Bogota, Colombia as seen during a recent AIRINC cost of living survey.

Political Change and New Regulations

The rental market is up in Bogota. The newly elected president’s tax cuts on corporations have led to more investment and more assignee arrivals, increasing demand for an already limited housing supply. In addition, sources said, rising property values have directly increased rental prices because of a Colombian law stating that rent must be no more than 1% of the total home price. Thus as home prices increase, rents may increase as well.
