How much does the HOA fee add to the rent?
In a 2 estrato rooms 3 it amounts to $141,900 per month; in estrato 4, $268,000. See the [rate of HOA fee] study (/ studies / rate-of-HOA fee-bogota).
The real cost of an apartment for rent in Bogotá is the rent plus HOA fee: in a 2 estrato rooms 3 are $1,650,000 per month (rental $1,508,100) and in estrato 4, $2,768,000 (rental $2,500,000). To enter, the first typical payment is a full month (rent + HOA fee). If you rent with real estate, add up the policy study (about 5% + VAT of the rent): about $1,739,732 in estrato 3. In Colombia, the 820 Act of 2003 does not allow for the requirement of deposits in money.
