Rental management in Mérida
In Mérida, the rentals that move are not weekend getaways but mid-term stays: full winters, digital nomads and families trying out the city before they buy. We connect you with local managers who know this kind of rental.
Mérida rents by the month
Demand tends to peak in the winter months, when people escape the cold in the US, Canada and Europe. In summer demand drops and many houses sit empty.
A stay of one month or more means less turnover and fewer cleanings than short-term rentals, but it calls for a clear lease, a deposit and house rules.
First, your HOA rules and your taxes
Before listing anything, we review your community's bylaws: some limit rentals, require tenants to be registered at the guard gate or set rules for using shared amenities.
Renting out your home in Mexico comes with tax obligations, for foreign owners too. We recommend going over them with a Mexican accountant before you start, and your manager helps keep receipts in order.
What management covers
Listings and photos on rental platforms and long-stay channels, seasonal pricing, guest screening, leases, check in, cleaning between stays and handling repairs.
One thing specific to Mérida: A/C usage. For long stays, put in writing who pays for electricity and how it is measured, so nobody gets surprised by the CFE bill.
When the house is not rented
In the months without tenants, the house needs the same checks as any closed home. We coordinate it with our home watch service so it is never left alone.

Frequently asked questions
Can I rent out my house in a gated community?
It depends on each community's bylaws. We check with the administration before your house goes live.
Who pays for electricity on a multi-month rental?
It is set in the lease. A common approach is a monthly allowance included in the rent, or billing actual usage, because A/C can push the bill up a lot.
What about the summer months?
Demand drops. You can look for summer stays at a lower rate or keep the house closed with home watch.
Do I have to pay taxes on rental income in Mexico?
Yes, renting creates tax obligations in Mexico. Review them with an accountant before you start.
