What Nomad Pads is and how the model works.
Nomad Pads is a marketplace that connects digital nomads and expats with furnished medium-term rentals in Mexico City. Owners list move-in-ready apartments in safe central neighborhoods — Roma Norte & Sur, La Condesa, Polanco, Juárez, San Rafael, and similar — on 30-day minimum terms up to 6 months with extensions when owners allow. Typical move-in: ID, first month's rent, and a one-month deposit. Fiador and póliza are not required on most partner listings.
We offer 1–6 month initial terms, with the option to extend when you want to stay longer. Exact length is confirmed in your lease before you sign. This fills the gap between short-term tourist rentals and traditional 12-month local leases.
Safe, walkable central CDMX — Roma Norte & Sur, La Condesa, Polanco, Juárez, San Rafael, Centro Histórico, Narvarte, and comparable neighborhoods. We generally don't list in Doctores. Other areas are evaluated case by case for owners.
Screening, visas, payments, deposits, and lease length.
Yes. Tourist visa holders are welcome. CDMX does not require residency to rent. Many tenants are on 180-day tourist visas. Always follow Mexican immigration rules for your stay; we are not an immigration advisor.
Typically three things: a valid ID (passport or government ID), first month's rent, and a one-month refundable deposit. We do not run credit or background checks for partner properties. Fiador and póliza are not required on most listings — confirm any owner-specific requirements on the property page.
No. We do not run credit checks or background checks for our partner properties. Move-in is straightforward: ID, first month's rent, and a one-month deposit.
For most Nomad Pads partner listings, a Mexican fiador (guarantor) and arrendamiento póliza are not required. Move-in is typically ID, first month's rent, and a one-month deposit. Some owners may set their own requirements — always confirm for the specific property before you commit.
One month's rent, refundable after a property inspection at lease end. Returned in full within 10 business days if the property is in the condition received.
We accept USD or MXN via international bank wire, Wise, Revolut, or Mexican SPEI. Rent is due on the same date each month.
Most leases run 1–6 months initially, with the option to extend. Notice and any early-exit terms are spelled out in your contract—if your plans change, we discuss options case by case.
Yes. You receive a formal bilingual contrato de arrendamiento with the property owner. Nomad Pads facilitates the rental process; your lease is a standard Mexican rental contract.
All apartments include high-speed internet, electricity, water, and gas in the monthly rent. A/C, washer, and dryer availability (in-unit or building) varies by property — confirm when you inquire. Cleaning is available at additional cost on request.
Yes. After your initial 1–6 month term, you can extend with 15 days notice before the current term ends. Same rate unless market conditions require an adjustment, communicated 30 days in advance.
Listing, furnishing, neighborhoods, and tenant coordination.
Create an owner account and add your furnished property through our site. We review your unit, confirm it meets our standards, and list it on the platform. When a screened tenant applies, we connect you and facilitate the lease process.
You set your price. We help you understand market rates for furnished medium-term rentals across central CDMX so you can price competitively.
Joint inspection at move-out. The apartment is returned in agreed condition per your lease. Security deposit terms are between you and your tenant.
Yes. You sign the lease with your tenant. Nomad Pads coordinates inquiries and the rental process, but the relationship is between you and the renter.
Standard security deposits apply per your lease agreement. We recommend one month's rent as deposit, with inspection at move-out.
Owners furnish units. Nomad Pads does not outfit properties on behalf of owners. We look for well-maintained, move-in-ready furnished homes with working plumbing and electrical, a working desk and chair for tenants, and building security. A/C and laundry (washer/dryer, in-unit or building) are preferred but not required.
