High demand and a collapsed supply

Experts attribute strong increases to the fact that the demand for rentals remains firm, compared to a supply of real estate that

collapsed

since the Rental Law 27,551 came into force -in July 2020.

It happens that this norm forced to sign contracts of at least

three years

and with

annual adjustments

in the price that cannot be agreed in advance, but are tied to an index that combines inflation and salaries.

So many owners,

disagreeing

with these impositions, chose to put their units up for sale, pass them on to temporary rental (Airbnb type) or give them other destinations.

And those who stayed in the market did so

strongly emphasizing

the initial value.

"The

low supply

generates higher prices in the market and

low accessibility

to housing," Molina summarized.


In this sense, according to a recent survey of the Statistics and Census entity of the City of Buenos Aires, only in the last year a third of the properties available for rent disappeared.

"As a reference - compared the research -, in

2022

the apartments offered averaged

3,000 units per quarter

, even less than the set available with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the start of Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation".
