kazanabilmesine kapı aralamakta, öte yandan kiracının, kira konusu üzerinde istemediği kişilerin mülkiyet hakkı kazanmasına engel olma imkânı tanımaktadır. Bu yönüyle kiracıya önalım hakkı tanımanın önemli pratik sonuçları bulunmaktadır. Kira sözleşmesinde önalım kaydına yer verilmesiyle birlikte, kanun koyucunun bağımsız hüküm ve sonuç bağladığı bir kurum, kira sözleşmesiyle iç içe geçmektedir. Bunun sonucu olarak bilhassa önalım hakkının hüküm ve sonuçlarını kira sözleşmesini de nazara alarak tayin etmek gerekmektedir. Çalışma bu konuyu ele almaktadır. Bu bağlamda önalım hakkının kira sözleşmesine bağlı olup olmadığı, önalım hakkının süresinin nasıl belirleneceği, kira sözleşmesinin sona ermesi halinde önalım hakkının akıbetinin ne olacağı incelenmektedir.
