Rental Contracts
Rentals are a great way to get to know any area. Either for a short term on up to a few months. Many retirees move after a year or so, on to an even more exciting or beautiful location. Often they just want to be totally certain that a place is right before making a commitment to actually buying a property. And renting is a great way to do that. Livtopia has even scheduled searches to begin in a new location as the end of customer's lease draws near. Just let us know where you're thinking of going next and we'll send you a list when the time approaches.

For those with no assets in Mexico, landlords may demand 3-4 months rent in advance as a security deposit. Lease agreements are not to be treated lightly. Statuatory rules regarding enforcement can be very strict and tend to favor landlords, so you are better off honoring any agreement you make. Livtopia's Concierge service offers totally free rental contract negotiation, and in many cases we can get security deposits significantly reduced or we can help you to get a lease for exactly the time period you request.
