For the second consecutive month, rental listing prices in the northern area of Greater Buenos Aires increased above inflation : 5.1% in September , according to data from the latest Zonaprop report, compared to 4.2% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) announced by INDEC in August (the last data released).

In this way, it is observed that in the third quarter of the year the values of the new contracts rose by 15% and accumulate an increase of 63.3% so far this year: 38.3 percentage points below inflation (94.8%). These agreements are established today due to contractual freedom, following the repeal of the rental law reflected in Javier Milei's DNU on December 29, 2023; while the contracts under it are still in force: those that are updated annually by the Lease Contract Index (ICL) and those that increase every six months by Casa Propia . The latter were closed after the law was updated at the end of October last year.



Regarding the latter, Federico González Rouco, an economist specializing in housing, made reference : “In recent years, up until December, we had contracts that were adjusted every year based on the ICL, which generated the automatic reaction of the owner trying to cover himself and, consequently, inflating the initial prices a lot. Today, the scheme is more consistent with the Argentine economic reality : more periodic updates that mean that this need for coverage, of putting money into uncertainty, is no longer there .”
