What we look for in Cozumel contracts
On the island, we see lots of short-term/vacation leases, condo “house rules” addenda, and offer/promissory agreements tied to presales. English PDFs and WhatsApp summaries often diverge from the Spanish that actually governs. Common pitfalls include open-ended cleaning/utility charges, deposit language that treats normal wear as “damage,” and payment schedules that aren’t tied to inspections or municipal paperwork.
We prioritize the controlling Spanish, translate risks into plain English, and give you a concise request list. If helpful, we’ll draft a short bilingual addendum to set expectations on deposits, utility caps, hand-over checklists, and exit terms—so checkout or closing day is boring (the good kind).
