How to find an apartment in BA?

[jantango]

Tango friends from Colon, Germany, are here for only 13 days during their spring vacation. They were charged 60Euro per day for an Airbnb apartment on Suipacha 900.

Assuming the apartment is up to code, clean, professional host, etc that's actually a good deal right now in BA. Things are slightly better in other cities but not much.

Non property living expenses like electricity, food, gas, etc are so ridiculously low in Argentina right now a lot of these property owners just don't need money. They'd prefer to scam people a few times p/yr with outrageous airbnb prices, or wait for the government to announce a new previaje, than work an honest listing.

Yeah, no lie. That's like 5x what I can afford.

But avoid Patricia Teodolini like the plague. She's an agent for absentee owners, advertises a bunch of apartments every month, and seems OK up front, but massively bipolar and very unpleasant to deal with once you move into one of her units. She will also try to milk you for as much money as she possibly can, and push the cost of repairs off onto you, given even the thinnest of excuses.

LOL

Today's article (in Spanish) regarding rental $$.
So 2 deposits are required one advance,one security + commissions...seems to be the norm in pesos or dollars.

More like, with the end of the Ley de Alquileres, the rules are unclear, so the dirtbag real estate vultures are ripping you off as hard and rude as they can get away with.

AS a general example of how crazy the market is, look at this. It's 80m2 yes, but 330K in FLORES? It doesn't even have a terrace, just a little balcony, and those salmon-colored walls, with that purple bedspread. Nice kitchen, though. But 330K?!?

Looking at this example, I would consider a monthly rent in Airbnb the far better option. On top of that, you have (more) reliable reviews, better options / transparency and you don't have to deal with real estate agents.
(I know that doesn't go well here with the Airbnb haters here; but probably the days where you could rent something nice for 300 bucks a month in CABA are over)

Blame our Russian friends

Can’t wait to see how much my rent will go up by at the end of the year.
