Why a monthly lease, and why now
A stay of 30 days or more is a residential lease under Colombian law (Ley 820 de 2003), not tourist housing. It doesn’t need a tourism registration (RNT), and building bans on short-term rentals don’t apply to it.
Meanwhile, short-term rental supply is shrinking. Medellín’s Airbnb listings are down about 37% year on year, according to AirDNA (October 2026), after inspections, building bans and stricter RNT enforcement.
What you pay
- Registration: COP 20,000 + IVA (COP 23,800 in total), once. It unlocks messaging and booking requests.
- A 10% booking payment to the landlord when they accept your request. It counts towards your first month.
- The rest of the first month on move-in day, paid directly to the landlord.
- Paying by card? The card fee is shown before you pay. We never touch your rent.
