CONCLUSIÓN | CONCLUSION |
La reforma equilibra la relación arrendador–arrendatario en vivienda urbana: limita depósitos, obliga recibos, acota incrementos y fija una duración base con prórroga. Quienes arriendan inmuebles en Nuevo León deben actualizar contratos y procesos internos para evitar controversias por pagos o aumentos y prevenir presunciones de pago por falta de recibos. | The reform balances the landlord–tenant relationship in urban housing: it limits deposits, requires receipts, constrains rent increases, and sets a base term with renewal. Parties leasing property in Nuevo León should update agreements and internal processes to avoid disputes over payments or increases and to prevent presumptions of payment arising from missing receipts. |

Each FisherBroyles Member is subject to the laws and regulations of the particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which it operates. Full details of the legal and regulatory status of each FisherBroyles Member are available on the FisherBroyles website. The use of the name FisherBroyles is for description purposes only and does not imply that the Member Firms are in a partnership or are part of an LLP.
The use of the word "partner" on any Member Firm’s website or in any other Member Firm materials refers to a partner or member of a FisherBroyles Member or an employee or consultant with equivalent standing and qualifications. You agree that your relationship is with the Contracting Member and not with another FisherBroyles Member unless otherwise confirmed in writing to you. You also agree that your relationship is not with any individual who is a member, employee, or consultant (including anyone we call a partner) of the Contracting Firm Member, who will therefore assume, to the extent permitted by law, no personal liability to you. Absent the explicit agreement and consent of both entities involved, no FisherBroyles Member is responsible for the acts or omissions of, nor has any authority to obligate or otherwise bind, any other FisherBroyles Member.
