Bodega (Storage Unit)boh-DAY-gah
A bodega is a private storage room or locker, often assigned or sold with a condominium unit in Mexico. Under Quintana Roo's condominium law, a bodega may be titled as part of the unit's exclusive property or as a common area with exclusive-use rights assigned in the escritura constitutiva.

How it works
In Quintana Roo condominiums, a bodega may be owned outright as part of the buyer's exclusive property unit or held in common ownership with exclusive use assigned to one unit. The escritura constitutiva (condominium charter) and reglamento interno specify which units have assigned storage, whether the bodega is included in the purchase price, and whether it may be sold separately. A buyer should confirm in the deed that the bodega listed in the property description is legally tied to the unit; some developments sell storage separately or omit it entirely. Like parking spaces, bodegas in common areas remain co-owned by all unit holders but with use restricted to the assigned owner. Resale deeds must reference the original escritura to confirm the bodega assignment remains valid.
