Regulation and Argentine Government Supervision

Laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances, apply to the development and operation of our properties. Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping mall leases. Since our shopping mall leases generally differ from ordinary commercial leases, we have developed contractual provisions which govern the commercial relationship with our shopping mall tenants.
Leases

On December 20, 2023, President Milei enacted Emergency Decree No. 70/2023, which introduced amendments to certain provisions applicable to lease agreements, including the repeal of Law No. 27,551 and the amendment of specific articles of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code. The Decree 70/2023 became effective on December 29, 2023. The principal changes introduced with respect to real estate lease agreements include the following:

1. Elimination of statutory minimum lease terms. The statutory minimum terms previously applicable to real estate lease agreements have been eliminated. Accordingly, as from the effective date of the Decree No. 70/2023, lease agreements for real estate, regardless of their intended use (residential or otherwise), may be entered into for such term as may be agreed by the parties. In the absence of an express contractual term, the default terms under the Civil and Commercial Code shall apply: two years for permanent housing with or without furniture, three years for all other purposes, and, in the case of temporary leases, the term established by the customs and practices prevailing at the location of the leased property.

2. Currency and adjustment mechanisms. The Decree No. 70/2023 expressly authorizes the rent to be denominated either in legal tender (Argentine pesos) or in foreign currency (U.S. dollars, euros, etc.). Where rent is denominated in foreign currency, the tenant may not compel the landlord to accept payment in any other currency (e.g., pesos). The parties may freely determine the index applicable to rent adjustments. In the event the index selected by the parties ceases to be published, the official index of similar characteristics published by INDEC shall apply. In the case of leases denominated in foreign currency, if the selected index ceases to be published, the applicable index shall be the official index of similar characteristics performing the same function in the jurisdiction of the currency of payment
