Wash It is an important step that can help if you plan to become independent; however, sometimes the requirements requested by the owner, such as the initial deposit equivalent to three months of the lease, it could be a problem for your pocket.
In this context, the Nowo platform has emerged, which is a tool supported by Aserta Financial Group, which offers a warranty for the payment of rents and services, in addition to guaranteeing the owner of the property, thanks to its risk model, that the tenant will be complied with to avoid paying the initial deposit.
“Now is a warranty For the payment of rents and services derived from real estate lease contracts, this guarantee is constituted through surety insurance and this insurance right now is focused on rents between 5,000 and 100,000 pesos per month,” explained Gerardo Lozano at a press conference. , CEO of Aseguradora Aserta and Aseguradora Insurgentes.
According to Lozano, the tool constitutes three coverages:
- Unpaid rent. If a tenant can’t pay rent, Nowo settles it. “That is, we pay if the tenant does not pay,” Lozano said.
- Coverage of services and maintenance. The payment of maintenance services is made in the event of non-payment by the tenant, this with a limitation of up to 5,000 pesos per month.
- Support in case of eviction. If the owner has to incur the eviction of the tenant, the owner is supported with coverage of up to 50,000 pesos or three months’ rent, whichever is less.
In Mexico, there are 5.8 million houses for rent, of which 54% of them have a current contract, according to the National Housing Survey. According to Lozano, this is important, because Nowo’s functionalities are only valid in lease relationships that have a contract as established by law.
Lozano explained that, over the course of a year, the platform has been strengthened and has made at least 13 important changes to its functionality to guarantee a good service. Now, with an investment of nearly 1,200 million pesos, he plans to strengthen his model not only in Mexico, but also in Spain.
