Anew month is about to begin, and with it will come an increase in rental contracts with adjustments scheduled for April. It's important to clarify that the increase will depend on the type of lease agreement signed, as three types of agreements are currently in effect . These are:
However, the impact at the beginning of the month will only be seen in one type of rental agreement because only those signed after the repeal of the rental law will be updated. This is because contracts agreed upon under the old rental law—although many are still in effect—and with adjustments based on the ICL (Consumer Price Index) will no longer receive increases; and those signed after the update of the regulations—in October 2023—will not see another increase until after April 18, 2026.

In most cases, the agreements include quarterly or four-monthly updates based on inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Thus, for those who signed contracts with quarterly adjustments, the April increase will be calculated using the latest index published by INDEC (February 2025), resulting in an 8.87% increase . In concrete terms: if the rent is $600,000, the new amount to be paid in April will be $653,240. Meanwhile, if the rent is $800,000, the new amount will rise to $870,987.
Now, the market landscape is different : the vast majority of rental contracts are now negotiated freely between the parties, for two years with adjustments every three or four months , in pesos and tied to inflation. Therefore, both tenants whose agreements are ending and those who have chosen to continue them will have to agree to the new contract under these conditions.
However, a key point to consider is that the prices currently listed on the market tend to be lower than the prices tenants pay under their contracts. This is because a gap emerged between the ICL adjustment and the rental prices of new contracts , although this gap has narrowed due to the slowdown in inflation.

Anew month is about to begin, and with it will come an increase in rental contracts with adjustments scheduled for April. It's important to clarify that the increase will depend on the type of lease agreement signed, as three types of agreements are currently in effect . These are:
- Those that were signed under the rental law (until October 17, 2023): have annual adjustments by the Rental Contract Index (ICL).
- Those who did so after the update of the regulations (from October 18 to December 29, 2023): with semi-annual adjustments for Casa Propia.
- Those agreed upon after the repeal of the law —December 29, 2023—are subject to contractual freedom between the parties. Most contracts are adjusted for inflation (CPI) every three or four months.
However, the impact at the beginning of the month will only be seen in one type of rental agreement because only those signed after the repeal of the rental law will be updated.

What is the rent increase in April 2026?
In this context, the contracts that will receive increases next month are the following:With CPI
From December 29, 2023, with the repeal of the rental law , contracts began to be freely negotiated between the parties. This means that landlords and tenants can freely agree on the contract duration, the frequency of adjustments, and the index to be used.In most cases, the agreements include quarterly or four-monthly updates based on inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Thus, for those who signed contracts with quarterly adjustments, the April increase will be calculated using the latest index published by INDEC (February 2025), resulting in an 8.87% increase . In concrete terms: if the rent is $600,000, the new amount to be paid in April will be $653,240. Meanwhile, if the rent is $800,000, the new amount will rise to $870,987.

It's important to clarify that contracts signed under the Casa Propia index will only see increases starting in mid-April, because the law was updated in October 2023 with increases every six months. Therefore, contracts signed after October 18, 2023, will receive their fifth and final increase, with a 15.72% semi-annual adjustment. This means that if the rent started at $200,000 in 2023, this new increase will bring it to $1,134,738 (a value above the current market rate).With ICL
It's important to clarify that, since contracts are now freely negotiated between the parties, agreements can still be finalized with adjustments based on the ICL (Consumer Price Index), but they are no longer required to use a legally mandated index or for the adjustment to be annual, as the repealed regulation stipulated. Therefore, those who receive the April increase—with quarterly adjustments—based on this index will see a 6.23% rise (below the CPI). This means that a salary of $600,000 will increase to $637,360 .What happens to contracts that expire?
In April, agreements that were agreed in the same month of 2023 and signed under the rental law will also end: for three years and with annual adjustments under the ICL .Now, the market landscape is different : the vast majority of rental contracts are now negotiated freely between the parties, for two years with adjustments every three or four months , in pesos and tied to inflation. Therefore, both tenants whose agreements are ending and those who have chosen to continue them will have to agree to the new contract under these conditions.
However, a key point to consider is that the prices currently listed on the market tend to be lower than the prices tenants pay under their contracts. This is because a gap emerged between the ICL adjustment and the rental prices of new contracts , although this gap has narrowed due to the slowdown in inflation.
