Claudia Pierce Testimonial – Rosarito Beach Condo Hotel Clients

Happy and Satisfied Clients During Closing
in Rosarito Beach Condo Hotel!

“We’d like to give a shout-out to our fantastic Realtor, Claudia Pierce of Baja 123 Realty, who shepherded us through our very first buying experience in Mexico. And she did it during the trying times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Claudia was with us every step of the way including referring us to a great escrow company in Tijuana that operates similarly to a U.S. company which gave us great peace of mind. She was professional, engaging, communicative, and answered all our questions promptly, all of which gave us confidence throughout a buying process that was being done under difficult circumstances.

Once life returns to “normal”, we look forward to enjoying our lovely beachfront property in Rosarito. Thank you, Claudia, for being so good!!!”

Sincerely,
Ron & Aracely

Renting a Property in Mexico – Baja Legal Advice

The Lease Agreement

(Be careful what you bargain for)

Once an offer for a lease is accepted, a formal written rental agreement must be signed by the parties, all rent payments must be secured with a receipt.

If value added tax is added to the payment of rent, an invoice must be issued by the landlord to the tenant (an invoice is not a receipt).

The rental agreement is a private contract which allows the tenant temporary use of a property in exchange for a specified amount of rent. Rent is usually paid on a monthly basis, unless specified otherwise in the contract. It is advisable to have the contract reviewed by a lawyer to ensure that its terms do not violate the civil code. Estate agents generally ensure that this is done.
