Searching for rental apartment in Mexico City (CDMX) does not have to become a long, expensive, and exhausting process. More and more people between the ages of 25 and 44 — professionals, creatives, and digital nomads — are choosing to rent directly, without brokers, to have more control, savings, and flexibility.
If you're considering moving to a new space in one of the best areas of the city, this guide shows you why leaving intermediaries behind might be the smartest decision you make.
No commissions, no surprises
Renting without a broker means forgetting about unnecessary payments: no commissions, fees, or “management charges.” What you pay goes directly to the space you choose, without third parties taking a part of your investment. You can use that money for what truly matters: decorating your new home, dining out in your favorite neighborhood, or simply treating yourself.
You can review the contract, ask questions directly, and get immediate answers. Everything is faster, direct, and transparent.
No pressure, no hidden agendas
When there’s no broker involved, you have complete freedom to decide. You visit the apartment you’re interested in, meet the people who manage it, and make a decision based on what truly suits you, not what they want to sell you. It’s your space, and it should feel that way from the start.
Monthly rent, no guarantor or excessive deposits
Don’t have a guarantor? Are you moving from another city or country? Renting without intermediaries is ideal if you're looking for more accessible and human-friendly conditions. Many buildings offer options with rent without a guarantor, monthly contracts, and fewer requirements, which is key if you're starting a new chapter or want to maintain your freedom of movement.
"Stronger connection with the place you’re going to live."
No filters or middlemen
By dealing directly with the manager or owner, you get a real perspective of the place. You can better understand the surroundings, building rules, and available benefits. You start forming a connection with your new space from day one.
