What Is a Tenant Eviction Court Filing Mexico (Demanda de Desahucio por Arrendamiento)?

A Tenant Eviction Court Filing (Demanda de Desahucio por Arrendamiento) in Mexico is a formal judicial pleading by which a landlord (arrendador) initiates legal proceedings before a competent civil court (Juzgado Civil) to recover possession of a leased property from a tenant (arrendatario) who has failed to comply with the lease contract or has remained in the property beyond the agreed term. The substantive legal framework governing residential and commercial leases in Mexico is the Código Civil Federal (CCF) for federal jurisdiction and Ciudad de México, specifically Articles 2478 through 2490, which regulate the arrendador's right to demand termination and recovery of the leased property (rescisión del arrendamiento y entrega del inmueble).

Article 2478 of the CCF establishes the landlord's right to demand judicial rescission of the lease contract and recovery of the property when the tenant: (a) fails to pay rent on the agreed date and after 30 days following a written demand (requerimiento de pago); (b) uses the property for purposes other than those agreed in the lease without authorization; (c) sublets the property without the landlord's written consent; (d) causes property damage exceeding normal wear and tear; or (e) violates any material condition of the lease agreement. Articles 2479 through 2490 CCF govern the specific procedures for lease termination notices (aviso de rescisión), the tenant's rights to cure (derecho de pago), and the landlord's procedural obligations.

The procedural framework for eviction litigation is the Código Nacional de Procedimientos Civiles y Familiares (CNCPF), published in the DOF on 7 June 2023, which establishes a unified oral civil procedure applicable to lease disputes across Mexico. The CNCPF introduced specialized provisions for lease disputes, accelerating the formerly slow eviction process — one of the most significant improvements in Mexican property law in decades. Prior to the CNCPF, eviction proceedings (juicios de desahucio) under state procedural codes often lasted 2 to 5 years; under the CNCPF oral procedure, contested evictions can potentially be resolved in 6 to 18 months.

Mexico's 31 states each have their own Código Civil governing leases within state territory. Many states — including Jalisco, Nuevo León, Veracruz, and others — have enacted specific state arrendamiento laws or have Código Civil provisions that differ from the CCF. Mexico City (Ciudad de México) has its own Código Civil for el Distrito Federal (CCDF), which governs residential leases in CDMX and has additional tenant protections and procedural requirements including mandatory conciliation before the Procuraduría Social of CDMX (PROSOC) under the Ley de Arrendamiento Inmobiliario del Distrito Federal before a judicial eviction may be filed.

The demanda de desahucio may be combined with a claim for unpaid rent (cobro de rentas vencidas) and damages in a single proceeding. Under the CNCPF, the landlord must attach all documentary evidence — lease contract, proof of rent payments and arrears, prior demand letters, and proof of the landlord's ownership or right to lease (título de propiedad or arrendamiento primario) — to the initial demanda.

When Do You Need a Tenant Eviction Court Filing Mexico (Demanda de Desahucio por Arrendamiento)?

A Tenant Eviction Court Filing (Demanda de Desahucio) in Mexico under CCF arts. 2478–2490 is needed when a landlord must resort to judicial means to recover possession of their property because extrajudicial measures have failed. Self-help eviction — changing locks, removing the tenant's belongings, or cutting utilities — is illegal in Mexico under CCF art. 2431 and the applicable state codes and may expose the landlord to civil and criminal liability for privación ilegal de la posesión and daños morales.

The eviction demanda is needed for non-payment of rent: when a residential or commercial tenant has failed to pay rent for one or more months and has not cured the default within 30 days of a written requerimiento de pago (payment demand letter) sent by the landlord, the landlord may file for judicial rescission of the lease and eviction under CCF art. 2478 fraction I. The demanda must include evidence of the unpaid rent amounts and the prior written demand.

The filing is needed when a lease has expired and the tenant refuses to vacate: under CCF art. 2490, when a fixed-term lease expires and the tenant continues to occupy the property without the landlord's consent (holdover tenancy — tácita reconducción), the landlord must file a desahucio to recover possession if the tenant refuses to leave voluntarily. Article 2487 CCF provides the landlord with this right upon lease expiry after giving proper notice.

The demanda is needed when a tenant has violated material lease conditions — using residential property for commercial purposes, subletting without consent under CCF art. 2480, or causing significant property damage — after the landlord has provided written notice of the violation and the tenant has not cured within the time allowed by the lease or the law.

In Mexico City specifically, the filing is needed after mandatory prior conciliation before the Procuraduría Social (PROSOC) under the Ley de Arrendamiento Inmobiliario del DF — the court will not admit a desahucio demanda in CDMX without a PROSOC constancia de no acuerdo (certificate of failed conciliation). Other states may have similar pre-judicial requirements through their state justice centers (Centros de Justicia Alternativa).

The demanda is also needed when the landlord wishes to recover possession to occupy the property themselves or for a first-degree family member: under certain state codes, the landlord may terminate and evict with proper notice for owner-occupancy, but if the tenant contests this, judicial proceedings are required to enforce the recovery. La Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación y los Tribunales Colegiados de Circuito han emitido tesis jurisprudenciales sobre la interpretación de este tipo de documento. El Registro Público de la Propiedad y de Comercio inscribe actos que afectan derechos reales. La Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO) y la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV) supervisan aspectos complementarios.

What to Include in Your Tenant Eviction Court Filing Mexico (Demanda de Desahucio por Arrendamiento)

A valid Tenant Eviction Court Filing (Demanda de Desahucio por Arrendamiento) in Mexico under CCF arts. 2478–2490 and the CNCPF must contain the following essential elements for the court to admit the pleading and proceed with the eviction action.

Court Designation and Jurisdiction: Identification of the Juzgado Civil with subject-matter jurisdiction (materia civil — arrendamiento) and territorial jurisdiction over the property's location under CNCPF art. 26, which for real property disputes establishes jurisdiction at the location of the property. The court level (juzgado menor, juzgado civil, or juzgado de cuantía mayor) depends on the monthly rent amount and the applicable state judicial organization law (Ley Orgánica del Poder Judicial).

Identification of the Landlord (Demandante): Full legal name, RFC or CURP, domicile for notifications (domicilio para oír y recibir notificaciones), and proof of the landlord's legal title to the property or right to lease — typically the escritura pública de propiedad registered in the Registro Público de la Propiedad (RPP), a certified RPP extract (certificado de libertad de gravamen and copia certificada del folio real), or the primary lease agreement if the plaintiff is a sub-lessor. The landlord's RFC must match the property registered in the SAT's CFDI system if CFDIs were issued for rent payments.

Identification of the Tenant (Demandado): Full legal name (as it appears on the lease contract), last known address (typically the leased property itself), and any other identification data available. If the tenant is a legal entity (empresa arrendataria), the corporate RFC, corporate type, and name of the legal representative must be identified.

Lease Contract Details: Reference to the specific lease contract (contrato de arrendamiento) — the instrument number, date of execution, leased property description (dirección completa, medidas y colindancias, and folio real in the RPP), the agreed monthly rent (renta mensual pactada) in MXN, and the lease term (término del arrendamiento). A copy of the lease contract must be attached to the demanda as documentary evidence under CNCPF art. 311.

Statement of Grounds for Eviction: Precise statement of the legal and factual basis for the eviction under CCF art. 2478. For non-payment: the months of unpaid rent (mensualidades vencidas e impagas), the total debt amount, and evidence of the prior payment demand (requerimiento de pago) — demand letter with proof of delivery or notarial demand (requerimiento notarial). For lease expiry: the expiry date of the fixed term and evidence that the tenant was notified and refused to vacate. For lease violation: the specific violation, the notice given, and the tenant's failure to cure.

Relief Sought (Prestaciones Reclamadas): The eviction demanda must specify: (a) judicial rescission of the lease contract (rescisión del contrato de arrendamiento); (b) immediate delivery of the property (entrega inmediata del inmueble) in the condition stipulated in the lease; (c) recovery of unpaid rent (rentas vencidas) from the date of default to the date of judicial delivery; (d) damages for property deterioration exceeding normal wear; and (e) court costs (gastos y costas procesales) under CNCPF art. 140.

Precautionary Measures: The landlord may request as a precautionary measure (medida cautelar) an inventory and inspection (inspección judicial) of the property's current condition to document any damage, and in exceptional cases of urgent property damage, a preventive order restricting alterations to the property.
