Here is one of the reasons why apartment owners don`t want to sublet.

LilaM says on Jan 28, 2008, 18:46:

jejjeje that happens lot of the time in the hotels, I remember a wellknown speaker that we brought to Colombia to give a speech... one night he brought a lady to the hotel .... and when that "lady" tried to cross the front desk the manager said that she was not allowed to enter the room, she was trying to look normal but at the end. The guy (manager) called our coordinator to explain what was happening at 3 in the morning!!! Of course the thing was solved after a 30 minute call, where the speaker was explaining how important she was for him that night... at the end the poor guy slept alone... jejeje

Yep, very true. And no, I didn't contribute to this type of event....

Lisa Zee says on Jan 28, 2008, 18:54:

Last year I was talking with a person at this building that lived across from someone that rented to foreigners by the week or month, and once 3 guys the renters, where having parties until 3:am and 4:am, my friend kept on telling then to please be quit, that he had to go to work in the mornig, and they would respond: "hey we are paying here".
They will call the infamous "prepagos"and if they did not like them they would threw them out!, and call new ones, and these women would hang around the porteria yelling and fighting and demanding to get paid. I think you get the picture!!!

LilaM says on Jan 28, 2008, 18:59:

jejejeje crazy people everywhere Lisa Zee, but yes that´s a pain, and how you can handle that?... I think maybe calling the police? .... dunno...

Here in Miami, we have the Tres XXXs Rojas Love Motels on Calle Ocho and Okeechobee Road in Hialeah. They rent by the Hour! Great Business but don't plan on any sleep if you are a Legitimate Customer. LOL

what is wrong with having a woman in your hotel room?? I've never had a problem in america or colombia taking girls to my room.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Jan 28, 2008, 21:37:

I don't think it's the girls in your room that is the problem. From what I read above it's rather the girls in the lobby, hall, entrance, in front of the building, at the gate fighting and screaming because they didn't get paid that is the problem.

Good comments....there are lots of reasons, the utilities stay in the owners name, they don't like high electric or phone...some things can be kept under control , some cant...if you have a very nice place....and you rent to some gringo..he's got girls in and out..it draws attention. Owners don't like lots of strange people, especially if their place is very nice...then if they have a fight and the cops show up, looking around at a nice place...draws questions. Basically not worth the hastle in most cases.

Lisa y Lila mis amores... cuando sepan de rumbas asi me dejan saber. Yo recojo las pobres prepagos de la calle y las invito aunque sea a comer pandequeso con aguapanela. No se pueden tratar tan mal las peladitas por dios.

As a owner, I do not see the problem.
I use an agency, they do their work for a fee and are responsible for the rent, the apartment and things in it.
That's why they are so strict with documents and do not rent out to anyone.
It would be difficult for a gringo to rent, but that's the idea.

And anyway, gringos would whine about the "gringo price" of my apartment, which is in fact just a normal market price for a Colombian.

No doubt robi and tejas..... you pay for what you get..... you're brave to even rent robi...good luck for sure.

Liza.... sabes? no es la priemera vez que escucho eso, un amigo extranjero se dedicaba a sub-arrendar apartamentos a otros extranjeros y se cansó del negocio por todas las cosas extrañas que hacían estas personas en ellos.

LilaM says on Jan 29, 2008, 10:34:

jejejeje Mitch como dificil eso de saber donde son las rumbas jejejeje pero seguro que si me entero te digo jejeje Y no se trata de tratar mal a alguien o no... es que si se vuelve un escándalo y una molestia para los vecinos... pues imagínate una mamera...

Lisa Zee says on Jan 29, 2008, 14:50:

This ruins it for the nice guys that want to bring an nice girl "for coffee". You have to be considerate to the neighbors, they have to go to work in the morning, they are not on vacation!. Unless you rent a huge house or a finca you can`t be loud, otherwise you make it difficult to have an owner of an apt in a nice neighborhood renting to party animals!

arthur brode says on Jan 29, 2008, 15:27:

yeah!
it makes it hard for guys like me to invite her over for tea and crumpets:(

Enrique187 says on Jan 29, 2008, 15:54:

what about also the problem with prepagos that steal things out of apartments? if you had nice furnishings in your apt would you want to rent it out to a coked up sex tourist that is gonna bring prepagos there that might drug him or rob things out of the place? What if there are guys like the ones aforementioned who just keep calling prepagos there, rejecting them, and calling more? Most girls take a cancellation fee, and if you just keep messing around and wasting their time the pimps may show up to get their fee. Sounds like a nightmare for landlords having those types of people hanging around a building. That's what love motels are for. You don't shit where you eat.

robi666 says on Jan 29, 2008, 16:27:

People do not realize those girls have got friends and talk too much.
I know of two cases of guys been robbed gun at hand this way in El Rodadero last year. One is american, the other Colombian.

Enrique187 says on Jan 29, 2008, 16:38:

THey should also know that many of the prepagos have narco boyfriends/pimps and work as an extension of them. It's no better than having a burglar in your apartment.

robi666 says on Jan 29, 2008, 16:44:

That's the friends I was talking about, but I would say more (ex)paras and people used to do "vueltas raras" than narcos.

Yeah I meant thug types and criminals in general, not necessarily dealers.

arthur brode says on Jan 29, 2008, 16:46:

thats why i ask for a nice big security deposit and get a photocopy of their passport.you never know whats going to happen.

arthur brode says on Jan 29, 2008, 17:11:

but so far i havent had any problems with the "tourist".(thank god)

unless you want to count the time a couple years ago when this client of mine ejaculated all over a bedspread and never washed it before leaving.so the owner of the apartment made me pay the 20,000 pesos it cost to wash the bedspread:(

robi666 says on Jan 29, 2008, 17:12:

At least you did not have to wash it yourself...

droble77 says on Jan 29, 2008, 17:28:

LOL, that's a case of TMI Arthur.

Yeah, if you're getting into the apt. rental biz, try to set it up like a kindergartener is renting it. ;) Best to not furnish with expensive breakable stuff and lots of knick knacks. And the bedspreads should be the basic or love motel kind, nothing fancy. :0))
