Hi all. My rent is up in April. My landlord wants 850,000 pesos with an increase every 3 months based on the consumer price index here (IPC) vivienda.buenosaires.gob.ar/calculadora_alquiler
My other option is to pay upfront 6 months at $850 dollars a month ($5100) in cash.
I transfer money here via WU.
Any opinions on which option would be in my favor?
 
do you have an actual contract? if not, don't pay anything up front or you are asking to get screwed
 
Maybe a simpletons question...isn't Airbnb better? At least while you try a better resolution.
 
Airbnb provides no guarantee. You are renting monthly.
 
I'm not a transient. I have kids and need a stable place to live.
 
Peso increases based on the /calculadora_alquiler seems like an honest deal. Upfront in dollars is an only a benefit to the landlord. Better for you assuming you have access to dollars that you convert to pesos each month.

There is some new data that rental price increases are at a rate less than inflation. The glut of rentals which were brought back to market after the repeal of the rental law Is impacting prices. https://www-cronista-com.translate....res-anos/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en
