The Congress of the State of Nuevo Le\u00f3n approved a significant amendment to the Civil Code for the State of Nuevo Le\u00f3n regarding the lease of urban properties, introducing new obligations and limits for landlords and tenants.<\/p>

Pursuant to Article 2346, landlords are now required to issue a receipt for each monthly rent payment made. If such receipts are not delivered for a period of three months, the rent shall be presumed to have been paid, unless a timely demand has been made to claim payment.<\/p>

This article further specifies that the security deposit required by the landlord from the tenant to guarantee the performance of the tenant\u2019s obligations may not exceed the equivalent of one month\u2019s rent.<\/p>

Article 2346 BIS, in turn, provides that in leases intended for residential use, the term of the agreement shall be six months, renewable by agreement of the parties. In addition, rent must be set in national currency, and increases may not exceed 10% of the current monthly rent. If an increase exceeding such limit is agreed upon, a new agreement must be executed.<\/p>

These amendments reflect the legislature\u2019s intention to establish clearer rules regarding leasing matters. Consequently, new lease agreements executed in Nuevo Le\u00f3n must comply with the provisions set forth in this new legal framework.<\/p>
