As March approaches, rental contracts in Argentina that include scheduled adjustments are facing new increases. The amount of this increase varies depending on the type of rental agreement in place, with three distinct types currently existing under the law. This complexity is crucial for tenants and landlords navigating their contractual obligations.

The first type includes agreements signed under the rental law that was in effect until October 17, 2023, which have annual adjustments tied to the Rental Contracts Index (ICL). In contrast, contracts signed between October 18 and December 29, 2023, follow a new regulation implementing semiannual adjustments based on the 'Casa Propia' program. Lastly, contracts established following the repeal of the previous law on December 29, 2023, are subject to contractual freedom, leading most to adjust based on inflation, measured every three to four months.

The upcoming increases highlight the ongoing challenges in Argentina's rental market, particularly amid inflationary pressures. The different adjustment mechanisms have implications for both renters and landlords, influencing their budgeting and financial planning, and reflecting broader economic conditions in the country as they adapt to new housing regulations.
