Buenos Aires Rental Listings Top 21,000 as ICL Adjustments Fall to Four-Year Low

Flexible two-year contracts have given landlords more leverage with rent growth slowing to its lowest in over three years

Overview

  • CABA rental listings climbed from about 19,000 to over 21,000 between June and July 2025 after repeal of the 2020 law
  • The Central Bank’s rental contract index for legacy leases dropped to 55.67% in August, marking its weakest annual adjustment in 40 months
  • Annual rent increases in Buenos Aires slowed to 21.5% year-to-date, down sharply from 39% in the same period of 2024
  • New privately negotiated leases now typically span 24 months with quarterly, four-month or semiannual price adjustments and stricter exit requirements
  • Tenant search times have stretched to two to three months and Buenos Aires remains the country’s most expensive rental market while Rosario offers the cheapest two-bedroom rents
