A contract is not a constitution in that it allows for little to no ambiguity if properly written. As I've previously mentioned, combining trust between the renter and the owner with the utmost clarity in the contract, and ensuring all parties fulfill their obligations, significantly reduces...

I don't like the idea of buying into anything that has to do with an association, but why buy now? It's probably not an ideal time to buy.

Trust and clarity are both necessary...

Trust with a property owner will lead to a good renting experience. It’s great you’ve never encountered issues with owners having a key and respecting your privacy. I have not either. However, while trust is an important component of any rental agreement, explicitly detailing rights and...

This is completely illogical. The contract must specify all permissible and prohibited actions. If the owner intends to retain a key, this detail needs to be clearly included in the contract. In the event that the property owner and renter cannot reach an agreement, the owner should refrain from...

It's not acceptable for the owner to have a set of keys in my eyes. I would never agree to allow the owner to come unannounced, and certainly not frequently. I will however allow the owner to do an inspection of the place every so often, say every two years. My door has 3 locks. When I am on...

Agreed. I think I won't be registering either.

I think a possible solution could be to pay the rent in its entirety for 1 year or at least for 6 months if you can. That may help you negotiate the price down, and maybe alleviate any concern the property owner may have about your abilities to pay.

Market forces at work. This is what we were looking for.

Wow that is a great price. I am not paying that for mine, but that's a good price. Someone will definitely grab that. I am about to close on a new contract on mine, for 1 year, with an option to renew for up to two more years.

He made it clear that he believes the current administration will worsen matters, acknowledging that things were already challenging under the previous administration. How is that a complaint? It's merely an opinion. I ask this because I've noticed a significant number of Milei supporters get...

I never said it was something new. Maybe I should have made clear that the situation was indeed exacerbated.... with the promise that things will get better. We shall see.

Many people have dropped their health coverage, and there have also been cutbacks in food, both in quality and quantity. These are significant issues that are currently happening... People are cutting back on many things, but I would say these are the most important because they are health related.

I suppose it's true for some, but definitely not for all that's for sure. The people that I was referencing don't have a car, (I don't either) or netflix, and they have had to make some real sacrifices to make ends meet.

I've significantly reduced my frequency of eating out compared to before. Previously, it was several times a week, but now it's down to once or twice a month. I've cut out all unnecessary spending. My sneakers have holes, and I'm debating whether to buy new ones or not, lol. Some of my friends...
