Frequently Asked Questions About Renting in Mexico
Foreigners typically need a valid passport, proof of income, and an Aval (a local property guarantor) to secure a 6-to-12-month lease. If you do not have an Aval, landlords usually accept a double security deposit or the cost of a legal mediation agreement (Convenio de Transacción) to finalize the contract securely.
What are the requirements for a foreigner to rent long-term in Mexico?
1
No, electricity (CFE) and high-speed internet are usually paid separately by the tenant in long-term residential contracts. HOA fees (mantenimiento) and municipal water are often included in the monthly rent, but we ensure this is explicitly verified in your lease agreement before signing.
Are utilities included in long-term rentals in the Riviera Maya and Mérida?
2
Yes, you can find excellent pet-friendly properties, particularly for small breeds like Yorkies, though landlords often require an additional pet deposit. If you are relocating internationally with your dog, we also recommend preparing their specific veterinary and vaccination paperwork well in advance to meet Mexico's travel entry requirements.
Are long-term rentals in the Riviera Maya and Mérida pet-friendly?
3
A standard security deposit equals one month of rent. However, international expats and professionals relocating without a local guarantor should expect to pay the equivalent of two months' rent upfront, alongside the first month's rent and the notary or lawyer fee for drafting the legal contract.
How much is a typical security deposit for a long-term rental in Mexico?
4
No, temporary residency is not legally required to sign a long-term lease in Mexico. You can secure a rental property using your passport and tourist visa, though obtaining residency makes setting up localized utilities and bank accounts much easier for permanent relocations.
