Todos Somos Anfitriones
A Mexico City host collective representing short-term rental operators, which estimates actual registry take-up.
Todos Somos Anfitriones puts completed short-let registrations in Mexico City below 5% of roughly 27,000 active lets, a count that framed the city's decision, reported on 19 August 2026, to push its host deadline from 20 June to the end of 2026.

Nomads & Communities: Mexico City probes despojo short letsBackground
Todos Somos Anfitriones is a Mexico City collective of short-term rental hosts. It speaks for operators who let homes and rooms through platforms, and it has become the main outside counter of how far the city's host registry actually reaches.
Its figures differ from the official ones in interpretation more than in raw numbers. The collective treats a completed registration as the test of compliance and puts take-up below 5% of roughly 27,000 active lets. The city registry office points to the growing count of listed properties as evidence that hosts are engaging.
That disagreement gives the collective a standing role in Mexico City's short-let rules. On 30 September 2026 the city formalised separate registers for hosts and platforms, which will produce a fresh official count for the collective to test against its own estimates.
Its count puts registration under 5%
The collective's estimate, published by 27 July 2026, held that fewer than 5% of about 27,000 active short lets had completed Mexico City's mandatory registration. The city reads its growing database as engagement; the collective reads the same entries as a measure of how many hosts remain outside the system.
The city then moved the deadline. Expansión Política reported on 19 August that registration would run to the end of 2026 instead of closing on 20 June, with about 27,000 database entries logged against a property base above 30,000. By then more than 400 host lawsuits had suspended the separate 183-night cap, so the collective's members faced a looser regime than the one they had campaigned against.
