What Determines Your Rental Experience?
Is your rental experience determined by the web site, e.g. ByTArgentina, or by the apartment owner? I. E. If I search here for any bad experiences with, e.g. ByTArgentina will the answer mean anything? Or are the web sites just a bunch of ads and you end up dealing with an owner, and so two people who both find their apartments on, e.g. ByTArgentina might have completely different experiences because the two apartments have different owners?
Let me turn it around, what do I need to look for to avoid being ripped off?
Thanks, Bob
Concerns with apartment rentals
This poll idea is very good, but I feel it is missing a space to add "other problems and be able to explain". My main concern and probably that of others living in BsAs with obligations is that to rent the apartment one needs to provide credit card as security and perhaps for payment. This creates a trace that could lead to some serious family consequences. Thus, I would much rather prefer to pay cash upfront and put cash (lots if need be) as deposit and have none of these issues. In addition, I had an experience last year where rental to non-americans become an issue.
Thanks

Hi Hemin,
Actually, the thread itself is the place to comment on issues not itemized in the poll.
Regarding the credit card trail, I can tell you that I accept credit cards as a deposit for the rental and as a damage security deposit (just like all hotels do) but I do not (and in fact have never) actually charged anyone's credit card because the rent is always paid in cash. Problem solved.
Thanks,
