What does it cost for a vacation rental in Chapala and Ajijic, Mexico?
Spencer McMullen - Chapala Law
A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2,000 square feet vacation rental in a safe, gate-guarded neighborhood in the Chapala / Ajijic area would rent for about €1,800 (about US $2,000) a month. (My client is European, so he likes to collect rent in Euros.) The rental would include maid service, pool, views, and everything else.

You can rent houses from US $600 a month to $2,000 a month depending on what you want and where you want to stay. There might be some places that are less expensive but Chapala and Ajijic, in general, is not an expensive place.

The cost for a vacation rental in Chapala and Ajijic varies. If what you are looking for is a house with a pool, a Jacuzzi, and a maid, etc., then you could pay US $100 a day for something like that. You can easily find less expensive rates. Prices also vary depending if it is high season or not. High season tends to be January Feb and March, the time when it is cold everywhere else and people want to spend those months in a warmer sunnier place.

The Chapala lakeside area has many options to choose from for rentals. They range from nightly to long term. I will use US dollars when referring to prices. Nightly rentals can be found at hotels, B&Bs, Trip Advisor, Airbnb, Home Away and VRBO, with prices ranging from $20/night on up depending on size, location and length of stay.
Many of these places will also rent by the week or month. Short-term monthly rentals usually have a discounted...

Many of these places will also rent by the week or month. Short-term monthly rentals usually have a discounted rate with a six-month minimum. Oftentimes these rentals have private owners who utilize these homes part of the year themselves, frequently between the months of November and April. Long-term rentals are generally one or more years.
Like anywhere, there are a range of average prices starting from $300/month for a basic studio or small 1 bedroom, up to $2,000/month + for a fully furnished, multi-bedroom/bath home. The rent may or may not include housekeeper, gardener, cable/satellite TV, internet, phone and other utilities, all of which are quite affordable in Mexico.

A number of real estate companies have rental departments to facilitate both landlords and tenants. Rental properties can be owned by either Mexicans or expats and rental practices can vary widely. Most expect a security deposit along with the first month's rent. It is advisable to seek recommendations when using rental realtors or rental agencies and check into their track record with refunding of deposits. One more tip - in Mexico, often tenants are expected to do all maintenance and repairs out of their own pockets. Inventory of rentals varies throughout the year and can become almost non-existent during the "high" tourist season, November - March. Usually inventory is greater May through October, but a growing sunbird tourist season also exists that time of year.
