A GUIDE TO BUY REAL ESTATE IN BUENOS AIRES
TEMPORARY RENTALS
Even though the initial investment in properties for temporary rentals is higher, monthly income is far superior. However, temporary rentals require an active participation of the property owner, since tenants come and go constantly. This is the reason why it is recommended to hire a real-estate agency specialized in temporary rentals, particularly if the owner lives abroad.

The maximum term for a temporary rental is 6 months. If the tenant decides to stay longer, a new agreement must be signed.
Since foreigners come to Buenos Aires for tourism or business reasons, they know nobody to act as a guarantor. Therefore, the rent must be paid in advance together with a security deposit that will be retained to cover possible damages until the tenant leaves the property.
As opposed to 24-month or 36-month rentals, in the case of temporary rentals, the property owner is the sole responsible for paying the building maintenance fees and costs for services consumed (gas, electricity, water, etc.). Therefore, the property owner should consider this when he calculates the approximate monthly income resulting from temporary rentals.
To offer a property for temporary rental, it is a necessary condition that the apartment be furnished. The owner should furnish the apartment with chairs and beds for each tenant, a table, a coach, towels and lines, pillows, a dinner set, cooking utensils, a refrigerator, an oven, a microwave oven, cable TV, air-conditioning, Internet, telephone line, DVD player, etc. to offer comfort and increase the rent. Including maid services is also recommended.
