Alquilar en Argentina

Partially verified Última verificación June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

Renting in Argentina splits into two very different worlds: traditional long-term unfurnished leases (usually in pesos and typically requiring a local property-owning guarantor) and furnished "alquiler temporario" rentals aimed at foreigners and remote workers, which are easier to arrange but cost more. Since the December 2023 DNU 70/2023 deregulation, lease duration, deposit, payment currency and rent-adjustment terms are all freely negotiated between the parties rather than fixed by law.

Comisión de agencia: In the City of Buenos Aires (CABA), Law 5859 (in force since 2017) prohibits charging the rental-agency commission to residential tenants who are individuals — the landlord pays it (capped at 4.15% of the total contract) — so tenants pay nothing. Outside CABA tenants commonly pay the broker fee, typically around one month's rent. Furnished temporary rentals booked through expat-focused agencies usually bundle any fee into the price.

Tus derechos como inquilino

After DNU 70/2023 repealed the 2020 rental law (Law 27551), leases revert to the Civil and Commercial Code with broad contractual freedom: term, deposit amount/currency and the rent-adjustment index are negotiated, not capped. Tenants retain Code protections, including the right to terminate early after six months with notice (paying a penalty of 1.5 months' rent in the first year, otherwise one month — art. 1221), urgent-repair remedies, and a presumed 2-year term for residential leases when none is stated.

Conviene saber

  • Furnished, flexible monthly rentals are widely available in Buenos Aires and usually skip the local-guarantor requirement, making them the easiest path for newcomers
  • In Buenos Aires City the landlord pays the agency commission by law (Ley 5859), so residential tenants face no broker fee there
  • Post-2023 deregulation lets parties agree terms freely, including paying rent in US dollars, which many expat-oriented furnished rentals do
  • Strong, mature short/mid-term market with established expat-focused agencies and large online portals (Zonaprop, Argenprop)

A tener en cuenta

  • Traditional long-term unfurnished leases typically demand a 'garantia' (a property-owning local guarantor or a paid guarantee service), which is hard for newcomers to provide
  • Furnished temporary rentals command a sizeable premium over local long-term peso rents and are often priced in USD
  • With deposit, currency and rent-adjustment indexation now freely negotiated rather than capped by law, read the contract carefully and confirm the adjustment mechanism before signing
  • Online listings and informal 'temporary' deals attract scams; verify the property and never pay before viewing or using a reputable agency
