“There are around 70,000 short-term rentals listed in Buenos Aires,” Gervasio Muñoz, president of the National Federation of Tenants, told the Herald.

Like in many other cities, temporary rentals - destined for tourists, digital nomads, workers, students and affluent locals through websites like Airbnb and - are changing the real estate market and making it increasingly difficult for locals to find an apartment in Buenos Aires. Speaking from an apartment he had to find in just days, Morán knows he is not alone. Morán, for example, signed two six-month contracts until his landlord decided to kick him out with almost no warning. This type of contract is less regulated and has more flexible conditions for owners than the three-year contracts established by the Rental Law. Landlords are increasingly renting furnished apartments on short-term contracts to locals and visitors alike. “I was paying AR$60,000 with utilities included.” “They are currently renting it out for three months to a Spanish man who pays US$800 a month,” Morán told the Herald. It does not store any personal data.When Franco Morán, 27, called to renew the contract for the studio apartment in San Telmo he had been renting for a year, his realtor told him he had less than a month to vacate it: the landlord had decided to put it on accommodation site, and was getting a lot of interest.
