Renting a house gives you the flexibility to move to a new place whenever you want; however, sometimes there are problems
Renting a house means renting it for a set period of time, in exchange for a monthly payment called rent.
The owner of the house grants you the right to use and enjoy the property, while you agree to take care of it and pay the rent on time.
What happens if the landlord does not make the necessary repairs to the rented property?
According to the Justice Mexico website, if the landlord does not comply with making the necessary repairs for the use for which the house is intended, it will be up to the tenant to choose to terminate the contract or go to court to force compliance.
The judge may decide on the payment of damages caused to the tenant by the landlord not making the repairs in a timely manner.
Is it possible for a tenant to keep the place he rents?
According to the Federal Code of Civil Procedure, there is no way for a tenant to keep the property he rents, since it specifies that in the lease agreement the landlord is obliged to transfer the temporary use or enjoyment of a property to the tenant who is obliged to pay a certain price.
According to the law, this is because in most cases, even when there is no contract or a clear legal situation, it is demonstrable that the property is rented and does not belong to the tenant.
Meanwhile, it is extremely important to try to have a contract to support the possession of the property as a tenant.
For its part, according to Vivanuncios, it detailed that in the event that the owner plans to transfer ownership of the home and the tenant has rented the house for more than five years, he can protect his right to acquire the property based on article 2448-J of the Civil Code. However, he must consider that one of the conditions for this to be possible is to have made significant modifications to the property at the time he rented it.
