Leasing an apartment

Google your request. Go to Medellin Expats on Facebook. Go to the Medellin Guru. Tons of information for you there.

If you do not have a Colombian bank account and have not established credit here you will have to get a fiador and put down several months deposit in a CDT to secure your rental. This is, of course, you are dealing with a rental agency. Better off to work directly with apartment owners as they are much more flexible if you can.

Good luck!

Try AirnB

Better yet, move to the country. Its always better and easier....and cheaper, and healthier........But, if you insist on the big city full of smog and traffic, buena suerte.......I had no problems at all....Within a few daze of arriving, I had a beautiful fully and elegantly furnished 3 level 3 bth apartment in a gated community. I paid 2 months up front and signed a 3 month contract.........How many of you are there?

You can contact me, i don't know what problem it is. We do take deposit but no problem where someone is from, almost all our clients are foreigners.

You could try amablados medellin.  I had a pleasant experience renting with them.  Obviously the prices are a bit higher because their apartments come furnished.  Another thing that I've done is to solicit properties through Airbnb and just end up paying the homeowner in cash for a discounted rate and he simply blocks out the dates on his end.  I've done this for monthly rentals on la 70.  Hope it helps

I am an US citizen. I want to rent an unfurnished apartment in Medellin, preferably in El Poblado, Laureles, or Bellen.

Can you provide a list of real estatete rental agencies (immobiliares) that are open to deposits (3 to 6 months of rent in advance) or CDT, as I don't think I can get a fiador.

You can reach me at***

Thanks.

Hi,

I want to rent a 2+ bedroom apartment in Medellin, preferably in El Poblado, Laureles, or Bellen.

I am looking for alternatives to fiador, i'e' either CDT or prepaid rent arrangements.

Can you suggest any apartment rental agencies (immobiliaries?) that are open to these types of arrangements?

Thanks.
