Documents Required for Companies Renting in Mexico City

For tenants or co-signers that are companies.

When the tenant or the co-signer is a company, the background check focuses on its legal, tax and financial capacity. The documentation is practically the same whether the company is the tenant or the co-signer; only the legal lease policy (póliza jurídica) application form changes.

From the company

• Articles of incorporation stamped by the Public Registry.
• Proof of address for the registered tax address.
• Up-to-date Tax Status Certificate (Constancia de Situación Fiscal).
• Financial statements, interim or annual tax returns, or complete bank statements showing income of at least 3 times the rent.
• Rental application (policy form).
• Authorization for a credit bureau (Buró de Crédito) check on the legal representative.
• Advance payment for the legal lease policy background check ($1,000). Confirm with your advisor before making the advance payment.

From the legal representative

• Notarized power of attorney.
• Official ID; if a foreign national, a copy of their immigration document.
• Email and phone number of the legal representative or of the contact person during the lease.

The legal representative signs the lease agreement and the application forms.

From the person who will occupy the property (if applicable)

• Official ID.
• Employment letter or proof that they work for the company.

Note: if the company is publicly traded, bank statements are not requested, because its financial information is public. All documents must be sent as complete or properly scanned PDFs; screenshots and images are not accepted.

If the tenant or co-signer is an individual, see Documents required for individuals.
