For Property Owners
CDMX broke tourism records in 2025 and 2026 — but most housing is still built for 12-month residents or nightly Airbnb guests. Offer furnished 1–6 month stays and fill a year with a few tenants, not dozens of turnovers. Simple move-in: ID, first month's rent, and deposit.
How we work with you
Your job is to get a great furnished property on the platform. We bring international tenants, handle inquiries in English, and coordinate the rental process with the service standards they expect abroad.

Tenants handled in English
International renters expect clear, responsive communication in English — from first inquiry through move-in coordination. Nomad Pads manages that side. You stay focused on your property; we handle the tenant experience they are used to from global rental platforms.
The underserved market
Visitors are staying weeks or months — for remote work, extended travel, and events like the 2026 World Cup. Hotels and Airbnb handle nights. Resident leases handle locals. Almost nothing is built for the middle.

The Airbnb market they're leaving
Tens of thousands of STR listings compete for nightly bookings — high fees, low occupancy, constant cleaning. Most guests can't afford Airbnb for 3–6 months anyway. That's demand without a product.

vs 2–4 medium-term tenants
Medium-term is the missing layer: easier to fill than a 12-month resident lease, less headache than Airbnb, and aimed at the fastest-growing visitor segment.
2025 brought 15.6 million visitors to CDMX — a million more than 2024. Early 2026 data shows international arrivals to Mexico still climbing. During the 2026 World Cup, CDMX alone saw 4.4 million travelers; a third of overnight visitors used digital lodging platforms — but most platforms still price by the night, not the month.

Why medium-term wins
Resident leases and short-term platforms were built for different customers. Medium-term is the gap — and it's where the growth is.

CDMX welcomed 15.6 million visitors in 2025 and saw another surge around the 2026 World Cup — yet most landlords still choose between two broken options: a 12-month resident lease foreigners can't sign, or Airbnb's nightly churn and fees.
The underserved middle is obvious. A remote worker or extended-stay tourist won't pay hotel rates for three months or Airbnb's platform cut on 90 nights — but they will pay fair monthly rent if someone offers it.
List a furnished unit for 1–6 months. Fill the calendar with a handful of tenants. Skip the fiador hunt, skip the cleaning treadmill, and tap a market that grew by a million visitors last year alone.
Move-in checklist
Not required from tenants
What you get
Valid ID, first month's rent, and one-month deposit. No fiador, no póliza, no Mexican credit history.
We coordinate inquiries and messaging in English with the responsiveness international renters expect. You list the property — we handle the tenant side.
You set the price. We don't mark up your rent or take a cut of your monthly income. Individual owners list for free; property managers have a separate partnership fee.
Two to four medium-term stays can book out 12 months. No weekly cleanings, no guest reviews, no race to the bottom on nightly rates.
Millions of international visitors pass through CDMX every year. Most can't sign a one-year lease or provide a fiador — but they will pay fair monthly rent.
Platform fees, cleaning churn, and price caps eat into short-term revenue. One medium-term tenant at a clear monthly rate is simpler and often more profitable.
You provide a move-in-ready furnished unit. We list it, route inquiries, and coordinate the process — you sign the lease with your tenant.

What we look for
No. Individual owners set their own rent and keep 100% of the monthly payment. We do not mark up your price or take a commission on landlord income. Tenants pay a separate Nomad Pads service fee. Property management companies work under a separate partnership fee billed to Nomad Pads — not added to rent.
No. Nomad Pads handles tenant inquiries and coordination in English with the customer service standards international renters expect. You focus on your property; we manage the tenant communication side.
Valid ID (passport or government ID), first month's rent, and a one-month refundable deposit. No fiador, no póliza, no Mexican bank account required.
30-day minimum, usually 1–6 months. Extensions may be available depending on your property and the tenant.
Create an owner account, add your property, set your price and availability dates, and publish. When a tenant inquires, we connect you both and facilitate the lease.
Airbnb charges 15–20%+ platform fees, expects constant turnover, and averages ~45% occupancy in CDMX — half your nights empty. Medium-term tenants pay one monthly rate with no per-stay cleaning. Two to four tenants can fill a year; Airbnb needs 50+ guest turnovers for the same calendar.
We focus on safe, walkable central neighborhoods — Roma Norte & Sur, La Condesa, Polanco, Juárez, San Rafael, Centro Histórico, Narvarte, and similar. We generally don't list in Doctores. Other CDMX areas are evaluated case by case.
