Renting: 2026 rules
Checked: 2026-09-27
Rent Law 27.551 was repealed (DNU 70/2023). The Civil Code now applies: term, currency (including USD), index and adjustment frequency are freely agreed.
If the contract sets no term, a residential lease counts as 2 years.
You can leave early at any time by paying 10% of the rent remaining until the end of the contract.
Check: term, currency, index and how often rent rises, who pays expensas and repairs, and how the deposit is returned.
Don’t transfer money before viewing the flat and verifying the owner; in CABA only a CUCICBA-licensed broker may charge commission.
