What upfront deposits are required to rent a house or apartment in Belize?

Securing a residential rental in Belize typically requires the first month’s rent and a refundable security deposit equal to one month’s rent upon signing the lease agreement. If pets are permitted, an additional refundable pet deposit may be requested by the landlord.

Are utilities included in Belize rental prices?

For unfurnished and single-family houses, utilities (electricity via Belize Electricity Limited / BEL, municipal water via Belize Water Services / BWS, high-speed fiber internet, and cooking gas) are generally paid directly by the tenant. Some fully furnished apartments include water and Wi-Fi in the monthly rent, with electricity billed separately based on individual meter consumption.

What currency are rental rates quoted in, and how do payments work?

Rental rates are typically quoted in US Dollars (USD) or Belize Dollars (BZD). The Belize Dollar is officially pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of $2 BZD = $1 USD. Rent payments can be made in BZD or USD through local bank transfers (such as Atlantic Bank or Belize Bank) or international wire transfer.
