    'expensas' Listed On Real Estate Websites

    You will probably have to ask for each one, but it's likely just the building expenses, it covers the main building and whatever they have, portero, cleaning, minor repairs/replacements, heat, some water, are usually included. It's a monthly cost and it increases annually based on inflation and...

    Where To Sell Fashion Shoes?

    You probably won't get a lot if you do consignment, they tend to take a hefty commission. If you're not in a hurry just post them in expat classifieds here, facebook, craigslist, you'll probably get more interested parties that way and there's no cost to you.

    Eye Exams: Places And Prices

    I went to the eye center in Recoleta a year ago, just for an eye exam and it was only $300 at the time, I didn't need more than the doctor to fill out a form certifying my vision, he didn't speak much English but I was able to translate for him what he needed to know..

    Air Conditioning Install

    If it's a brand new install it's going to cost more, they have to set up more stuff, a place for the outside unit to sit on and put the unit and tubes into the walls. We had one replaced this year and paid I think 2500 for that install/removal of the old unit, but they didn't have to do any of...

    Time For Another Dollars Pesos Post!

    If you search on facebook or twitter there are accounts that update the dollar blue rates regularly that you can follow. I believe credit cards pay the exchange as the current bank rate, plus whatever international fees the card itself charges. As for bills 100's will always get the best...

    Time Share Issue

    He needs to read the contract, it should state how to break/cancel it. If he just stops paying he might have issues trying to visit the US. Most contracts lay out which laws apply and where any law suits must be filed.

    Bad Smell In The Apartment

    I have heard of coffee grounds used for absorbing odor but I have never heard of instant coffee powder as one, they're not really the same type of product, you might want to switch or add more baking soda to be sure it's effective.

    Bad Smell In The Apartment

    Another thing you could try, is having the main kitchen drain professionally snaked, if it's not that clear the smell from the stuff washed down it could be just sitting there.

    Rent Contract Rescission - Is A Penalty Always Included?

    If you are the one terminating the contract early it's common in all types of contracts to have some penalty. You can attempt to negotiate it but you are at a disadvantage as you already agreed to it.

    American Breakfast

    Magdalena's Party lists pancakes with maple syrup as a brunch item on their website but never tried it so no clue if they still have it or if it's good. They have expat owners so you could ask. Best bet is to make your own though. You can usually find maple syrup, either at Reale in Recoleta...

    Flagged By Immigration, Now What?

    Since he didn't say that, it's still unclear. Lots of people get verbal thrashings but ultimately no written anything. Not sure why asking for specifics is primitive...seems pretty normal to me.

    Student Visa For Studying Spanish-Residencia Temporaria?

    Where did you see that you get a student visa by studying Spanish as a foreigner? You can only get a student visa by doing a degree program and you must show that you are taking classes every year in order to renew the visa. Also I'm pretty sure you can't work on a student visa.
