Rent out my property in Cartagena
Rental agreement in Morros Epic Here is what changes in this sector and what to put in writing before handing the property over.
A residential rental agreement exists so both sides know in advance what happens in each foreseeable situation, which is why the valuable thing is holding the list of topics to cover before sitting down to sign. Among them: identification of the parties and the property, use restricted to housing, duration and how extension works, the method and channel of payment, how utilities and building dues are split, the agreed backing, the treatment of improvements and repairs, rules on pets, subletting and the number of residents, the attached inventory, return conditions, and grounds for early termination. The actual wording, the effect of each clause and what may validly be agreed in Colombia belong to a lawyer, not to a downloaded template. Questions worth bringing: which of my intentions carry no effect, how each side agreement gets documented, which annexes should be signed the same day. The deepest trouble comes from signing a generic form with no inventory, no cost split and no agreed way of giving notice. Nisimblat Law drafts and reviews this for clients of Dimare Collection.
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.

Buyer from Bogotá
The mortgage comes from a Colombian bank, against a local credit history, not from a bank abroad and not from the seller: the bank pulls your record from the centrales de riesgo, the credit bureaus, asks for proof of income and orders its own avalúo, the appraisal, and title study. Whoever answers for the approval is the bank's mortgage department, not the sales office. Ask in writing for the approval letter and the disbursement instructions, because each disbursement is supported by a different document: first the promesa de compraventa, the purchase promise, and then the escritura once registered with the mortgage recorded on it. The money does not enter through the regulated exchange market and there is no foreign investment to register with the Banco de la República; what does have to be assembled is proof of the source of funds, which is a separate matter and is requested by the bank and the notarÃa. You can sign in person, so no poder and no apostille are needed, yet you manage the property from another city: settle who receives it, who pays the predial, the property tax, and the building fee, and who issues the paz y salvo, the clearance certificate, before each step. What sets you apart from a MedellÃn buyer is not the law, which is the same, but the channel: your file is usually studied in the city where you live. Tax questions go to the DIAN and to an accountant.
