Small Hosts in Mexico City Submit Plan to Morena Seeking Exemption From 50% Nights Limit

Morena lawmakers say they will review the small-host proposal as the 182-day restriction from the 2024 tourism reform remains in force.

Overview

  • Representatives of Vecinos y Anfitriones de Plataformas de Alquiler de Corta Estancia delivered their document to Morena vicecoordinator Brenda Ruiz Aguilar, with deputy Iliana Sánchez Chávez also receiving it at a press event.
  • The proposal asks to remove the 182‑day cap for owners of one to three properties and to impose sanctions on large real‑estate actors alleged to operate buildings as clandestine hotels.
  • It calls for mandatory safety standards coordinated with SGIRPC/Protección Civil, requiring smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and clear emergency protocols for earthquakes, floods and fires.
  • The plan seeks to earmark 1.5% of the lodging tax for neighborhood MIPYMES and to promote local commerce, a good‑neighbor guide for guests and programs to preserve cultural identity.
  • Morena deputies pledged to review the text, while hosts say the activity supports 12,000 families, generates 22 billion pesos annually and sustains about 63,000 jobs, representing a small share of city housing.
