                                    Indoor acid rain.

Guiaunai Roustamova, who has a textile shop in Istanbul's Fatih district,
has been in a dispute with her landlord M .Ş. for the past year and a 
half over a rent increase.  According to Roustamova, in June M.Ş. 
wanted to increase her rent from 5,000 TL to 112,000 TL or the 
equivalent of $6,000.  (!) 

When Roustamova said she could not pay that amount of rent, M.Ş.
tried several ways to force her to leave.  In July, M.Ş. cut off the
electricity to Roustamova's shop and she was forced to light her
shop with a car battery.  In September, M.Ş. drilled holes in the floor
in the flat above Roustamova's shop and poured garlic water, oil and
laundry soap down to dissuade potential shoppers from visiting her
shop. (!)

Roustamova's shop and goods were damaged by this putrid flow from 
above, to the tune of 100,000 TL.   She filed a complaint against M.Ş.,
who claimed that the rent increase Roustamova stated was wrong and
that the flow from above was the result of repairs that went awry.  
Roustramova has been renting in M.Ş.'s building since 2018 but she
said that "since September I've been victimized, and the target of his
insults and curses.  I can't run my shop anymore."
