lucky one Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have heard the law favors tenants over landlords, but short of costly court proceedings, does one have any rights to bodily move a non-paying tenant or their furniture, and install new locks?

Intercasa Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Spend money on a good contract and qualify your tenants. Many people are pennywise and pound foolish, not wishing to invest in a good rental contract nor investigate tenants so for their savings of less than $2,000 pesos they lose tens of thousands later. The law is pro tenant, however, a tenant can waive many or their statutory rights in a contract. This would include foregoing any bond that would be required in order to seize their belongings after failing to pay the rent for 2 months.

Joco Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you rent to "Gringos", you can write a complaint to Imigration, & they will summon the person for a hearing Why would INM have a hearing in a landlord/tenant dispute? Do you personally know of this happening? What about foreign landlords who do not have permission to earn money in Mexico or who do not pay tax on rent to Hacienda, do tenants have a hearing at INM for bad landlords?
