What to watch out for

Deposit theft. Scammers collect deposits online and disappear. They create urgency ("someone else wants it") to pressure you into paying before you've seen the place.

→ How to avoid: Never transfer money before visiting in person. If someone asks for payment before you've seen the apartment, walk away.

Size misrepresentation. Photos show a different or larger unit than what you'll actually rent. Common in buildings with multiple unit types.

→ How to avoid: Always verify the exact apartment you'll be renting, not just the building lobby. Ask to see the unit number on the contract before signing.

Neighborhood mislabeling. Listings marked "Palermo" that are actually in Villa Crespo or Chacarita. A few blocks can mean a different barrio entirely.

→ How to avoid: Check the exact address on Google Maps before viewing. Unitrank shows the real barrio for every listing.

Mid-stay rent increases. Some landlords try to raise rent after you've moved in, knowing you're in a weak position as a foreigner.

→ How to avoid: Negotiate the full-term price upfront and get it in writing. DNU 70/2023 allows free negotiation, so your contract terms are what you agree to.

Fake guarantee companies. Fraudsters posing as guarantee providers collect fees and vanish, leaving you without coverage.

→ How to avoid: Only use recognized insurers (GarantiaYa, Garantor, Finaer). Never pay a "guarantee fee" directly to an agent or landlord.

You may not need a guarantee

Families on short-term furnished rentals (under 12 months) usually don't need a guarantee. Temporary rental contracts (alquiler temporario) are the standard for expat families on stays under 12 months and don't require any guarantee. This is what most international families use.

If you're signing a long-term contract (12+ months), you'll need one of these options:

Seguro de caucion: Insurance product, 3-8% of total contract value. Recognized companies: GarantiaYa, Garantor, Finaer.

Garantia BA: Free government program for students with Argentine ID (DNI) and proof of university enrollment.

Prepay upfront: Some landlords accept 3-6 months prepaid instead of a formal guarantee.
