What documents are needed to rent an apartment or house in Punta Cana?

Typically you will need a valid ID, agreed lease terms, and a signed rental agreement. The owner provides proof of ownership (or right of use) and basic property details. We make sure the paperwork is clear and compliant.

Is a lease required, and does it need to be notarized?

A written lease is strongly recommended for legal protection. Notarization is not always required, but it can be useful in certain situations. The key is that the lease clearly defines term length, rent, deposit, and responsibilities.

How much is the security deposit?

Most leases require a deposit equal to one month of rent, though it can vary based on the property, furnishings, and lease duration.

Who pays utilities and maintenance during the lease?

In most cases the tenant covers monthly utilities (electricity, water, internet, etc.). The owner typically handles property taxes and major repairs unless the lease states otherwise.

How do I find a reliable tenant or a safe rental property in Punta Cana?

We recommend identity checks, clear lease terms, and a documented move-in condition report. Ocean MG helps screen candidates, coordinate showings, and protect both parties throughout the process.

Can Ocean MG help lease commercial spaces in Punta Cana?

Yes. We broker leases for commercial spaces including retail units, offices, and garages, and assist with negotiations and lease documentation.
