How should I hand over an apartment to a tenant in Morros Epic?

Handover record for a tenant in Morros Epic Here is what changes in this sector and what to put in writing before handing the property over.

Handover is a concrete act performed the day the occupant takes the keys, and it deserves to be treated as a proceeding rather than a quick errand. You walk the apartment space by space with the incoming resident present, test what works in front of them, note every mark and scratch, read the meters, count and label keys and remotes, and sign a report in which both sides acknowledge the condition received, backed by dated photographs. In the same session you explain the practical things: the breaker panel, the main water valve, the trash and service areas, building hours, who to call at the administration office, and where a fault gets reported. Write down anything still pending from the owner and the date it is due. What tends to go wrong is handing over remotely, sending keys with a third party, and later finding damage with no way to date it. The list of goods inside the unit is built separately and is work of its own; handover is simply when that list gets checked and signed. Dimare Collection attends this step in the city.

What Morros Epic is, and what changes there

Morros Epic is one of the developments in the Morros and Manzanillo corridor north of the airport, the stretch where closed residential complexes face the sea along the main road. Its name places it within that family of projects, which as a product format means condominium living: a private unit inside a building governed by its own bylaws, with shared areas, shared services and dues set by an owners' assembly rather than individual ownership of land. What that implies for a decision is that the relevant file is the building's and not the terrain's, and that the comparison worth making is with the neighboring complexes on the same stretch, which differ in age, density, position relative to the beach and the kind of shared space they offer. Nothing about the specific characteristics of this project, its current stage of construction or what may be offered in it should be taken from a name: each of those points is established case by case with current documentation. For renters and for owners thinking about seasonal use, the governing question is what the condominium rules permit, which is confirmed for that building and no other.

Beachfront houses

A beachfront house is bought differently because one of its boundaries was not drawn by a surveyor: the water draws it and the State defines it. In front of the lot lies a strip that is bien de uso público of the Nation —public domain— which cannot be sold, fenced or acquired by the passage of time. So part of what you enjoy from the terrace will never belong to anyone, and the public keeps its right of access. That condition reshapes the whole review. A clean deed and a clean folio are not enough: you need to know where that line sits today, whether any structure on the lot crossed it, and whether a proceeding is open before the maritime or environmental authority, because building on public land is not cured with money or at a notaría. The second point is that the property lives inside a medium that attacks it. Salt air and surf work on the structure year round, so what you buy includes maintenance that never pauses and, very often, a coastal protection work whose owner and whose duty to repair are worth identifying before signing, especially when it sits outside the boundary or is shared with neighbors.
