Prices of apartments for rent published on real estate portals registered a sharp slowdown for the fifth consecutive month

Rental prices for properties located in the City of Buenos Aires registered a slight increase in the publication value, 2.2 % in the month of June , registering a strong deceleration for the fifth consecutive month after increasing 21% in January and 18.6% in December, according to the index published every month by Zonaprop .

This phenomenon occurs in a context marked by the validity of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) promoted by President Javier Milei in December, a set of measures that marked a radical change in the regulation in the real estate market due to the repeal of the rental law , and which is currently under discussion.

In turn, the rental offer has accumulated an increase of 192% so far this year . “After reaching historic lows in February 2023, new increases in the supply of apartments for rent are recorded, especially from December 2023 onwards,” says Leandro Molina, director of the real estate portal .

New rental contracts have accumulated a price increase of 184.2% in the last 12 months , advancing below inflation ( 276.4 %, taking the latest data from May) and above the ICL adjustment (241.7%). The latter is the index by which the contracts signed under the law repealed by the DNU in June were adjusted annually.

The repeal of the rental law (27,551), approved in July 2020 and subsequently modified in October 2023, allowed that from now on, freedom between the parties prevails in the negotiation of crucial points in rental contracts. The key for both parties, landlords and tenants, is to reach written agreements on these points, as well as any other relevant aspects, in order to prevent possible conflicts in the future.

Lugano and La Boca remain the best neighborhoods for investors looking for income , with an average return of 6.8% and 5.9%, respectively.
