Landlords don't accept whatever guarantia. They only accept guarantia from their specific friendly "seguro caución". Wink wink. Think twice before you mess with Argentine professional 2 steps ahead of you. I feel for any expat who has to build a life and make a living in Argentina. TOUGH.

Another crucial issue I learned the hard way: Landlords are very apprehensive of old RETIREES tenants. RED FLAG.🚩 Let alone an old retiree with DNI and no recibo de sueldo and entitled to the legal system. The way I understand it now. I was shocked when they rejected my offer of one full year...

It's brutal right now with Milei. Landlords free to double the rent in Dollars. But they don't rent ,,,,, they don't trust Argentine tenants with the SAME LEGAL SYSTEM. Worst of both worlds.

I send the following to real estate agents. Buscando vista panorámica en cualquier barrio de CABA. Hasta 40 m2 + o - Piso alto más de 25 para arriba + o - El alquiler depende del piso y la vista. Por ejemplo Torre PROMENADE Güemes 3355 Torre VISTA Santa Fe 3770 Torre VIEW Santa Fe 5009 Torre...

Thanks for asking. Looking for my residential apartment. (permanent If possible) For many many many years I rented the same apartment as a tourist. 3 mes, 3 mes, 6 mes, 6 mes, ,,,,, on and on for 14 years same apartment. 2018 the landlord suddenly no renovar más. It has been brutal since...

@Ceviche ,,,, it suddenly occurred to me ,,,,,, now I know exactly what you mean. For the landlord: Canadian + DNI = Argentine (legally) Canadian + passport = foreigner (legally) I missed an excellent opportunity for an exceptional apartment ,,,, but for my future apartment search I will...

Surprise 🙈 After the run around 4 days ,,,, They don't accept 12 month one full year prepaid in advance Cash. Rejected. Amazing ,,, No? And now she doesn't want to re-deposit my reserva into my bank account. She wants me to go personally to sign a paper. She received my depósit through a...

Desperate people will always be controlled by powerful frauds. Mafia

Yes. I did 3 month guarantia several times over the years. Was not a big deal then. Rents just doubled in Dollars since Milei December 2023. Plus a more expensive apartment. Plus 12 month. It's a huge sum. An order of magnitude difference. If I had a crystal ball I should have done this...

Thank youuuuuu. 👍

For a layman it would make sense if the landlord stipulates in the contract that I paid full amount of the contract + gives me a receipt. Legally however I am not a lawyer. I don't know what possibly could go wrong. (The law is a donkey). It's a large sum of money. I'm apprehensive. If the...

Yes. But then I can pay only first and last (not the whole 12 month). Paying the 12 month in advance is to avoid paying third party seguro caución (an additional cost to me)

Eye opener. Never knew. But for the sake of argument ,,, if I had no option but paying cash ,,,,, how to do it safely? I did pay 3 months "garantía" before. It stipulated in the contract. But still was much smaller sum.

I am willing to accommodate his demands (which is very common in Argentina ,,,, as a matter of fact it's the NORME) Argentine landlord is in the driver seat. Never ever ever have I paid rent in Argentina to a bank account.

Sounds good to me. Only issue is how do I make sure such large sum of cash changes hands safely? (Directly into landlord's hands ,,, no bank deposit ,,, no trace)

Would that eliminate the need for "guarantia" or paying a third party "seguro caución"? How does this work? What to watch out for?

@Steve Fascinating provocative daring stubborn headed tenacious life style and not for the fainted heart thinking.

@ulvi Did you finally manage to set up your account in Argentina? Are you buying BTC now?

It is illegal for Russia to prevent Ukraine from installing NATO military on the Ukraine side of the border. In their own sovereign country Ukraine should be able to do whatever they please. Thrilled someone agrees with my post.

Perdón perdón.:D
