We have been browsing fora place since we arrived here 10 days ago. We found a nice place in San Isidro Centro for ARS5900/month + exp. We made a written proposal this morning for ARS5800 + exp, with a 25% adjustment for the second year (ARS7520) and gave a ARS3000 deposit.
The real estate agency called back later today to inform us that the owner is now requesting a 15% raise every 6 months to keep up with the skyrocketing inflation rate, instead of a yearly +25% as per their initial request.
We are feeling we are being exploited because we make our income from abroad (we had to explain this because we don't have yet a demonstrable income in Argentina) and we earn dollars/euros.
Is this the norm or is our feeling correct? We didn't come here to be milked off, but to lead a better life compared to where we come from.
Should we assume that the exchange rate will be varying accordingly?
