Another thing that should be taken into consideration particularly in communities where land values are escalating, for instance beach side communities and those popular with foreigners, is, 'Is the property currently part of a court action to determine ownership?' Although the court process is not your business (and please don't get involved) it can bring about unwanted changes and a lot of drama to you even as a renter. Mariana you are so very right when you advise to engage with a reputable agent. They will know which properties are in ownership dispute and will avoid them.

We learned some of these things after we moved in. Like one of our toilets quit working shortly after we moved in and our landlord said we had to pay to fix it because it was normal wear and tear! Plus not all our windows have screens on them so we can’t leave them open at night due to misquotes and she said that is a want not a necessity 😮 do we are learning some lessons. Thank you for this great video!!!

Great video Mariana. Super, super informative. One thing not mentioned, if one uses the services of a rental agent who pays for their services? Are they on salary? If not, does the landlord pay their commission, or does the renter pay their commission? And if it's the renter that pays, then what is that cost? And how does it work if purchasing, who pays the commission? Thanks so much.

Hi there It depends on the individual Most rental agents are paid by the landlord

Do you have an opinion on the method of renting an Airbnb for the short-term to try out the property, and If we like it, negotiating with the owner for a longer-term lease?

@jackb1803 2 жыл бұрын

Sometimes you may move in and discover the stove or refrigerator is missing. What happened? More likely than not, the appliance that came with the rental broke and the landlord refused to pay for a replacement. So when the prior renter moved out, they just took what was theirs or sold it off.

@MexicoRelocationGuide 2 жыл бұрын

That’s why it’s important to agree that you’ll do inventory within 7 days of moving in to ensure this doesn’t happen

What agents site you have to look for rental

@MexicoRelocationGuide 2 жыл бұрын

we recommend a few things: Visiting the area and finding the neighborhoods you like best, then looking for signs that say "se renta". However, I would highly recommend at least having someone who speaks good Spanish help you out. At the very least make sure your contract is in English if you don't speak Spanish. Don't sign anything you don't understand. But if you're not physically in Mexico and want to do some research I recommend Facebook Marketplace Propiedades.com or one of the various FB groups that posts rentals

If you’re looking for a 3 month rental the best option is to go through Airbnb

@shariward7733 Жыл бұрын

Would it be easier to air b n b if 6 months or less . I thin k for long term air bnb u should be able to get a better rate. Don't air bnb include everything and then no rental extra fee forgot name of it (fiador) equal to a months rent and then 1st and last rent . Renting seems like you could easily have more fees than expecting.

@MexicoRelocationGuide Жыл бұрын

Renting will just give you more flexible on the type of places. Because Airbnb might have a limited amount. But yes Airbnb is a great option

@MexicoRelocationGuide Жыл бұрын

Not sure what you mean about the truth? You can easily check all of these things either by visiting the house in person or reading your lease. Never rent without seeing a house first 😀 and don’t sign a lease you don’t understand
