Rent control opponents just come on the internet and lie. Rent in Buenos Aires, in 2025, has increased by 16.3%, which is ABOVE the (already shocking) 14.7% inflation rate. This is a 45.5% cumulative increase in the recent 12 month period.

How many more times will we see headlines like this until something changes? Our rivers have been treated as open sewers for years, while water companies hand out billions to shareholders and our bills rise. It’s time to nationalise.
