The opposition returns to office in Deputies and lobbies to reform the rent law

The opposition to the Deputies seeks to obtain a new political victory in Congress after the approval of the single ballot and is now putting pressure on reform the rental lawproposal opposed by the ruling party that tries to keep the rule voted three years ago.

In a plenary session of the General Legislation and Budget Committees, led respectively by Cecilia Moreau and Carlos Heller, the deputies of Together for Change agreed a minority opinion with representatives of the federal Interblock and the United Provinces who hope to bring the local.

The opposition project promotes two-year contractsupdate between three and 12 months, which is defined by the two parties without limit.

The initiative provides that the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Wholesale Price Index (IPM) and / or the Salary Index (IS) prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Census rents increase reference (INDEC) or a combination of these indices, as agreed by the parties.

Likewise, the proposal agreed by the opposition includes tax incentives to increase the rental offer. This is why an exemption from paying personal property tax is proposed for those who declare leases with a limit of 30 million dollars).

It also promotes a reform of the monotax regime so that people with up to three rental properties do not have to switch to the general regime and a modification so that the payment of rents is not met by the tax on checks.

Although the ruling party managed to collect 40 signatures to impose its majority opinion, the opposition collected 39 adhesions thanks to the adhesions of the representatives of Together for Change and the Federal and United Provinces interlocks.

It is clear that the opposition will try to put pressure on the proposal to be discussed in the next few days in a special session, since it is assumed in the classroom that it will have the necessary votes to overturn the initiative promoted by the Fronte di Tutto, which maintains the duration of three years in the contracts.

Regarding the updating of contracts, the ruling party also supports the formula that combines the monthly changes in the CPI index and the average taxable salary of permanent workers (RIPTE), which must be prepared and published monthly by the Central Bank.

What the ruling party adds is that it makes it easier for tenants to present guarantees.
