Background

Todos Somos Anfitriones is a Mexico City host collective representing short-term-rental operators. It tracks actual take-up of the city's mandatory short-let registry, distinct from the official counts published by the registry itself .

The collective reads a growing count of listed active properties as evidence of the size of the non-compliant population, in contrast with the city registry office, which points to the same count as engagement. That disagreement over interpretation, rather than over the raw numbers, is the collective's main current role in Mexico City's short-let debate.

Key Issues
Registry compliance

Registration lags far behind estimates

Todos Somos Anfitriones estimates fewer than 5 per cent of an estimated 27,000-plus active short-let properties in Mexico City had completed the mandatory registry by late June 2026 .

For the collective, this figure directly rebuts a reading, including Lowdown's own 18 July account, that treated the 27,000-plus registered-property count as near-total compliance rather than as an estimate of the total active market; that earlier reading has since been corrected on the record. The collective's own tracking makes it the primary check on how the registry's headline numbers should be interpreted.

Did Mexico City really reach 90 per cent short-let registration?
No. An earlier reading of 27,000 registrations against a 30,000-plus estimate as near-90-per-cent take-up was a misreading: those figures are the city's own estimate of the total active-property universe, not completed registrations, which stood under 5 per cent by late June 2026.Source: Todos Somos Anfitriones
How many Mexico City hosts have registered short-term rentals?
