From the cessation, they point out that it is due to a combination of several factors. One of them is that during 2023, supply prices shot over inflation and dollar, since the owners sought to cover prolonged periods without increases. However, after the repeal of the rental law, the owners can adjust the conditions more frequently.
Another reason is the increase in the offer of properties for rent, motivated by deregulation, and the fall of the purchasing power of families, which limits the ability to validate high prices.
