Rental contracts: help from an expert

[creyescruz]

Hey, to anyone looking to rent an apartment here, be sure to look out for the term 'dolar informal' on your rental agreement. If you see it there, don't sign and insist they write you a new one. And if you want a local to help you through the process, my spanish teacher Maria, is also an expert in rental contracts. She made sure I was not taken advantage of, even writing 'counter receipts' worded to protect me rather than my landlord and made sure I didn't pay the 'dolar informal' rate they were pressuring me to pay. Message me if you want her contact info.
