Abstract

Residential rental is the form of tenure that grew the most in Argentina and other countries in the region in recent years. According to surveys, about 16% of Argentine households are tenants; in the big cities between 25 and 30%. In parallel, a significant number of households cannot access to housing for rent due to the rigid limitations that the system imposes, aggravated by the strong inequalities and abuses in the relations between owners and tenants, both in the formal and informal markets. The City of Córdoba was no exception and joined the mercantile space-dynamics. The present work proposes to inquire about the tenancy in the City of Córdoba, establishing relationships with the unequal urban context and the challenges of access to habitat in Latin America. The article gives an account of the situation of rental housing, the value /salary/location relation and the difficulties of access by the low-income sectors, focusing on the gender issues. In parallel, existing movements and experiences in the region will be analyzed for the thought of a local rent policy that led to a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable city.
