    Transferring funds to buy apartment

    You could always choose an Escribano from the City of Buenos Aires, that are a lot more trustworthy! The Escribanos from the Province of Buenos Aires, aren't controlled and tend to be corrupt. Anyway you don't need to trust the Escribano with money, you just have to set up that the day the...

    Landlord Requiring $US, won't accept $AR

    An "apto profesional" would be easier, but once again, the court in the lead case, ruled that the city of bs.as. isn't a tourist destination. Anyway it doesn't make much of a difference, if you're the tenant, you can always extend your stay to two years. :D:cool:

    Landlord Requiring $US, won't accept $AR

    It's a gamble... I represented a client a CEO of an OIL COMPANY, that rented a house as a temp, and I got it converted into a full 2 year contract... It's not really my specialty in law, but I wouldn't do it. You are free to do whatever you want. And HOPEFULLY you'll never have that sort of...

    From the transcripts of congress, it's clear that the intention of defining "vacation zone or area" is for "vacation areas" the city of buenos aires, is considered the "federal capital" and not a "vacation area". Also many of the apts. bylaws (with application of law 13512) say that temporary...

    Landlord Requiring $US, won't accept $AR

    I suggest you read the jurisprudence on art. 2. Since it clearly says: "Las locaciones de viviendas con muebles que se arrienden con fines de turismo, en zonas aptas para ese destino". All courts of the city of Buenos Aires consider that "zonas aptas" refer to vacation areas. And the city of Bs...
