Rent out my property in Cartagena
End a rental agreement in Karibana Here is what changes in this sector and what to put in writing before handing the property over.
Ending a rental relationship is an exercise in settling up, not in negotiating ahead. The order that works: give notice in the form and with the lead time agreed and keep proof that it was given, fix a date and hour for vacating, inspect the property with the resident present against the inventory and the entry report, confirm utilities and building dues are current with receipts in hand, receive and count keys and remotes, sign a restitution report with photographs, and only afterward determine which deductions apply and release the backing. Know beforehand what counts as normal wear and what counts as damage, because that is where the argument concentrates. The grounds that allow ending, the notices required and the consequences of each route are a lawyer's territory; the right question is what outcome I want and which path suits it. A frequent error is taking keys back without inspecting, or releasing the backing before utility accounts are confirmed. Unlike extending the arrangement, everything here aims at closing with no loose ends. Nisimblat Law supports that closing.
What Karibana is, and what changes there
Karibana is organized around a championship golf course laid out on the sea, with residences built into the course itself. That single fact shapes everything about it as real estate. What exists is not street fabric but a designed enclave where the open space belongs to the layout of the holes, so sightlines, setbacks and the position of a unit relative to the fairway and the water matter more than a street address would. The formats inside such a development typically range from apartments to houses within the perimeter, and each has its own governing documents. Anyone buying should separate what is residential ownership from what is access to the course, because club membership and play rights are a distinct arrangement that does not automatically travel with a deed, and the terms of that arrangement are confirmed case by case. Service dues in a development of this kind cover more than a building, which is relevant when comparing it with a tower on the main road. For renters, Karibana reads as a resort-adjacent address rather than a walkable one; cars are assumed. Whether a particular stage is built or still in progress needs verifying with current paperwork.

Mexican buyer
Two currencies are called pesos in this transaction, so always say which one you mean: the contract is signed in Colombian pesos while the money leaves in Mexican pesos. The transfer is converted, enters through the regulated exchange market with its declaración de cambio and is registered as foreign investment with the Banco de la República, which is who to ask about how and in whose name. The poder for signing from abroad is granted before a Colombian consul in the city where you live or before a notario público and then apostilled, and which of the two the Cartagena notarÃa wants is confirmed with that notarÃa and with the CancillerÃa before you fly anywhere to sign. Visa rules and the cédula de extranjerÃa are not the same for every nationality and belong to Migración Colombia: entering without a visa to visit the city and settling in it are two different situations. The tax question to settle with an accountant in each country is whether a treaty exists between Colombia and your country and what it says about rental income and about ganancia ocasional.
