Checklist before renting a property in Mexico City
Before signing or handing over a property, organize the information involved in the transaction. This checklist is general guidance and does not replace individual legal review.
Identify the parties
Verify who is acting as owner, landlord and tenant, and make sure the information used in the transaction is consistent with the available documents.
Define the economic terms
Clarify rent, deposit, payment dates, utilities, maintenance and any additional financial terms that will form part of the agreement.
Document the property condition
Before handover, keep evidence of the physical condition, inventory when applicable, meters, keys and relevant observations.
Review before signing
The agreement should reflect the actual transaction. Avoid changing important clauses without understanding their effects, and retain signed copies of the transaction documents.
