EXPATS IN MEXICO · EXPATS · MEXICO, 1 JUNE 2026

Key Facts

—The aval is the hurdle. Renting an apartment in Mexico usually requires an aval (a local property-owning guarantor); without one, many landlords accept a paid rental-guarantee policy instead.

—Budget the upfront cost. Expect a deposit of one month’s rent plus the first month, and sometimes an agency fee.

—Search where locals do. Use portals like Inmuebles24 and Vivanuncios, local Facebook groups, and neighbourhood signs and agents.
