Can a garantia on a residential lease be avoided by paying a year or the entire lease in advance?

Those are lovely. One thing I'm afraid that I will miss upon moving from Atlanta is the astonishing variety and quantity of authentic Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indian and Vietnamese restaurants we have. Searching them out in the northern suburbs has been one of my hobbies the last 30 years or so. I...

I'm just an old Georgia lawyer and don't know squat about Argentine landlord/tenant law, but as a world wide universal rule it's far better to read the contract before you sign it and may have some opportunity to change the terms rather than when you are trying to get out of it. I am not saying...

Tom, I found the Pelcman web site and will get in touch. Thanks to you both.

I'm so glad I don't have to join every pissing match that pops up here. I am fascinated, however, by the Argentines' love/hate attitude about Britain and all things British.

Thank you, Serafina. What I need is a Spanish teacher. Mi ingles be muy bien.

I went shopping at the Gainesville, GA Wal*Mart last night and bought a pack of Okra seeds. I will be traveling to BA for the month of October. Who wants the Okra seeds? I would think that would be about the right time to plant them.
