If it comes unfurnished: furnishing it costs ≈ US$ 1,983. An estimate, not a payment: we use it to compare furnished and unfurnished listings on equal terms.

The listing agency works for the owner, yet by market practice the tenant pays its commission: the agency controls access to the apartment, so the fee works like a toll. On long-term CABA leases, Ley 5859 assigns this commission to the owner; where a listing charges the tenant anyway, we show what you would actually pay.

Costs are estimates. Actual terms depend on negotiation with landlord/agent. Unitrank receives no part of any of these charges. · Calculated for a stay of 12 months

Property-owner guarantor or caución insurance accepted.

Ask the Scout to arrange a viewing

Asking and viewing cost nothing.

No payment until you sign the lease.

The agency works for the listing. The Scout works for you.

Any agency commission belongs to the listing side. We receive no part of it. The Scout is optional renter-side support, paid only at signing. Renting direct through the original listing is always free. Who works for whom

Premium Scout, optional: one month of the rent you sign, only when you sign and only for a listing the Scout worked for you. One rule whichever apartment you choose, minimum USD 500. Founding pilot through August 31 or first 10 deals: half fee (the USD 500 minimum still applies).

View on Mercado Libre

Pay a deposit or rent only once you are inside the apartment, with the keys in hand. A request to pay before you visit, especially crypto-only or into a personal account, is the most common rental scam.
