What to know before you rent
- Deposits
- For urban housing leases, Ley 820 de 2003 forbids landlords from demanding cash deposits or other real guarantees, directly or through side agreements; guarantors or insurance policies are used instead. (source, 2026)
- Leases
- The lease term is whatever the parties agree; if none is stated it is one year, and the lease renews automatically on the same terms. (source, 2026)
- Tenant rights
- Rent can be raised only once every 12 months and by no more than the previous calendar year's consumer price inflation, with written notice to the tenant. (source, 2026)
