No, you don't.
Foreigners without a stable job, looking for an apartment for residence permit and with vague guarantees - definitely not a desirable tenant now in Turkey. Therefore, apartments are rented poorly, with prepayments for six months in advance.
That's why there's a thriving market for workarounds. And I must warn you!
Buy Address Scheme The "helpers" are apparently signing leases for some of their apartments. As a result, a bunch of foreigners are registered at the same address. This used to work, because the nüfus registered the foreigners and the geç did not see that there were already foreigners in the apartment. Now the geç registers at the address and sees it. And either discharges the previous ones (i.e. you easily find yourself discharged), or simply denies residence permit.
The same scheme is used to get around the ban on residency in certain neighborhoods. No, you can't do that.
