Everyone does see things through different eyes. We stayed there a few years ago and really liked it. The cabins looked rustic from the outside, but
the inside looked like something out of a Bogart movie. We enjoyed our stay.
Sorry to hear there may be problems

big deal
1. his land.
2. his business.
3. his country.
4. their rules.
5. their money.
6. success or lack thereof rides solely with him.

Let us see. More problems in Mulege.
People are paying rent for houses on the beach.
They make the deal and pay.
Later during the lease the landlord raises the rent.
He tells them if they do not want to pay they can leave.
They then lose their investment.
The landlord reaps the profits.
If the landlord does not like you he burns your place down.
The landlord has rifles and fires them all the time to scare the renters and keep them quiet while he kills animals.
The landlord is taking sand from the desert to extend his property into the ocean thus getting more beachfrontage to rent.
Is there anything normal down there? |

I cannot agree with your item 4. What Naranjo is doing is illegal in Mexico too. You can bet your last peso he would not try that on a Mexican. He is
an opportunist who does it because he can get away with it.

you're right. let me clarify - i meant they - as in his. not Mexico's.
clearly he makes his own rules. the problem lies in the fact that the local constabulary likely could care less. especially since it it affects
expats.

Can the renters fight back?
You guys seen to think this is ok just because they are in mexico.

Paradise
I have friends who have places in Naranjos. They put up with their landlord's eccentricities because they enjoy living in 'paradise'. They understand
that they don't have a legal lease and can be 'on the street' at a moments notice. None seem to mind.
If it's OK with them, it's OK by me.
Sorry for your misfortune but this could have been avoided by practicing due diligence.
You live and learn.

I do not think it is ok. It is reality that it could happen to anyone and there is not much you can do. It is Mexico. My family has "owned" a place on
the beach for 49 years. Started with a 99 year lease. That got torn up. Then it was a lease that was one day short of 10 years. That got torn up. Then
we were paying yearly for a while. Since the early 80's we were told to pay every six months because it was not clear if we would be able to stay at
all. The nature of the beast taught us to treasure each and every day in paradise that we spend down there. In 1983 the storms of El Nino washed a few
of our neighbors homes into the ocean and we thought that may be our fate. The last few years with the orgy of development on the coast we were very
close to being "Santini-ized" but we are still enjoying it all while we can.
As for being able to do much about it, I doubt it especially if you are a gringo. Over the years our campo naively spent a lot of money on chitty
lawyers who told us they could help us protect our "rights" by forming an HOA and appllying for concessions that we later found out could only be
achieved if the constitution of the country was changed.
Life is short, enjoy it while you can.

Well, I hope Janey1948, a newby, hasn't been scared off of the Bajanomad.
If someone gets a raw deal anywhere in the world, I think it is the responsible thing to do to post a warning so that others don't make the same
mistake.
Baja is full of opportunists as is The United States. Times are getting tougher and more people than ever are trying to figure out how to part you
from your money.
While some people can exist in the same development (Naranjo's) without a problem, others may have a very different experience. If Naranjo is indeed
cheating people, then a warning to others is probably the only recourse. If I were to relocate off of the river, Naranjo's is a place I would be wary
of. A pattern is emerging and I am grateful for the tip off.

Did you learn this phrase from the fireman? This would be a good topic while solving life's problems on the patio of our favorite bar...which I

On a serious note...
Nice post, head on about living, vacationing or temporarily relocating in Baja...you have once again nailed it! Say hello to the gorgeous one of the

This is one instance where orgy is a bad thing. hee hee.
We were talking about the 1000 coming up and recalled that relaxing afternoon we spent with you and the crew at your "office". Can't wait for the next
oppurtunity to do it again!
Best to you and yours!

It looks like Naranjps is a crook.
He takes money for a lease then wants more.
I would avoid renting there
