Thursday night we will be on a plane again for our trip to Buenos Aires; the last one before moving at the end of April. The goal is to find an apartment for when we move with our pets. I don't know if someone went through this already but it can be a very interesting adventure. First challenge: find an apartment that allows pets - 2 big dogs and 2 cats. Second challenge: to find a good one in the district that we like AND in our price range. When you put everything together you end up with a big giant puzzle. To make things worse - there are two types of rentals in Buenos Aires: short-term or less than six months and long-term of more than six months. Short-term you can find for as short as several days and it's less than a hotel usually. If you you want something furnished this is a great option, but usually more expensive. Long-term you will need a guarantor who will basically put their property as collateral, or sometimes you can negotiate to pay 6 months or a year when you move in. Then you still have the security deposit of 1 - 2 months. Oh well, this is just one of the steps that you have to go through to live in this wonderful country
