The short answer
Start a Villa de Merlo rental search by saying who will live in the home and how you will use it. The selected Chumamaya offers exclude pets, children under 13 and professional use. Their annual terms differ from booking a holiday cabin. Resolve those conditions first, then compare the full payments, equipment, meters and journeys from the actual unit.
- The selected monthly asks are US$231 (ARS 350,000), US$297 (ARS 450,000) and US$389 (ARS 590,000).
- All three offers exclude pets and children under 13.
- Each specifies a one-year contract and ICL adjustment every four months.
- Shared water and municipal charges need a clear allocation.
Our take
Compare the three units separately
| Home | Monthly asking rent | Published details |
|---|---|---|
| One bedroom, 45 m² covered | US$231 monthly asking rentARS 350,000 | Up to two occupants. Ground floor, bottled gas, electric hot water. Separate water and electricity meters. |
| Unit 3, two bedrooms, 65 m² covered | US$297 monthly asking rentARS 450,000 | Up to three occupants. Ground floor, bottled gas, electric hot water. Individual electricity meter; shared proportional water and municipal charges. |
| Unit 12-D, two bedrooms, 125 m² | US$389 monthly asking rentARS 590,000 | Up to four occupants. Two floors, internal stairs, two bathrooms, covered parking. Natural gas appears in the service list. |
The one-bedroom offer lists 45 m² covered and 85 m² total. It describes separate water and electricity meters, proportional municipal charges, bottled gas and an electric water heater. The gas cylinder and fill are excluded.1
Unit 3 has two bedrooms and 65 m² covered. Its electricity meter is individual, while water and municipal charges are shared proportionally. It is unfurnished and uses bottled gas for cooking. Ask how the shared charge is measured and divided.2
Unit 12-D has two floors, internal stairs, two bathrooms and covered parking. It is unfurnished. The service list includes natural gas and an electric water heater. Inspect the actual connected appliances rather than assuming its equipment matches the smaller units.3
Separate entry money from recurring bills
Unit 3 explicitly asks for one month in advance, one month as deposit and one month in professional fees. At its displayed rent, those three components total US$890 (ARS 1,350,000). This adds the original peso components before conversion. Services, insurance, equipment and other agreed charges remain separate.2,
The one-bedroom offer states a professional fee equal to one month of rent. Its deposit amount and Unit 12-D's professional fee still need a written quote. Confirm reservation, cancellation and deposit-return terms.1,
Confirm use, guarantee and adjustment
Name the household
Disclose ages, occupants and pets before arranging a viewing.
Describe the use
Ask whether your actual home-working arrangement is permitted under the professional-use restriction.
Resolve the guarantee
Each offer asks for renter income evidence and two third-party salary guarantees. Obtain the accepted documents for your situation.
Read the annual contract
Confirm the starting rent, four-month ICL adjustment dates and how the new amount is communicated.
Itemize the bills
Name rent, water, electricity, municipal charges, insurance, gas and any shared allocation.
Inspect the occupied home and handover
Run taps, hot water and installed equipment. Ask for recent bills, meter readings and the owner's account of supply interruptions. Agree who manages the water account. The cooperative's ownership-transfer procedure is not a universal renter transfer process.5
Check stairs, drainage, access, screens and bedroom comfort. Record furniture, appliances, keys and existing damage in the signed inventory. Then try the school, care or bus journey from the entrance you will use.6,
