The guarantor problem
Renting an apartment in Guadalajara usually requires an aval — a guarantor who owns property in the city and signs against it — plus proof of Mexican income, a deposit of one or two months, and a twelve-month lease. If you have just arrived, if you are a foreigner, or if you do not plan to stay a year, none of those requirements make sense for you, and they still shut the door.
Nora is not a lease: it is accommodation with a monthly rate. That removes the guarantor, the credit check and the long contract, and reduces the deal to the only thing that matters, which is how long you are staying.
Monthly rates
| Room | With fan | With air conditioning |
|---|---|---|
| Double Room | $7,900 MXN / month | $9,300 MXN / month |
| Twin Room | $8,900 MXN / month | $10,300 MXN / month |
The rate applies from 30 days and you can extend month by month up to a maximum of six months. For stays of 7 to 29 nights there is an intermediate weekly rate.
